Strength. Reliability. Excellence.

From massive infrastructure to mission-critical industrial builds, we deliver precision fabrication with unwavering quality. Backed by decades of experience, a purpose-built facility, and a hands-on approach, we’re built to take on whatever your project demands.

Built on strength, fueled by passion, and proven by time. We’re creating tomorrow’s infrastructure today.

Marine

From the North Slope of Alaska to Hawaii and along the West Coast, TMF is a trusted fabricator of marine infrastructure. Our Columbia River location supports efficient delivery of fenders, dolphins, pile caps, wharfs, ferry terminals, and structures for the Navy, Coast Guard, and Port authorities, even in remote locations.

Bridges

Bridge fabrication and retrofits have been core to our work for decades. A multi-time AISC/NSBA Prize Bridge Award winner, we handle everything from complex long spans to architecturally driven pedestrian crossings. As a Veteran-Owned Small Business, we’re a proven partner for federally funded and WSDOT bridge projects.

Hydro

We support hydroelectric infrastructure across the U.S., delivering cost-effective, high-precision components for dams and water control systems. Our experience includes radial and tainter gates, stoplogs, miter gates, and more, always backed by quality, innovation, and value engineering.

Tanks & Vessels

We engineer and fabricate tanks and pressure vessels of all shapes and sizes, including those requiring exotic or cladded materials. From nuclear to oil to silicon, clients rely on our expertise and collaborative approaches, especially when barge delivery or complex specs are in play.

Modular

With over 50 years of modular fabrication experience, we deliver turnkey assemblies that reduce field work, shorten schedules, and mitigate risk. We collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and transport partners to build efficiently, indoors and out.

Structural

When standard won’t cut it, TMF steps in. We handle complex, heavy, and custom structural steel, fracture-critical, seismic, AESS, cambered, curved, machined, and more. We’re a reliable partner for mega-projects that demand capacity, precision, and experience.

Renewables

Our experience with complex fabrication and turnkey delivery is well-suited to the evolving renewables sector. We support wave, tidal, and offshore wind infrastructure, including anchors and mooring systems, with a focus on standardization, throughput, and future-forward solutions.

Oil & Gas

From upstream modules to downstream process skids, we support the oil and gas industry with large-scale steel fabrication and modular assembly. Our team delivers high-tolerance structures and integrated systems with a focus on quality, schedule, and safety, whether onshore, offshore, or in the Arctic.

About Us

We are the men and women of steel—and our work speaks for itself. From the span of the Bay Bridge to the rise of the OHSU tram, from the scale of Columbia River dams to the depths of Arctic drilling rigs, our craftsmanship supports the backbone of American infrastructure.

With skill, precision, and pride, we build what others can’t.
We are Thompson Metal Fab, committed to strength, reliability, and excellence in every project.
