Industrial projects demand contractors who can deliver technical expertise without compromising on safety or quality.
For more than three decades, US FUSION & Specialty Construction has met that challenge, earning a reputation as one of the nation’s premier industrial contractors. Founded in the late 1980s as a supplier of high-density polyethylene piping and fusion equipment, the company quickly expanded into installation and turnkey construction services. As industries evolved, US FUSION grew with them, adding specialized divisions in piping, fabrication, plastic lining and erosion control to better serve the energy, chemical and industrial markets.
This growth has been driven by a simple philosophy: investing in the right people, the right technology and the right facilities to deliver solutions customers can rely on. That same philosophy led US FUSION to explore the niche market of industrial rubber linings. In 2021, the company performed its first rubber installation at the Savannah River Nuclear Site in Aiken, South Carolina. What began as a focused service offering quickly demonstrated its value. Over the next two years, US FUSION successfully executed multiple complex projects, proving its ability to deliver the same level of quality in rubber applications that it had long delivered in piping and construction.
Recognizing the opportunity to better serve its customers and expand its reach, US FUSION formally launched US RUBBER & Specialty Applications as a standalone division in 2023. Since then, US RUBBER has grown into one of the largest rubber lining contractors in the U.S., serving customers from coast to coast.
Anchored by a state-of-the-art facility in Hammond, Louisiana, US RUBBER is equipped with an autoclave, boiler, blasting operations and chilled material storage — providing the infrastructure to handle projects of all sizes. The shop is fully integrated, capable of stripping rubber, completing metal repairs, relining tanks and vessels and applying internal and external coatings all in one location. These services extend beyond tanks and vessels to include piping, specialty items and DOT tanker vehicles, offering customers a comprehensive solution that minimizes downtime and maximizes value.
In the field, US RUBBER has earned recognition for tackling some of the most challenging projects in the petrochemical industry. The division specializes in stripping and relining existing tanks, utilizing multiple removal techniques such as advanced robotics and ultra-high-pressure water blasting to safely and efficiently complete work. By combining traditional expertise with cutting-edge technology, US RUBBER delivers precise, long-lasting results that extend the life of critical assets.
What truly sets US RUBBER apart is the culture behind the work. Every project is approached with a focus on quality and safety, values that are deeply ingrained in US FUSION’s DNA. This commitment ensures customers receive solutions that are not only reliable but also executed with the highest regard for workers and environmental safety.
As US RUBBER continues to grow, the mission remains clear: to set the standard in industrial rubber lining by combining a safety-first culture, highly skilled crews and best-in-class facilities. Backed by the history and resources of US FUSION, US RUBBER is well-positioned to remain a trusted partner for the energy, chemical and industrial sectors across the Gulf Coast and beyond.
