40 Years of Specialized Mechanical Fabrication

Since 1985, Inland Mechanical has delivered ASME-coded fabrication and nuclear-grade systems for the nation’s most demanding industries. What began as specialized pressure vessel fabrication has evolved into full-service mechanical contracting serving nuclear, energy, aerospace, chemical, and industrial clients nationwide.

Projects

Founded on Precision (1985-1995)

Inland Mechanical was founded in Richland, Washington in 1985 to serve the nuclear and energy industries requiring precision fabrication and code compliance. Our early work focused on custom pressure vessels and specialized piping systems for DOE facilities and industrial clients.

Building Expertise (1995-2010)

Through the 1990s and 2000s, we expanded our certifications, adding ASME stamps and developing our NQA-1 nuclear quality assurance program. This enabled deeper involvement in commercial nuclear power, DOE projects, and high-specification industrial work. Our reputation for handling complex, one-off fabrication grew as we solved challenges larger contractors couldn’t accommodate and smaller shops couldn’t certify.

Growth into Full-Service Contracting (2010-Present)

The last decade brought strategic expansion into CNC machining, aerospace work, and expanded field services. Today, we deliver complete mechanical contracting— from engineering support through fabrication, testing, and installation—while maintaining the specialized, responsive approach that built our reputation.

What Sets Us Apart

Rare Certifications

Inland Mechanical is one of few nationwide contractors holding both ASME U/R/PP stamps and NQA-1 nuclear quality assurance certification. This combination enables work others can't legally perform—from DOE facilities to commercial nuclear plants to aerospace manufacturers.

Specialized, One-Off Fabrication

We don't chase commodity work. Our expertise is complex, custom projects requiring exotic materials, tight tolerances, and demanding documentation. When standard solutions don't exist, we engineer and fabricate what's needed.

Complete In-House Control

From design support to final testing, we control every step. This integration ensures quality, protects schedules, and eliminates finger-pointing between design, fabrication, and installation.

Nationwide Service, Specialized Response

We're large enough to handle significant projects and small enough to respond quickly. Our field crews mobilize nationwide for installations, shutdowns, and emergency repairs.

40-Year Track Record

Four decades of continuous operation. Repeat clients. Mission-critical work for DOE, nuclear utilities, and aerospace. We've earned trust through performance.
