Subsequently, the company set up a full fabrication, design, and engineering operation in Le Brea, that was further developed into an ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) code shop. “We do ASME-coded vessel fabrication, design, and manufacturing and we’re an ASME and NBIC (Na- tional Board Inspection Code) vessel repair facility,” he says. (The NBIC provides standards for the installation, inspection, and repair and/or alteration of boilers, pressure vessels, and pressure relief devices.)
