From our Bridgend (South Wales, UK) facility we design and manufacture pressure vessels and pressurised columns for the petroleum, nuclear power, water and petrochemical industries, as well as a variety of shop-built carbon steel and stainless steel storage tanks and drums.
The UK’s critical infrastructure depends on engineered systems that operate reliably, continuously, and safely under demanding conditions. From nuclear power generation and water treatment to energy production and utilities, pressure vessels play a fundamental role in enabling these systems to function as intended.Pressure vessel manufacturing is not a peripheral activity in this context – it…
In safety-critical industries, pressure vessels are not simply fabricated components – they are engineered containment systems designed to operate under sustained internal pressure, thermal cycling, and, in many cases, aggressive process conditions. The integrity of these systems depends heavily on one factor above all others: precision welding and controlled fabrication. For regulated sectors such as…

In regulated industries, precision is paramount. Whether producing cryogenic vessels for medical imaging, fabricating components for clean-energy systems, or delivering pressure-rated assemblies, each weld and every process stage must meet demanding standards of consistency and performance. Automation and robotics now play a central role in achieving this level of reliability. At LTi Vessco, our Bridgend-based…
Welding is at the heart of every pressure vessel. It’s where safety, strength and precision come together — and where even the smallest detail matters. At LTi Vessco, based in South Wales, UK, we combine technical expertise with rigorous quality assurance to ensure every welded joint meets the highest industry standards for performance, reliability and…
Across the UK, water treatment plants rely on vessels to keep systems running safely and efficiently. Whether it’s a filter housing, a chemical dosing tank or a pressure vessel, the decision often comes down to one question: should you opt for a standard design or commission a custom build? At first glance, the choice might…
Pressure vessel fabrication is an energy-intensive process. From raw material extraction to welding, finishing, and logistics, every stage contributes to carbon emissions. In an era of tightening regulations, growing ESG expectations, and the UK’s legally binding net-zero targets, the industry faces a clear challenge: how to deliver high-integrity vessels while reducing environmental impact. Where the…
As a UK-based manufacturer of pressure equipment, compliance with the Pressure Equipment Regulations (PER) 2016 is not just a legal requirement; it’s essential for safe, reliable operations and market access across Great Britain. In this guide, we’ll unpack the key obligations under PER 2016 and highlight how LTi Vessco can support you at every stage,…

Following its acquisition and integration into precision fabrication and welding group LTi Metaltech, Vessco Engineering Ltd has today officially rebranded as LTi Vessco. Present at the launch of the new brand at the company’s 45,000 sq ft manufacturing plant on the Bridgend Industrial Estate was the High Sheriff of Mid Glamorgan, Dr Richard Lewis MBE…
Used in many different industries, a heat exchanger is a piece of equipment that moves heat between liquids and gases in separate containers, without them coming into contact. It uses cold water or air to remove heat from one space to another. Here at Vessco Engineering, we manufacture and supply custom-built heat exchangers for our…
