Wastewater Treatment Metal Fabrication

For more than 30 years, Richards Sheet Metal has produced stainless steel fabrication for the wastewater treatment industry. From custom components to complete systems, our team fabricates wastewater treatment equipment based on customer-provided designs, specifications and project requirements.

Wastewater treatment facilities depend on durable, corrosion-resistant metalwork that can perform in demanding environments. Richards helps customers turn engineered designs into high-quality fabricated products built for long service life, reliable performance and efficient installation.

Stainless Steel Fabrication for Wastewater Treatment Systems

Richards produces custom stainless steel work for a wide range of wastewater treatment applications. Our fabrication team works from customer drawings and specifications, then reviews each design for opportunities to improve manufacturability, consistency and cost-efficiency.

This approach helps customers receive finished products that meet project requirements while also supporting better production outcomes. The goal is simple: deliver high-quality wastewater treatment components that provide long-term value to the end user.

Wastewater Treatment Components We Fabricate

Richards supports wastewater treatment projects involving custom stainless steel and fabricated metal components such as:

• Helical skimmer systems
• Structural supports and frames
• Stainless steel tanks, covers and assemblies
• Platforms, brackets and access components
• Piping-related supports and fabricated assemblies
• Custom sheet metal and plate components
• Replacement or retrofit parts for existing treatment systems
• Fabricated components built to customer drawings and specifications

Because wastewater treatment projects vary by facility, system type and engineering requirements, our team works closely with customers to understand each project before fabrication begins.

Built for Demanding Treatment Environments

Wastewater treatment environments can expose fabricated components to moisture, chemicals, corrosion and continuous use. That makes material selection, fabrication quality and finishing details especially important.

Richards works primarily with stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminum in its welding program, and the company maintains certified welding capabilities supported by inspection processes such as visual inspection, liquid penetrant testing and magnetic particle testing. For wastewater treatment customers, that experience helps support projects where strength, cleanliness, fit and durability all matter.

Design Review and Manufacturability Support

Richards does more than fabricate what is shown on a drawing. As part of the production process, our team reviews customer designs to identify opportunities to standardize parts, improve fabrication efficiency and reduce unnecessary production complexity.

This can help customers:

• Improve consistency across repeated components
• Reduce production time when possible
• Improve fit-up and assembly
• Support long-term serviceability
• Control fabrication costs
• Maintain the integrity of the original design intent

Richards’ resource planning systems also help the team schedule, track, repeat and control processes and costs, improving responsiveness to customer needs.

Full-Service Fabrication Capabilities

Wastewater treatment fabrication often requires more than one process. Richards brings multiple in-house capabilities together to support complex metal fabrication projects, including:

• Flat sheet laser cutting
• Tube laser cutting
• CNC punching
• Precision sheet metal forming
• Certified welding
• Orbital welding
• Field services
• Painting and coating systems

Richards’ equipment includes laser cutting capacity for mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum, tube laser capacity, certified welding resources, press brakes, rolling equipment, drilling and tapping capabilities, CAD/CAM programming and a 90,000-square-foot manufacturing area.

Stainless Steel, Welding and Finishing Support

Many wastewater treatment projects require fabrication that is accurate, durable and ready for installation. Richards’ capabilities can support cutting, forming, welding, assembly and finishing needs within one manufacturing environment.

For projects that require corrosion protection or finishing, Richards also offers in-house wet coating capabilities and works with qualified sources for additional finish options. Its wet metal coating booth has capacity of 14 feet wide, 44 feet long and 12 feet high.

Fabricated Systems Shipped Nationwide

Richards has fabricated wastewater treatment systems that have been shipped throughout the United States. Whether supporting new facility construction, system upgrades, equipment replacement or custom component production, Richards provides experienced fabrication support from its Ogden, Utah facility.
