Marine Fabrication

Custom Fabrication for CAT® Marine Engine and Generator Installations

Thompson Marine designs and fabricates custom integration packages in-house, covering mechanical, electrical, and control systems for Cat marine engines and Berg propulsion installations. Every package is engineered to the specific requirements of the vessel and the installation. Custom fabrication is completed in-house and when a job calls for outside expertise, Thompson manages the relationship with trusted custom fabrication partners from start to finish, providing customers with an end-to-end solution.

What Thompson Marine Fabricates

Thompson Marine’s fabrication capability covers the full range of components required to integrate and commissions marine and propulsion systems:

  • Custom pump packages designed and built to the specific requirements of the installation
  • Generator sets configured for the vessel’s power management needs
  • Hydraulic power packs engineered for propulsion and auxiliary system requirements
  • Compressor packages built to vessel specifications
  • Bases and mounts for engines, marine gears, and generators, fabricated to engine room footprint and structural requirements
  • Custom piping designed as part of the integration package

Fabrication for Repowers

Repower projects require re-engineering mechanical and electrical systems within the constraints of an existing vessel. Thompson Marine’s fabrication team works alongside the engineering team to design and build integration-ready packages that align with existing engine room structures, minimize the need for structural modification, and interface correctly with onboard equipment and yard practices.

Design Through Integration

Thompson Marine’s fabrication and engineering teams work as a single unit from initial design through installation and commissioning. Fabrication decisions are driven by engineering requirements, and every fabricated package is delivered with complete documentation, including wiring schematics and mechanical installation drawings specific to the project. That coordination means the vessel receives a purpose-built integration package, not a generic assembly adapted to fit.

Thompson Marine’s in-house fabrication capability covers the full range of components required to integrate and commission a CAT marine engine system. Fabricated products include custom pump packages, generator sets, hydraulic power packs, compressor packages, bases and mounts for engines and marine gears, and custom piping. Every package is engineered and built to the specific requirements of the vessel and the installation, with complete documentation delivered to the shipyard including engine room layouts, wiring schematics, and mechanical installation drawings.

Yes. Repower projects require re-engineering mechanical and electrical systems within the constraints of an existing vessel, and Thompson Marine’s fabrication team has the expertise to meet these challenges. Working alongside the engineering team, Thompson Marine designs and builds integration-ready packages that align with existing engine room structures, minimize structural modification, and interface correctly with onboard equipment and yard practices. The result is a purpose-built integration package rather than a generic assembly adapted to fit.
