Pipework and general equipment fabrication
Tulway’s capabilities involve a full design service for process pipework fabrication projects. From orbital welding of high purity piping for pharmaceutical industries, to heavy wall chrome molybdenum PWHT pipework, Tulway is proud to offer both welding and fabrications services.
With access to a worldwide supplier network, our in-house ability allows us to fabricate various types of pipework, from all grades of stainless steel (including thin wall stainless steel to XXS schedule tubes), carbon steel, exotics, and plastics.
Our extensive portfolio of completed works includes a wide range of stainless steel installations, vessels and prefabricated pipework, from CHP plants through to pre-fabricated skid projects, completing orders using the most common grade of st/st for the process and marine industries, including 304 & 316L, 6Mo stainless steel, duplex and super duplex.
We can design and build bespoke vessels, along with high-pressure piping using fully traceable material supplied with relevant material certifications.
Depending on the nature of the project, fabrications can also be offered with specialist linings, such as PTFE for added corrosion resistance. All pressure testing facilities are available up to 10,000 P.S.I, complete with fully calibrated equipment, and all types of NDT are carried out by UKAS approved suppliers. Testing to these pressures can be carried out using water, inert gases or compressed air. Third-party witnessing can also be arranged if required.
Exotic alloy fabrication
We have access to a worldwide supplier network, built up over many years. Our portfolio of completed projects includes fabrications from Titanium, Hastelloy, Nickel, Cunifer and Super Duplex.
Tulway also offers the supply & installation of PTFE lined pipework, along with all plastics, including polypropylene, HDPE & PVDF.
Plant and equipment installation
Tulway specialises in all aspects of industrial handling to deliver a quality equipment installation service across a diverse array of industries, using a range of techniques. We work with each client from inception, to ensure all installations are fully planned and documented before a safe and successful completion.
Experienced in the installation of plants and equipment, our dedicated team of in-house engineers and fitters provide a cost-effective approach to deliver a first-class service.
Regardless of the nature of the project or the scale of works undertaken, and while service and quality is significant to our business, our approach to safety is of equal importance. Health and safety plays an integral role in the elevated standard of service we provide and the high installation quality we are renowned for.
At Tulway we utilise the most appropriate installation methods depending on your industry and the operating environment. This can be provided as a single discipline or consolidated as an innovative, all-in-one project solution, directed and made seamless by Tulway’s project management team.
Our installation services are tailored to best suit your requirements, regardless of whether Tulway delivers as part of an integrated turnkey solution or as a single discipline. The ability to offer each individual discipline helps to differentiate our business as we provide a cost-effective solution to adhere to your project objectives.
In conjunction with our long-term partners, Tulway offers contract lifts complete with lift supervisors. In-depth berthing studies and lifting plans, along with supervision of loading and unloading major plant items, can be arranged on request. Installations of all types of process plant and equipment items such as valves, filters, pumps, tanks, piping, separators, heat exchangers and chillers are within Tulway’s service offering.

Our in house capabilities allow us to deliver a range of specialist, innovative modularisation solutions, including skids and modular units that can be built off-site. Our skid production capability delivers a cost effective solution suitable for all construction projects.
Tulway delivers an end-to-end solution offering design, procurement, manufacture and testing with notified body inspections available at both workshops in Knowsley and Middlesbrough. Modular construction is a sustainable solution made cost-effective as a result of minimal waste, labour and reduced transportation costs.
Pre-assembled units can arrive at your site, fully tested, coated and inspected, ready to hook up with an existing plant or a new build. Working across a plethora of sectors, Tulway has completed skid units for both chemical, oil, pharmaceutical and building industries, with all clients benefitting from the dynamic service our in-house team provides and the cost-effective solutions we expertly deliver at each phase of the project.
BS EN 1090
Execution Class 3
Full fabrication and assembly of structural steelwork and components is available at both sites in Liverpool and Middlesbrough to Execution Class II and Class III.
BS EN 1090 is a strict set of harmonised European standards regulating both the fabrication and assembly of stainless and steel structures.
Since July 2014, products within the scope of this standard must be CE marked when released to market, therefore the production of constructional steel or aluminium requires a CE / UKCA mark to be sold or supplied within the current market.
Sheet Metal Works
Sheet metal fabrication and welding services are part of our commercial and industrial steel and metal fabrication process. Tulway offers a specialised engineering service for the design and manufacture of the most complex of fabrications.
Using computer-operated laser cutters, along with punching tools, forming tools and our extensive knowledge of sheet metal works, we can fabricate most parts. Products can be produced for nuclear, aerospace, automotive, offshore & petrochemical applications to the highest precision standards.
Certified to ISO 9001:2015 and with over 25 years handling sheet metal work for insulation of aluminium, stainless steel and stucco, Tulway provides a comprehensive computer design, manufacture and installation service for all sectors and applications of engineering.
To meet the growing demand for our manufacturing services, the introduction of our Middlesbrough depot allows increased capacity, enabling exceptional precision engineering including laser cutting, laser profiling, powder coating, welding, CNC punching, CNC folding, assembly inserting, stud welding and prototype design.
As experts in sheet metal works, we understand that each project has a unique set of specifications and requirements, Tulway can cut, fold, weld and polish, offering a one-stop solution for one-off prototypes or large scale projects
