What is industrial boilermaking and what types are there?

Industrial boilermaking is the branch of the metallurgical industry dedicated to the manufacture of metal parts, structures, and assemblies through processes such as cutting, bending, welding, and machining. These solutions are commonly used in sectors such as energy, heavy industry, mechanical engineering, industrial machinery manufacturing, and large production facilities, where robust, reliable components manufactured under very specific technical specifications are required.

 

Within industrial boilermaking, there are different types depending on material thickness, part dimensions, and final application. Light boilermaking mainly works with thin sheets and smaller components, while medium and heavy boilermaking focus on the manufacture of more robust and complex structures. Heavy boilermaking and large-component fabrication, in turn, are aimed at producing high-tonnage parts with large thicknesses and dimensions, typically manufactured according to technical drawings and subject to stringent technical, regulatory, and quality control requirements.

 

At GMN, industrial boilermaking and large-component projects are developed and tailored to the specific needs of each client and sector. With more than three decades of experience, the company combines expertise in boilermaking with advanced machining processes, mechanical assemblies, and industrial finishing, offering comprehensive solutions ranging from the manufacture of metal structures to their final integration into demanding industrial environments.
