R-Stamp Certified in North Carolina, South Carolina & Georgia

At Southeast Fleet Services, our R-Stamp certification gives us the authority to perform welded repairs and alterations on ASME-code pressure vessels, including cargo tanks used to haul hazardous materials. That lets us repair, modify, and restore them to full DOT compliance in-house.

What Is R-Stamp Certification?

The R-Stamp is issued by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors. It authorizes qualified facilities to carry out repairs and alterations on pressure-retaining items, such as cargo tanks, vacuum tanks, and other DOT-regulated trailers that require certified welding and documentation.

In simple terms, we’re certified to weld and repair critical components of your hazmat cargo tanks safely and legally.

What Services Can We Provide with Our R-Stamp?

Thanks to our R-Stamp certification, our team is equipped to provide a full range of services that many repair facilities cannot offer, including:

  • Weld repairs on cargo tanks, including shells, heads, and nozzles
  • Structural modifications to tanks and piping systems
  • Tank replacements or custom rebuilds
  • Reinforcement of worn or damaged areas
  • Code-compliant documentation and testing after repairs
  • Complete HM-183 inspections and R-Stamp repairs in one location
  • In addition to standard tank repairs, our certification allows us to:
  • Weld pits or cracks inside the tanker barrel
  • Replace entire sections of the tank shell
  • Add new vent locations or auxiliary piping
  • Perform structural repairs that most non-certified shops must turn away

All repairs are completed by our team of certified technicians in full compliance with ASME and DOT standards, with proper documentation, welder certifications, and third-party authorized inspector sign-off where required.

Why R-Stamp Certification Matters for You

It Lowers Liability Risk

Hazmat tankers carry pressurized acids, flammables, and corrosives. If a repair fails due to poor workmanship, the consequences can be catastrophic. R-Stamp certification ensures that every repair follows federally mandated quality procedures, reducing liability exposure for your business.

Preferred by Major Fleets

Most carriers and leasing companies prefer to work only with certified shops. Being R-Stamp certified allows us to serve these clients without restriction, providing full-service repair, inspection, and structural work under one roof.

Working with an R-Stamp certified facility also means:

  • You avoid delays from outsourcing to third-party welders
  • All repairs meet DOT and ASME code requirements
  • Repairs are performed by certified, experienced welders
  • Inspections and repairs are completed in one place
  • Your tank is restored safely, legally, and ready for service

We are one of the few facilities in the region authorized to perform this level of tank repair. That means faster turnarounds, a guarantee of quality work, and an adherence to DOT, state, federal, and industry-specific regulatory standards.

Mirza

"Being the Director of Maintenance with Hilco Transport I can tell you that these guys do a very professional job from start to finish. We had a wrecked cargo tank that needed a good bit of work. Brian Brewer in the shop walked us through the repairs needed going over the tank, providing an estimate for the repairs and kept us informed througout the repair process. Once the tank was complete our in-house tank techs reviwed and were happily impressed. That being said, we have taken them additional work including a cargo tank refurb job. Check these guys out! You will not be let down!"
