Industrial process piping installation inside a manufacturing facility

Home / Services

Piping & Specialized Mechanical

ASME-stamped pressure piping and mechanical installation inside operating facilities, where a mistake shuts down production and a schedule slip has real cost attached to it.

Service 05

What's included

Pressure piping work inside a live refinery or process unit does not get a second attempt. Our crews hold the ASME A and PP stamps and the NBIC R stamp specifically because this scope demands documentation and code compliance that cannot be waved off after the fact, and because owners need to know the crew standing inside their operating unit is cleared to be there.

  • ASME PP-stamped pressure piping fabrication and assembly
  • ASME A-stamped power boiler assembly
  • NBIC R-stamped repair and alteration of pressure-retaining items
  • Process piping installation during live plant operation

How It Works

Our process for this scope

Step 1

Isometric Review & Fabrication Planning

Drawings reviewed against ASME code requirements before a single spool is cut.

Step 2

Shop Fabrication Under ASME PP

Spools fabricated in our Superior shop to code, not adjusted for it in the field.

Step 3

Field Installation & Tie-Ins

Crews cleared for live-plant work install and tie in with production schedules in mind.

Step 4

Hydro Test & NBIC Documentation

Every pressure system tested and documented to the standard your engineering team can sign off on.

A full refinery rebuild inside a live facility, where ASME-stamped piping crews worked to a schedule set by the refinery's own operating requirements, not the other way around.
