Inside our fabrication shops, we’re working on your project long before it’s our turn on your job site.
Here, our 100+ team of professionals build:
- Miles of piping – as wide as 6 feet in diameter and as narrow as ¼ inch – in carbon steel, stainless steel and copper
- Plumbing batteries and assemblies out of PVC, CPVC, HDPE, ductile or cast iron
- Multi-trade racks that incorporate electrical and controls systems
- Other components and systems, including central energy plant modules, medical gas assemblies and pump skids
To construct systems for high-purity environments, we have a separate Class 1000 clean room, where we fabricate stainless steel hygienic piping.
Nearly five decades of operation taught us how to optimize fabrication.
Our shops are next-generation environments. We designed and built them with safety and efficiency foremost in mind.
Here’s how we work:
- After consulting with stakeholders in pre-construction, our design team and engineers develop shop drawings and plans. They use state-of-the-art VDC technology.
- Fabrication is performed in a stationed environment – we have 200,000 square feet of space, with ceilings up to 35 feet high. Each station is ergonomically optimized; for example, professionals can sit or stand to weld.
- A pair of Panasonic robots helps with repeatable welds, adding agility and speed to tight project schedules.
- Each task is captured by tagging every component with a bar code, thus providing a precise record of who, what and when.
- On-site quality control professionals inspect each component and system before it leaves the fabrication shop.
- After inspection, systems and modules are loaded onto flatbed trucks. Our shops have multiple entrances for truck loading and departure.
