Founded in 1991, T BAILEY, INC. started out as a dream for independence and innovative growth. The past 30 years have seen T BAILEY, INC.一 named for Gene Tanaka’s daughter, Bailey 一 expand in business as a leader in innovation, quality, and safety.
Our expertise has been built from the ground up: now, we serve as general contractor, subcontractor, and supplier to customers from a wide range of industries, bringing innovation, diversification and quality to every fabrication and construction project.
T BAILEY, INC. From the 90s Until Now
With facilities now spanning 120,000 square feet and 25 acres, it is hard to believe T BAILEY, INC, INC. started out only doing field work. By waiting for just the right opportunities, Tanaka was able to join with Red Samm Construction for a five-year joint venture in contracting.
After this five years of consistent, high quality work, T BAILEY, INC had grown enough to venture out independently. Moving to Anacortes, T BAILEY, INC built their own facility in order to diversify, handle larger projects and better serve our customers’ needs. Tanaka’s passion for civil, marine, industrial, and building construction complemented his former partner’s, Darrell Lehmann, experience with fabrication and tank erection.
Customer satisfaction and innovation have been core business practices from T BAILEY, INC.’s inception. These values were integral to the expansion of services and our diversified business capabilities give us an edge over the competition.
How We Have Adapted and Diversified
One of our greatest strengths is the vertical integration of both fabrication and construction services and processes we provide in-house. Our business and team has grown naturally, driven by a desire to control quality and scheduling, providing only the best for customers.
Today, we are able to perform earthwork, underground utilities, concrete foundations, carpentry, mechanical work, field erect tanks, shop fabricate heavy steel products, and apply protective coatings. This is different to many other contractors who can only perform a fraction of these fabrication and construction processes.
An example of a revolutionary way we have helped innovate the industry is via the creation of tandem welding. Tandem welding was a completely new innovation that enabled us to vastly speed up our production process as it allows for multiple wires to be welded simultaneously.
Expanding Our Industries
The tandem welding process allowed for huge growth in many new areas: piling, casing, padding, penstock, etc. Having a wide range of construction and fabrication capabilities means we can offer more to customers. Another strength of T BAILEY, INC. is our ability to fully serve customers from the beginning of their project to the end.
Expanding our services from field work and small fabrication to now include design, construction, customization, etc. allows T BAILEY, INC. to promise more exact scheduling, pricing, and quality control compared to other businesses who may only be contractors or fabricators.
