USE CASES & APPLICATIONS

Fabrication and construction support services are essential for successful project execution throughout Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland, BC. We support projects ranging from small facility modifications to large-scale plant expansions. Our services help fabrication shops build piping spools efficiently and enable field crews to install systems without costly rework. We provide piping fabrication support and construction engineering support for industrial and process facilities across BC, including oil & gas, mining, pulp & paper, power generation, and chemical plants.

We work with fabrication shops and construction teams throughout British Columbia, providing the detailed information and field support needed to execute projects on schedule and within budget. Our construction support is particularly valuable when field conditions differ from design assumptions or when design modifications are needed during construction. Well-prepared fabrication packages reduce shop fabrication time, help maintain project schedules, and prevent costly rework.

PROCESS & WORKFLOW

We provide fabrication shops with detailed isometric drawings that include all dimensions, material specifications, and welding requirements. Our material lists enable accurate procurement and help prevent material shortages during fabrication. We coordinate with fabrication shops to answer questions and resolve issues before spools are built.

During field installation, we respond quickly to RFIs and conduct field reviews to verify installation matches design intent. We work with construction teams to resolve field conflicts and make necessary design adjustments. We document as-built conditions and update record drawings to reflect actual installations, providing accurate documentation for future maintenance and modifications.

Our fabrication packages include material specifications, welding requirements, and quality control checkpoints. We format information in ways that fabrication shops find easy to use, reducing interpretation errors and accelerating fabrication. Packages include welding procedures, quality control checkpoints, and shop-friendly formatting designed to enable efficient fabrication.

INDUSTRY STANDARDS & COMPLIANCE

Our fabrication packages comply with applicable welding codes including CSA W59 and AWS D1.1. All isometric drawings include all information required by fabrication shops and meet industry standards for dimensional accuracy and completeness. Our construction support maintains compliance with design codes, WorkSafeBC regulations, and client specifications throughout the construction process. Material specifications align with Canadian standards for availability and quality. As-built documentation provides reliable records for future maintenance and capital projects.
