Yes, we handle oversized plates suitable for large structures and storage applications.

Our software and hardware technology, and experienced operators, allow us to handle outsized projects and atypical forms with ease and accuracy.

There’s only minimal distortion, thanks to the narrow heat-affected zone. Proper handling and cooling keep the plate stable.

We help you cut costs and lead times as well as minimize logistics complexities by performing multiple functions in our centralized facility. These include, but aren’t limited to, blasting, rolling, cutting, forming, beveling, and coating processes.

Angle accuracy across long bends is controlled using advanced measurement systems, an expert in-house team, and stringent process control. Proper material selection and machine maintenance are also important.

For this, we specifically look at the steel grade, the thickness, and the accuracy you need. Most standard fabrication plate sizes used in tank and structural work fall well within laser-cutting capability.

All our products are mill-certified, ensuring they meet industry standards.

Springback needs a combined process that includes adjustments in the design, suitable tooling selection, and process compensation. This helps to handle the high-strength and work-hardening properties of the steel.

We leave a bare margin of 3 inches uncoated to facilitate welding. If needed, we also provide the option to simultaneously apply a weldable primer to the bottom part of the plate.

Consistency at Premium Plate is maintained through CNC back gauge control, die-bed crowning, and stable bending over the full 20’ capacity.

We check the thickness of dry film according to SSPC PA-2 standards. The testing ensures the thickness is within the specified limits for offering protective performance.

By achieving the SSPC SP-10 surface profile and applying pre-construction primers in controlled conditions, the plate substrate is better prepared for coatings and downstream fabrication. This also reduces weld spatter damage and corrosion.

Our machines control heat and cutting speed to minimize thermal distortion.

Each plate is individually tracked; processing data is recorded electronically, and the plate is stenciled to customer specifications before shipment.

Lead time varies by quantity and specifications. But our integrated facility and streamlined workflow help expedite turnaround relative to field blasting and priming.

Our steel products are designed to provide strength, stability, and durability. Our large-format plates, up to 88 ft long and 12 ft wide, are ideal for ground-mounted systems and utility-scale arrays.

Typical components include screens, feature walls, canopies, sunshades, and custom-cut architectural profiles.

Production timelines vary depending on the size and specifications of the tank. Typical lead times range from 6 to 10 weeks after order confirmation. Expedited options may be available for time-sensitive projects.

A sharp, dense profile free of mill scale, rust, and coating for steel shot blasting services. It’s suitable for high-adhesion primers and long-term protection.

We can roll carbon, alloy, HSLA (High-Strength, Low-Alloy), and stainless steel plates. If you’re not sure which option is best for your application, we can help you decide and even help source the materials for you.

Typical components include silo and hopper panels, structural supports, fertilizer tank sections, barn panels, machinery parts, and irrigation system components.

Various parts are well-suited, such as tank rims, windgirders, bulkheads, and stiffeners. Many custom-fabricated pieces also benefit from controlled, predictable bending.

It shapes the edge of a steel plate to prepare it for welding or assembly, improving joint strength and alignment.

We support carbon, alloy, HSLA, and stainless steel plates commonly used in structural, tank, and industrial fabrication for our flat sheet laser cutting service. For this, we use our 360-degree, high-definition rotating laser head.

Premium Plate carries out post weld heat treatment services in compliance with API 650, ASME, and client-specific code provisions of tanks and pressure holding parts.

We apply primer and coating systems from major suppliers in the sector. We apply up to a nominal dry film thickness of 5 mil to the top surface of the steel plate.

A big advantage of using a CNC-controlled plasma cutting system is that it results in clean, repeatable, weld-ready cuts. There is typically little to no need for post-cut processing.

Usually not. Metal laser cutting service delivers clean, burr-free edges for up to 2” thick plates, which are typically ready for welding or forming.
