New CNC Burn Table Expands Fabrication Capabilities

---

Hurst Construction & Fabrication has recently expanded its fabrication capabilities with the addition of a 10’ x 20’ Alltra CNC burn table, equipped with a Hypertherm XPR460 VWI plasma system and contour bevel station.

This advanced system allows for high-definition plasma cutting of steel up to 5 inches thick, improving precision, efficiency, and consistency across complex fabrication projects. The new burn table strengthens our ability to support industrial piping, structural steel, and heavy plate fabrication for demanding applications.

This investment reflects our continued commitment to quality, technology, and in-house control of critical fabrication processes.

Hurst Construction & Fabrication has also added a Faccin 10’ four-roll planetary CNC bending roll machine to its fabrication shop.

With the ability to roll material up to 1 inch thick, this equipment enhances our capacity to produce accurate, repeatable rolled components for pressure vessels, tanks, and custom industrial fabrication. The four-roll design allows for greater control and tighter tolerances, reducing rework and improving overall efficiency.

This addition further strengthens our ASME-certified fabrication capabilities and supports larger, more complex project requirements.

To complement recent equipment additions, Hurst Construction & Fabrication has expanded its shop capabilities with new hydraulic forming and cutting equipment, including a Cincinnati 230PF+10 press brake and a 14’ hydraulic shear with 3/8” thickness capacity.

• 200-ton hydraulic press brake
• 14’ hydraulic shear with 3/8” thickness capacity
   

These upgrades improve material handling efficiency, accuracy, and production flow, allowing our fabrication team to meet tighter schedules while maintaining the high standards our clients expect.

Hurst Construction & Fabrication has completed a significant expansion of its fabrication facilities, further strengthening its ability to support large-scale industrial fabrication and complex project requirements.

The new addition measures 140 feet wide by 175 feet long, with 35-foot eave heights, adding 25,500 square feet of fabrication space. This expansion brings Hurst Construction & Fabrication’s total combined shop space to approximately 70,000 square feet, allowing for increased throughput, improved workflow, and greater flexibility for large and heavy fabrication projects.

The expanded building is configured into two 70-foot-wide fabrication bays, designed to support a wide range of fabrication and assembly activities. One bay is equipped with two 20-ton overhead cranes featuring 25-foot hook heights, providing the lifting capacity required for heavy plate work, pressure vessel fabrication, and large assemblies. The second bay includes two 10-ton overhead cranes, also with 25-foot hook heights, supporting efficient material handling and fabrication operations across multiple workstations.

To further enhance material flow and accessibility, the addition is outfitted with hydraulic hangar doors, including two 24-foot-wide doors and two 20-foot-wide doors, allowing for efficient movement of oversized materials, assemblies, and finished components in and out of the shop.

This expansion complements recent investments in advanced fabrication equipment, including CNC cutting, rolling, and forming systems, and reflects Hurst Construction & Fabrication’s continued commitment to in-house capability, quality control, and long-term investment in infrastructure. The added space and lifting capacity position the company to better support industrial fabrication, ASME pressure vessel work, and large-scale projects with demanding schedules and technical requirements.
