Who We Are
The design looks perfect, meets all engineering specifications and the client signed off on the contract. Next question becomes, HOW will the design be fabricated given the tight budget and timing requirements?
The issues surrounding design to fabrication are not new — it is a daily pain point for every engineer, designer, and fabricator in the industrial arts. Since 1976, Tri-Lett has provided trusted solutions to the most complex design and fabrication challenges.
Our customer base spans a broad spectrum of industries: food processing, lumber, waste treatment, mining, tanks, furnaces, hi-tech, automation, solar, aerospace, maritime, and more. Let us use our know-how to fabricate your design on time and on budget.
