Piping
Systems
Industrial piping
systems can be found in power generating
stations, industrial and institutional
plants, in chemical, food, pharmaceutical,
textile, paper, semiconductor and
cryogenic plants, and related processing
facilities and terminals. Since 1986,
Specialty Welding, Inc. has provided pipe
fabrication, installation and repair
services for manufacturing and processing
plants in Eastern Washington. Most of
our customers are repeat-business clients
who consider SWI a
preferred resource. Each year they rely on
us for modifications, maintenance or
repairs to piping and other mechanical
systems. Our customers include farms and
dairies, chemical producers, food
processors and industrial manufacturers.
The piping system shown to the left is
part of a project completed by SWI for
Norco, in Moses Lake. This cryogenic
fluids system is a key part of their gas
separation plant, which produces oxygen,
nitrogen and argon from ambient air. This
plant provides gases used by industrial
and commercial customers in eastern
Washington.
Another major component of this facility,
called a Cold Box, is shown to the right
as it was being erected by Specialty
Welding, Inc. Below is a photo of the 125'
unit being fabricated horizontally in our
shop.  For more

in fabricating and constructing this
project, click here. Do you

Our work with piping systems includes both
fabrication and installation. We are
authorized by the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers for code work as
detailed in ASME Codes for Pressure Piping
B31.1 and B31.3. We also handle non-code
piping systems, working to
the applicable levels of quality control
as specified by engineering. Our ASME
R-Stamp authorizes us to perform repairs,
alterations and installation of pressure
vessels. They include boilers, pressurized
process vessels, heat exchangers and
storage tanks. Click

pressure vessel work.
The next two pictures shown below were
taken during a heat
exchanger installation project for Air
Liquide at REC Silicon's production
facility in Moses Lake. Air Liquide
produces hydrogen for REC Silicon, with
multiple
on-site production units, which supply
separate processing units within the
facility. Our company has performed dozens
of pipe installations and repair projects
over
the years for Air Liquide at
this site.
Generally, changes to piping systems can
be brought about by various causes, such
as changes in production requirements,
construction of plant expansions or the
occurrence of system failures. In the
event that leaks or degradation of
materials are found, piping may be
replaced, or upgraded to different
configurations, materials, supports or
other features.
We are accustomed to working in active
plants where tough safety procedures are
required. Lockout-Tagout and Confined
Space Entry procedures are good examples.
Where the risk of exposure to hazardous
substances exists, personal protective
equipment and work area control procedures
may be implemented. Our crews are trained
and qualified to handle the hazardous and
difficult work for which most contractors
just aren't qualified. We have extensive
experience in a variety of industrial
processing environments.
Our certification with ISNetworld
speaks volumes about the safe,
professional manner in which we manage and
execute our work. We understand the
importance of keeping
your plant in optimal production, and we
know what to expect when performing repair
and maintenance services for maufacturing
and processing facilities. More so than
with commercial construction, industrial
work must be tightly controlled. Specialty
Welding, Inc. provides a high level of
quality to the table. We are committed to
the safe and timely completion of every
project.
Specialty Welding, Inc.'s fleet of
company-owned equipment includes boom
trucks, carry-deck cranes, forklifts and
manlifts, plus a host of other equipment
and tools. We seldom need to wait for
rental equipment to become available. That
can result in faster mobilization for
emergency repairs. In the event of an
unexpected problem at your plant, we will
do our best to provide quick-response
emergency crews to begin repairs. If
necessary, we can provide a multiple-shift
work force to accelerate completion of the
work.
If you are planning changes, or your plant
piping systems are in need of repairs,
please contact
us in advance, if possible. Adequate
lead time enables us to do a better job.
Advance planning and access to complete
technical information always makes a
project run more smoothly. Our goal is to
provide optimal performance with minimal
problems or delays. Leave the tough piping
jobs to us. Contact Specialty Welding,
Inc. for your upcoming plant piping
changes, repairs and upgrades. You may
