Who We Are

A nimble, code-driven fabrication shop.

Founded in 1986, Custom Heliarc grew up in API 618 reciprocating compression and has become a dedicated vessel and packaging facility for OEMs and EPCs across the energy sector.

We are ASME Section VIII Division 1 “U” and “R” authorized and National Board registered. From specialty cryogenic and medical reactor vessels to 100,000-lb compression skids, we build complex, high-spec systems and help identify issues before they happen.

  • We do what is specified — not our standard.
  • We develop and maintain long-term client relationships.
  • We don’t over-commit — we won’t take work we can’t do right.
