We begin by working hand-in-hand with major end users and EPCs during the FEED stage of a project to ensure that our products are incorporated into the design and engineering specifications. Next, we endeavor to train the general contractor and all subcontractors on the proper installation and inspection of our products through hands-on seminars and field certifications. Our project management team is present through commissioning, completion and beyond. We are fully vested in the success of our customer’s projects. - View All Projects - or Choose a project category from the list… Cold/Cryogenic Service Marine Midstream Petrochemical Refining Solar - [Cold/Cryogenic Service](https://www.appmfg.com/ColdCryogenicService?hsLang=en) | Client/Project Name | Location | Description |   | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ABENCS/Abengoa Ethanol Production | Indiana/Illinois | APP supplied ProTek Pipe Shoes for two Abengoa Ethanol plants, one located in Illinois and the other in Indiana.
