Fabrication for investor-owned utilities, public power, and electric cooperatives — substation steel to transformer tanks.
Fabrication for investor-owned utilities, public power, and electric cooperatives — substation steel to transformer tanks.
From substation and transmission structures to transformer tanks, cabinets, switchgear enclosures, and bus ducts, FabTek fabricates the metal backbone investor-owned utilities, public power agencies, and electric cooperatives depend on — built to your standards, your drawings, and your inspection requirements.
America’s grid is being rebuilt and expanded at the same time. Utilities are hardening aging infrastructure against storms, replacing equipment that is decades past its design life, and connecting new load from electrification and economic growth — all while imported steel and long-lead components stretch project timelines. A domestic fabrication partner takes that risk off your critical path.
Every part FabTek ships is fabricated in-house in Hazlehurst, Mississippi under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system, welded by AWS-certified welders, and finished with corrosion protection rated to an IEEE 2000-hour salt-spray standard. The result is consistent quality, auditable documentation, and schedules you can actually plan a capital program around.
Demand is climbing faster than utilities can build. Aging substations need replacing, storms keep getting worse, and the equipment to fix it all is stuck behind the longest lead times the industry has ever seen — and when the metal that holds your grid together is the thing holding up your project, you need a fabricator you can depend on.
Data centers, electrification, and reshored manufacturing are driving the first real load growth in a generation — and the grid has to expand to meet it now, not in five years.
Much of the country’s substation and transmission steel was built decades ago. Replacing and hardening it is no longer optional — and it competes for the same shop capacity as every new build.
Transformers and critical steel now carry lead times measured in years. One slipped delivery cascades through an entire capital program — and the meter on a delayed energization never stops running.
When extreme weather takes a substation down, restoration can’t wait on a quoted lead time. You need replacement steel and enclosures fast — and most suppliers simply aren’t built to surge.
Reliability is the whole job. When you specify substation steel or transformer enclosures, you need parts that arrive on time, fit the first time, and hold up in the field for decades. FabTek builds to your prints and your utility standards — not to a generic catalog — so what shows up on site matches what your engineers designed.
Storms and outages don’t wait for lead times. Our in-house, single-roof model and reserved overflow capacity let us turn around rush and emergency fabrication when a substation has to come back online fast. One domestic source for the structures, the tanks, and the enclosures means no vendor chain to chase during a restoration.
And because cut, form, weld, machine, finish, and galvanizing-grade coating all happen under one roof, every job carries full material traceability and weld documentation — the kind of records your QA team and auditors expect.

FabTek fabricates substation and transmission structures, support steel, transformer tanks, transformer cabinets, switchgear enclosures, and bus ducts for investor-owned utilities, public power agencies, and electric cooperatives. Everything is built to your drawings and standards under one roof.
Yes. FabTek fabricates in Hazlehurst, Mississippi, built in the U.S.A. Keeping fabrication domestic removes overseas lead times and tariff exposure from your project schedule.
Yes. Our single-roof model, reserved overflow capacity, and dual-shift capability let us prioritize rush and emergency fabrication so critical substation equipment can be replaced and brought back online quickly.
FabTek provides in-house powder-coat finishing backed by an IEEE 2000-hour salt-spray rating, along with surface preparation and media blasting, for parts that survive decades of outdoor utility service.
Yes. FabTek is a build-to-print fabricator. We work from your prints, bills of material, and utility specifications, and we provide material traceability and AWS weld documentation for your QA and audit needs.
FabTek is headquartered in Hazlehurst, Mississippi (Jackson metro) and serves utilities across the Southeast and beyond, with capacity to ship nationwide.
