Fabrication

In-house fabrication for faster schedules and better control

When water and wastewater infrastructure is on the clock, fabrication delays and fit-up issues can derail your schedule and the quality of your system. Systems Group Inc. provides in-house process piping and structural steel fabrication to support lift stations, pump stations, water treatment facilities, and municipal irrigation pumping systems.

When we fabricate critical components in our shop, we reduce site coordination, improve quality control, and accelerate installation—especially on projects with tight timelines or challenging conditions.

What We Fabricate

Process Piping Fabrication

We fabricate process piping systems that support reliable pumping and treatment operations, including:

  • Pump station and lift station piping assemblies
  • Valve manifolds and piping spools
  • Suction and discharge headers
  • Bypass piping and isolation piping
  • Equipment tie-ins and connection assemblies
  • Custom pipe supports and brackets
  • Piping modifications for upgrades and optimization work

Prefabricated piping assemblies reduce on-site welding and fit-up, improve consistency, and speed up mechanical completion.

Structural Steel Fabrication

We fabricate structural steel components that improve access, safety, and equipment support, including:

  • Equipment supports and frames
  • Platforms, stairs, and handrails
  • Mounting systems for pumps, piping, and mechanical equipment
  • Building structural components (as required for prefabricated buildings)
  • Retrofit steel for upgrades and repairs
  • Custom brackets, skids, and structural assemblies

Proper structural fabrication improves maintainability, access, and long-term serviceability, and reduces field changes.

How Fabrication Fits
Into Our Delivery Methods

Design-Build Projects

  • Design and detailing: fabrication begins while site work is underway
  • Components arrive ready to install: reduced on-site build time
  • Faster mechanical completion: earlier commissioning

Bid-Build Projects

  • Review drawings and specs: build spools/components to match requirements
  • Better fit and fewer field surprises: fewer delays and change-driven rework

Maintenance, Repair, and Upgrades

  • Custom replacement spools and supports built quickly
  • Retrofit components fabricated to suit site constraints
  • Reduced downtime when critical systems need fast turnaround

In-House Fabrication
Makes a Big Impact on Your Project

Better Schedule Control

Shop fabrication reduces dependence on multiple third parties and helps prevent material and coordination delays. It also allows parallel progress: site work can continue while fabrication is underway.

Better Fit And Fewer Field Changes

Prefabricated spools and assemblies mean cleaner installs, fewer improvised field fixes, and smoother commissioning.

Stronger Quality Control

Fabrication in a controlled environment improves consistency and lets us verify details before components ever hit the site.

Practical, Maintainable Solutions

We build, we fabricate and install with long-term maintenance in mind, because access, serviceability, and reliability matter.
