Capabilities
EPD (Engineered Products Division), located in Carlsbad, NM, is an experienced metals and
plastics fabrication company primarily engaged in the manufacturing of specialty and
commercial vessels and structural items. EPD has over 20 years’ experience in metals fabrication
and precision machining with one of the most comprehensively equipped facilities in the
Southwest.
EPD has a skilled labor force with a full range of equipment that allows us to manufacture and
fabricate a variety of products. We have experience manufacturing tanks, structural steel items,
containers, and other fabricated products. EPD can provide close tolerance machining with our
manual and CNC lathes and mills for both large and small items. Our fabrication skills allow us
to use various welding processes for all weldable materials and thicknesses. Facility capabilities
include a wide variety of machining, welding, cutting, forming and lifting/handling equipment.
This document includes examples of selected past projects as well as descriptions of the sizes
and handling capacities of our manufacturing and fabrication equipment. We look forward to
working with you on your next project.

Testing Capabilities
EPD offers a full complement of Non Destructive Examination (NDE) services with the best and
most qualified staff available. EPD contracts with two Level III, ASNT Certified Examiners
who have years of NDE experience. In addition to all the usual NDE capabilities, EPD also
offers radiograph examination and helium leak testing services including classroom instruction
and certification of Level II Examiners. We perform leak testing and hydrostatic testing for
piping and vessels.
EPD also offers destructive examination with a fully functional pressure test bunker and a
Type A performance-testing drop pad. This drop pad was constructed to meet the regulatory
requirements of the IAEA per Section A-618 of Safety Series No. 37. The pad with its present
configuration will support drop testing of containers weighing up to 27,000 lb.
EXPERIENCE AND PRODUCTS
Our products primarily service the Department of Energy, Commercial Nuclear, Mining, and Oil
and Gas industries. We deliver precision-machined parts, piping and vessels, process skids,
structural weldments, gloveboxes and high-integrity nuclear material transportation packages.
The primary materials used for construction are stainless and alloy steels, carbon steel, and a
variety of nonmetallic materials including high density polyethylene plastics.
Modular Process Skids
The Pretreatment Engineering Platform (PEP) was built for the Prime contractor at the Hanford
site in Richland, Washington. The PEP is a modular process skid system designed to prove the
functionality of the Pretreatment System for the Waste Treatment Plant being built at Hanford
Washington. For this project, we built an engineering scale (approximately ¼ scale) version of
the Waste Treatment Plant’s pre-filtration system. The system consisted of various vessels,
pumps, tanks, piping, controls and instrumentation, and was placed on 16 skids. The components
were constructed from both stainless steel and carbon steel.

Structural Steel Beams and Trusses
ABOVE : Welded beams fabricated from plate met demanding tolerance requirements
EPD designed and fabricated custom roof beams for the National Enrichment Facility in Eunice,
NM. These beams were built up from plate and welded to meet exact dimensional requirements.
EPD laser leveled the plates to ensure straightness.
This work was accomplished in accordance with NQA-1 quality requirements, including
procurement of materials and performing commercial grade dedication. EPD designed
connections, prepared shop drawings, and fabricated and painted the product.
Structural Platforms, Railings
EPD has experience with the fabrication of
platforms, stairs and railings. EPD has
designed custom platforms, some including
mechanized and hydraulic components. We
offer a fast turnaround of these products
with fabrication in a quality focused
environment.
