Shop Fabrication
Pipe Fabrication for Plants, Contractors, and Data Centers.
Large Industrial and Data Center schedules are won or lost on pipe. Prefabricating Spools in a controlled shop takes weld hours out of the field, keeps quality consistent, and lets your crews install instead of fabricate. We build to your drawings and ship to your site, anywhere in the country.
Process Spools
Carbon and Stainless Steel Spools, Headers and Manifolds built to your isometrics.
Hot & Chilled Water
Plant and Building Water Piping, prefabricated and tagged for install.
Equipment Skids
Pump and Equipment Skids that arrive piped and ready to set.
Structural Steel Assemblies
Platforms, Frames and Miscellaneous Steel built from engineered details.
Steel Support Structures
Pipe Supports, Racks and Equipment Stands built to carry the load.
Railings
Handrail, Guardrail and Stair Rail for Platforms, Stairs and Mezzanines.
In the Fab Business Since the 1960s
From Balco's original Sheet Metal Shop to the old EMCO Pipe Shop to today's Birmingham Fab Shop, building it in-house and in the field is how we have always worked.
