Fabrication [ STEEL & DUCTWORK ]

Fabrication Services.

Casthouse hardware and auxiliaries — launders, hoods, ladles, tap-out systems and more — engineered by CETAG, built through trusted fabrication partners.

CETAG casthouse fabrication — launders, hoods, ladles and tap-out systems

01 / Fabrication [ Steel & Ductwork ]

Hardware that fits the casthouse, not just the drawing.

Casthouse hardware and auxiliaries — launders, hoods, ladles and tap-out systems — fabricated through trusted partners and coordinated end-to-end by CETAG engineering.

We translate process requirements into shop drawings, run quality oversight at the fabricator, and stay involved until the part is craned into position on site. That keeps drawings, shop reality and plant interfaces aligned through one accountable team.

›Heavy structural steelwork & support frames
›Industrial ductwork, hoods and exhaust routing
›Custom skids, platforms and process assemblies
›Shop QC, surface protection and transport readiness

Scope at a glance

What "fabrication-ready" means in practice.

Reference values from typical CETAG fabrication packages. Final figures depend on the specific scope and partner shop.

Assembly weight

up to 12 t

per single fabricated piece, including transport and craning constraints.

Welding quality

EN ISO 3834-2

comprehensive quality framework applied at partner shops.

Lead time

8–14 wks

typical from frozen drawings to shop completion for mid-size scopes.

Site-fit tolerance

± 2 mm

interface tolerance class targeted on critical connections.

How it works

From specification to site-ready hardware.

Three phases keep drawings, shop output and plant interfaces aligned — with CETAG accountable through all of them.

01 / INPUT

Specification

Drawings, loads, materials, interfaces and site constraints are frozen with the customer before any shop is engaged.

02 / SHOP

Fabrication oversight

Work runs at vetted partner shops with CETAG handling QC, welding documentation and fit checks against the issued drawings.

03 / SITE

Delivery & fit-up

Transport, handling and installation sequence are planned with the parts — so the result lands in the plant ready to be tied in.

What we fabricate

Casthouse hardware, built through trusted fabrication partners.

CETAG offers fabrication services in collaboration with its fabrication partners, delivering equipment and auxiliaries that facilitate casthouse operation — engineered by CETAG, manufactured to specification.

›Launder systems

›Exhaust gas & dust treatment systems

›Ladles & ladle pre-heaters

›Furnace tap-out systems

›Overhead cranes & jib cranes

›Weighing systems

›Tools & bins for casthouse operation

›Spare parts & custom auxiliaries

What you receive

Four deliverables, one accountable team.

Each fabrication package leaves CETAG with these four work products — documented, traceable and ready for plant integration.

Discuss fabrication scope

01 / STEEL

Production-ready steelwork

Fabricated frames, supports and primary structures matched to drawings and site interfaces.

02 / DUCTWORK

Ductwork & exhaust parts

Welded ducts, hoods and routing kits sized for the actual plant layout and process conditions.

03 / ASSEMBLY

Pre-assembled modules

Skids and platforms prepared with transport, lifting points and installation sequence in mind.

04 / DOCS

QC & handover package

Material certs, weld records, dimensional reports and as-built drawings for the operator file.

Related services

Often combined with fabrication.

Fabrication scopes usually start upstream of the shop — either with engineering, a 3D capture of the existing plant, or a VR walk-through before steel is cut.
