Pipeline Welding and Fabrication
Shop and field fabrication by our own welders. The same company building your line builds the pieces that tie it together.
Fabrication is part of how we stay one contractor, flowline to facility. Our welding shop at our Midland yard builds headers, manifolds, spools and pipe supports, and our welding rigs build them in the field when the fit-up has to happen on site.
Our 22 certified welders are credentialed in the systems Permian operators require. We coordinate third-party X-ray and NDT to your inspection requirements, so the welds you get are the welds you specified.

WHERE WE WORK
We mobilize from our yard at 6101 E I-20 in Midland, Texas, and work exclusively in the Permian Basin: the Midland Basin and both the Texas and New Mexico sides of the Delaware Basin. This basin is all we do, so our crews already know its caliche, its rock, its lease roads and its operators' standards.
