BA Enterprises | Company Info

We are a small fabrication shop located in Mora, MN that specializes in stainless steel fabrication of manways for the pulp & papermaking industry and wastewater treatment plant industry. 

Over a decade ago we acquired the manway segment from the reputable industrial firm Gorham Oien Mechanical. In order to specialize in a certain area we narrowed our services down to manways and stainless steel fabrication. Mostly we make manways for tanks and tile chests used in the papermill industry. Our manways provide access to the inside of the tank or chests for purpose of repairing or replacing corroded parts. Because our manway access covers are made from quality stainless steel they last a long time. We often replace manways made from carbon steel to stainless steel. 

Our standard sizes of manways are 30", 36", 42", 54". Individual parts or complete manway assemblies can be ordered and shipped in a week or two as we keep the materials on hand.  

Being a small stainless-steel fab shop means if there is a tile chest that may just need some small repair and we find out more is needed, we can make the parts and ship quickly. We have worked in the field as well and have experience with down time, so we know how important this is!

Other products we make for use with tile chests and tanks are the overflow pipes and fill pipes in any diameter specified. We make brackets and ladder rungs, or anything requested.

Although we focus on manways for the papermill and wastewater industries we are capable and have the equipment and the knowledge to make just about anything imaginable. We do many custom fabrication jobs made to order. We are capable of estimating off of blueprints and fabricating your stainless steel project to your specifications.  

    Quality products

The stainless materials we use are carefully sourced to ensure that you're getting a quality product. Our standard manway frames come with ASME flanged and dished heads. We don't skimp on materials so each one of our hand-built parts are dependable.
