Washington Department of Labor and Industry (Washington State OSHA) awarded Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) Star status to TDFC following a rigorous 3½-day audit that demonstrated the facility’s safety and practices reached the highest level of excellence in workplace health and safety. Designation as a VPP Star site is a testament to sustained excellence in all areas of safety and health management. Less than 20 fabrication facilities in the U.S. have received VPP status. We are one of only 1,337 companies in the U.S. and one of only 23 in the state of Washington to achieve VPP Star Status.

TDFC occupies more than 250,000 square feet of space. The facility houses a 15-ton crane and a complement of over 200 pieces of metal working and machining equipment including:

• Plasma arc cutting to 3 inches
• Milling to 72 inches
• Turning to 60 inches
• Plate rolling and shearing to 5/8th inch
• Pipe bending to 4 inches

We also offer CNC machining and a complete welding process. Measurement equipment consists of computer controlled coordinate measuring machines accurate to +/- 0.0002 inches using the latest in direct inspection software.

TDFC owns patents on processes and equipment. We are a leader in the fabrication of highly complex systems for disposal of explosive ordnance, nerve agents, and high-level radioactive waste, and we are the largest equipment supplier for the U.S. Army Chemical Weapons Demilitarization program.
