Industrial facilities often need careful planning for process piping projects long before installation begins. From coordinating layouts to fabricating piping systems that meet project requirements, completing more of the work before materials reach the job site can help create a smoother installation process.
At Jergens, our team specializes in pre-fabrication for process piping systems, combining in-house fabrication capabilities with BIM/CAD layout and design. By providing as-built piping spools that arrive at the site ready for installation, we help customers move projects forward efficiently while maintaining quality throughout the process.
Planning with BIM/CAD Layout Capabilities
Successful pre-fabrication starts with accurate planning. Jergens utilizes BIM/CAD layout capabilities to help coordinate process piping systems before fabrication and installation begin.
By planning piping layouts ahead of time, our team can account for how piping will fit within the facility and coordinate the different components needed for the project. This lets fabrication proceed with the final installation in mind.
Our design and fabrication capabilities also work together, allowing Jergens to take a project from layout through fabrication rather than treating each stage as a separate process.
Pre-Fabricating Process Piping in Our Shop
Once the layout is established, we can fabricate piping in our shop before it reaches the job site.
Jergens specializes in pre-fabricating process piping systems and can provide as-built piping spools to the site, ready for installation. Completing this work in a controlled shop environment allows our team to prepare piping assemblies before they are needed in the field.
With in-house fabrication capabilities, our team can coordinate the piping, fabrication, and project requirements under one roof. This reduces the amount of fabrication that must take place at the job site and lets installation teams focus on putting the system into place.
The Benefits of Pre-Fabricating Process Piping
Pre-fabrication can provide several advantages for industrial projects. By completing piping fabrication before materials arrive on site, teams can coordinate more work ahead of installation.
This approach can help reduce field fabrication, improve project coordination, and make installation more efficient. It can also be particularly valuable for facilities where available space, production schedules, and site conditions need to be considered throughout the project.
For customers, the goal is a process piping system that arrives ready for installation and meets the project’s requirements.
Certifications and Testing Capabilities
Quality assurance and testing are important parts of the pre-fabrication process. Jergens has the certifications, inspection capabilities, and testing resources to complete these steps right in our fabrication shop.
Our capabilities include:
- ASME Section IX certified welders
- ASME U, R, and PP Stamps
- In-house air and hydro pressure testing stations
- In-house Certified Weld Inspectors
- In-house Mechanical Integrity Inspectors
- Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC), including inspection and weld documentation to ensure a complete and accurate turnover package
By handling these processes in-house, Jergens can help ensure pre-fabrication meets the highest standards and reduce the potential for issues during installation or at the end of the project.
Supporting Pharmaceutical, Chemical, and Data Center Projects
Jergens already performs significant work for pharmaceutical, chemical, and data center projects throughout the Midwest. These industries can require specialized process piping systems designed and fabricated around the specific needs of the facility and project.
Depending on project needs, Jergens works with a variety of piping materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, Hastelloy, Teflon-lined piping, and Niron polypropylene.
Our combination of BIM/CAD layout, in-house fabrication, testing, inspection, and process piping experience allows our team to support complex industrial projects from planning and fabrication through installation.
Process Piping Solutions from Jergens
Pre-fabrication is about more than building piping before it reaches the job site. It requires planning, coordination, fabrication, quality control, and an understanding of how the completed system will ultimately be installed.
With BIM/CAD layout capabilities, in-house fabrication, as-built piping spools, testing and inspection capabilities, and experience across pharmaceutical, chemical, and data center projects, Jergens can provide process piping solutions designed to keep projects moving.
From projects throughout Michigan and across the Midwest to work nationwide, Jergens has the experience and capabilities to support industrial piping projects from fabrication through installation.nPlanning an upcoming process piping project?
