A fabrication system (100) for the manufacture of a support frame (10) for a pressure vessel (12). The support frame (10) is fabricated from a plurality of sub-elements (202, 204). The fabrication system comprises a jig assembly (300), a clamping system (400) mounted on the jig assembly (300) and the jig assembly (300) being rotatably mounted about a rotation axis (302), and extending out radially from the rotation axis (302) to an outer edge (304). A plurality of workstations (600, 602, 604) are arranged around the outer edge (304) of the jig assembly (300), located and configured to perform operations on the sub-elements (202, 204). The plurality of workstations (600, 602, 604) are mounted in a fixed position, the jig assembly (300) being rotatable about the rotation axis (302) relative to the workstations (600, 602, 604).
