Red River has a rich history in prefabrication. We believe any project can be prefabricated. Resulting in cost savings, better quality and less exposure hours on your site.
exploreWe know uptime is key. We can design and manufacture module industrial process solutions to fit your exact targets.
exploreRed River’s performance in the field of pressure vessel manufacturing is anchored in our adherence to rigorous ASME standards, which are recognized globally for ensuring the quality and safety of pressure-containing devices. Our ability to contract manufacture means we work closely with clients to produce pressure vessels tailored to specific requirements, which may vary widely across different applications and industries.
Every pressure vessel that Red River produces is likely to start with a detailed design process. This involves using advanced engineering principles to calculate the stresses the vessel will face, the appropriate materials to withstand those stresses, and the best shape and size for the intended application. The design must also consider the temperature and chemical properties of the substances to be contained, as these factors can significantly affect the integrity of the vessel.
The choice of materials is crucial for the integrity of pressure vessels. Red River selects materials that not only withstand pressures but also are compatible with the chemicals they will contain and the operating temperatures they will endure. Common materials include various grades of steel and alloys that offer strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
The actual manufacturing process involves cutting, shaping, and assembling the materials into the designed structure. This may include rolling steel plates into cylinders, welding sections together, and installing nozzles and other fittings. Red River’s fabrication process is carried out by skilled craftsman using state-of-the-art equipment and processes to ensure precision and quality.
Once a pressure vessel is fabricated, it undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets ASME standards and the specific requirements of the client. This includes non-destructive testing (NDT) methods like radiography or ultrasonic testing to check for material defects, as well as hydrostatic testing, where the vessel is filled with water and pressurized to check for leaks and to ensure it can handle its intended operating pressure.
After passing all inspections and tests, the pressure vessel is certified with an ASME stamp, which is a mark of quality and compliance with safety standards. This certification is crucial for Red River’s clients, as it not only ensures the safety and reliability of the vessel but also is often a regulatory requirement for operation.
Red River may also provide ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure the long-term performance and safety of the pressure vessels. This could include regular inspections, testing, and repairs as needed.
With a storied history in prefabrication, Red River believes that any construction project can benefit from this approach. Prefabrication involves assembling components of a structure in a manufacturing site and transporting complete assemblies or sub-assemblies to the construction site where the structure is to be located. This method offers numerous advantages, such as cost savings through reduced waste and more efficient use of materials, improved quality control, and reduced safety risks since much of the work is done offsite in a controlled environment. Red River’s commitment to prefabrication demonstrates our innovative approach to construction, aiming to deliver projects that are not only cost-effective but also of superior quality.
♻️Reduced Material Waste-
A shop environment allows for precise measurement and cutting of materials, which minimizes waste. Bulk purchasing of materials can also reduce costs.
♻️Labor Savings-
Work in a shop setting can be streamlined and can occur simultaneously with site preparation, reducing the overall project timeline and labor costs.
♻️Transportation and Handling-
While transportation of large prefabricated sections can be costly, overall handling costs are often reduced due to the efficiency of the process.
♻️Regulatory Compliance-
It’s easier to ensure that prefabricated components comply with building codes and standards when they are produced in a controlled setting.
♻️Reduced On-Site Risks-
With less time spent working at heights or in potentially hazardous site conditions, the risk of accidents and injuries can be significantly reduced. This can often reduce insurance premium rates for clients.
♻️Controlled Environment-
In a shop setting, strict health and safety regulations, can be more easily attained than on a construction site.
♻️Sustainability-
Prefabrication can lead to more sustainable construction practices, as precise measurements and controlled conditions reduce waste.
♻️Energy Efficiency-
Components can be designed to optimize energy performance, with better insulation and tighter seals than might be achievable on-site.
♻️Parallel Processes-
Site work and building component production can occur simultaneously, speeding up the overall construction process.
♻️Quick Assembly-
On-site assembly of prefabricated components is typically much faster than on-site construction, leading to shorter project times.
♻️Design Flexibility-
Modern prefabrication techniques allow for a high degree of design flexibility, challenging the misconception that prefabricated buildings must be boxy or modular.
♻️Technological Integration-
Prefabrication is well-suited to integrating smart technologies and advanced materials into the construction process.
Understanding the critical nature of uptime in industrial processes, Red River manufactures modular solutions to meet exact client specifications and operational targets. Modular solutions involve creating entire sections of a plant or process system offsite and then transporting them to the final location for quick assembly and integration. This approach can significantly reduce the time required for on-site construction, thus minimizing downtime and accelerating the time to market for many industrial operations. Red River’s capability to provide these tailored modular solutions showcases their commitment to efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Red River is not just a manufacturing company; it’s a team of problem solvers who thrive on challenging projects that help bring back American industry. We engage in creating innovative solutions with significant societal impacts, such as developing new technologies for renewable energy or improving efficiency in traditional industries. The company’s philosophy is that our job is to support the inventors. We aren’t the designers/engineers of ground breaking projects, we are the people who build it. We focus on building enduring relationships with clients, partners, and communities, ensuring that our work not only meets technical and business objectives but also contributes positively to society at large and perpetuates American values.
Red River's services in pressure vessel manufacturing, prefabrication, and modular solutions are underpinned by a commitment to quality, safety, and innovation. We serve industries that demand the highest standards and seek to establish partnerships that lead to lasting benefits for all stakeholders involved.
