Albina Pipe Bending Co., Inc. has been a union shop since its inception in 1939. We proudly employ union workers from the Local 290 Plumbers and Steamfitters Union and the Local 516 Iron Workers Union.
                                                   


Albina recently bent and fabricated complete 5 serpentine coils out of 3/4" SCH40 SA106B SMLS material. The material was bent to a 5.813” center to center diameter. The fabricated components were pressure tested by our Journeyman Steamfitters to 100 psi.

Below is a picture of the final installation of the "Continuum Globe Project" for a Business Park in Arizona. The project was designed by Trademark Visual. Albina bent TS 12" x 8" x .375", TS 12" x 8" x .625" wall, 4" Sch40 pipe and various lengths of 1" plate for the custom sign. This picture was taken just before the final seal coat was applied to the "rusted" cradle portion. The steel erectors said that the components fit together nicely with no problems.

Albina is bending 550,000# of W14 x 159#, W14 x 120# and W24 x 94# the Hard-Way for the new University of Alaska Anchorage Sports Arena.

We are currently bending 208,440# of W14 and W16 wide flange the hard way to various configurations. All material is shipping via. dedicated flatbed to Arizona.
