Traditionally many pipeline, refinery, power and industrial process piping projects are fabricated completely on-site. We offer a reliable and cost-effective alternative to this traditional mindset by completing portions of the fabrication in our facility and then shipping to the worksite, where they can easily be fitted together and installed. Our shop fabrication offers many significant advantages that are not possible with field fabrication:
No Weather Delays
Fabrication and coating is not impacted by weather conditions that can shut down field activities, allowing for continuous work on projects.
Improved Quality
The shop-controlled environment offers stable resources and reliable working conditions that lead to improved efficiency, quality, consistency, and complete quality control documentation adhering to applicable codes, national standards and client specifications.
Lower Costs
Productivity and reliability are greatly enhanced with shop fabrication when compared to field fabrication. The result is lower overall costs and a larger quantity of piping produced in the same amount of time.
Safety
The rigorous testing and overall controllability of the work environment leads to improved safety for fabricated piping and other fabricated assemblies. Lowered work-related incidents.
