Industrial Fabrication

We engineer skids, pressure vessels and modular process plants for the shop floor and the site: process, mechanical, piping, electrical and control designed together, fabricated by specialist partners and tested before they ship.

The challenge

What makes these projects hard

Industrial projects succeed or fail on integration: of process, equipment, piping, instrumentation, electrical and structure

  1. Equipment engineered without manufacture and inspection in mind
  2. Packages from many vendors that do not fit together
  3. Site construction constrained by location, skills or schedule, structural and transport loads for modules considered too late
How we help

From concept to an executable project

From process design through fabrication and factory integration, we convert complex facilities into engineered, transportable and installation-ready systems

  • Industrial facility engineering and design
  • Process skids and packaged units; pressure vessels, tanks and exchangers for manufacture
  • Piping and process modules with structural frames; factory integration of equipment, piping, I&C and electrical
  • Custom-engineered equipment to international codes

Approach

How we deliver an industrial project

From requirement to installed equipment, with one team holding the interfaces together

01

Brief

Production targets, utilities, site conditions and constraints written into a requirements document everyone signs off

02

Design

Concept, process and layout fixed first, then detailed design with manufacture and transport considered from the beginning

03

Build

Vessels, skids and modules fabricated by our partners under inspection and test plans, with factory acceptance before shipment

04

Install

Delivery, installation and commissioning support, with as-built records and an operating and maintenance package

Outputs

Typical deliverables

  • Module and skid design packages; fabrication drawings and specifications
  • Inspection and test plans; factory acceptance records
  • Tender documents
  • Installation, construction supervision and commissioning support

Questions

Frequently asked

Ask an engineer
Why build in modules rather than on site?

Factory work is faster, safer and easier to inspect. Modules cut site hours, reduce dependence on local labour and let equipment, piping and controls be tested before shipment, which shortens commissioning

Who manufactures the equipment?

Our manufacturing partners fabricate under CAC-managed inspection and test plans. We hold the drawings, the specifications and the acceptance criteria, so design and workshop stay aligned

Can you take a project from concept to site?

Yes. We cover feasibility, engineering, procurement support, fabrication, installation supervision and commissioning, or any part of that chain if the client already has other parties in place

How do you handle multiple vendors?

By defining interfaces early, mechanical, electrical, controls and documentation, and by holding vendor data reviews against a single design basis, so packages fit together on site
