When discussing industrial fabrication, conversations often focus on welding, machining, inspections, and the finished piece of equipment. While each of these plays an important role, one of the most significant decisions is often made long before fabrication even...
When people see large industrial equipment arriving at a project site, it's easy to assume the fabrication work is complete. The equipment has been built, inspected, loaded onto trucks, and delivered. The next step is simply: installation. In reality, some of the most...
When people see a piece of industrial equipment arriving at a job site, it's easy to assume the hardest part is over. In reality, successfully shipping large fabricated equipment is the result of weeks (or sometimes months) of planning that begins long before the...
Water and wastewater infrastructure has always been one of the most critical systems supporting modern communities. Every day, treatment facilities, pumping stations, and distribution networks operate behind the scenes to provide clean water and protect environmental...
For 55 years, D&R Custom Steel has fabricated equipment for projects across North America. From municipal water and wastewater infrastructure to industrial processing systems and specialized stainless steel equipment, our work has travelled thousands of kilometres...
Equalization tanks are one of the most important balancing components within modern wastewater treatment systems. Their role is straightforward in theory: manage fluctuations in flow volume and stabilize the system during periods of sudden demand. In practice,...
Material selection in industrial fabrication is undergoing a noticeable shift. Where decisions were once driven primarily by upfront cost, they are now increasingly based on how materials perform over time. Engineers and project teams are placing greater emphasis on...
Reaching 55 years in industrial fabrication is not defined by a single milestone. It is the result of consistent execution, long term relationships, and the ability to adapt as industries evolve. Founded on May 1, 1971 by John Dewitt (D) & Yke Reitsma (R), the...
Clarifiers are a core component of water and wastewater treatment systems, responsible for separating solids from liquids through controlled settling processes. Their performance directly impacts system efficiency, maintenance requirements, and long term operational...
