The steel around the diesel — day-tank skids with containment, saddles and supports for bulk tanks, fill and transfer-pump stations, pipe racks and the welded fuel spools between them — fabricated to the fuel-system drawings and tested before they ship.
A hyperscale generator yard holds hours or days of diesel in bulk tanks, moves it through transfer pumps and piping to day tanks at each generator, and has to contain every drop of it. The tanks are the tank manufacturer's; nearly everything around them is fabrication: the skids and containment pans day tanks sit on, the saddles and supports under bulk tanks, the fill-station and transfer-pump enclosures, the pipe racks and supports, and the welded double-wall or single-wall fuel piping spools that tie it together.
FabTek fabricates fuel-system steel at our Hazlehurst, Mississippi plants. Skids, saddles and containment are welded to AWS D1.1 and leak-tested; fuel spools are welded to ASME B31.1 or B31.3 by Section IX welders and pressure-tested; pump and fill-station enclosures come from our enclosure line; and everything is powder-coated in-house or galvanized through our finishing partners. It ships with the generator enclosures and yard steel from the same plants.
Welded skids with integral containment pans sized to the tank, with lifting and anchor provisions.
Saddles, cradles and support frames for horizontal and vertical bulk tanks.
Enclosures and frames for fill connections, transfer pumps, filtration and metering.
Welded carbon steel supply and return spools, single- or double-wall, with flanged or welded ends.
Containment curbs, grating covers and dike crossings.
Data center generator yards and standby-power plants; hospital, utility and industrial standby generation; microgrids and remote-site power; and generator-set packagers who need skids, tanks supports and piping delivered with their units. Developers and electrical contractors buy the yard package; generator OEMs and packagers buy skids and spools to complete their scope.

A containment pan with a pinhole is not containment. FabTek leak-tests every welded pan and curb before finish, pressure-tests every fuel spool, and ships records with each item. Skids are detailed to the tank manufacturer's certified drawings and the generator's day-tank location so the fuel runs land where the piping plan says.
Built at four production sites in Hazlehurst, Mississippi.
ISO 9001:2015 quality management, AWS-certified welding, OSHA-compliant facilities.
In-house powder coat backed by an IEEE 2000-hour salt-spray certification.
Reserved-line capacity and the automation to grow with your volume.
Yes. We weld single- and double-wall carbon steel fuel spools to ASME B31.1/B31.3 with Section IX welders, pressure-tested and documented.
FabTek Industries fabricates day-tank skids, containment pans, tank saddles and fill stations at its Mississippi plants for data center developers, electrical contractors and generator packagers.
No. Tanks are the tank manufacturer's. We fabricate the skids, saddles, containment, enclosures and piping around them.
Yes. Generator enclosures, fuel steel and yard supports come from the same plants on one schedule.
