advanced piping products projects

Projects

From turnarounds to multi-billion dollar expansions, our products protect piping systems in small inland facilities to the floating mega-structures in the world’s deepest oceans. 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.
