What is Rapid Response emergency fabrication?
When your organization faces an unexpected outage, encounters a critical issue during planned maintenance, or must halt operations until equipment is repaired or replaced, standard fabrication processes and services won’t do.
With Enerfab’s Rapid Response Fabrication service on critical process equipment, we minimize downtime and get your operations running faster than our competitors and without sacrificing quality or safety. While some claim that a new build or repair job will take months, we’ve completed them in weeks or, depending on the scope, days.

Why is it difficult to expedite new or repaired critical process equipment?
A variety of factors could prevent a fabricator from being able to provide the services you need, but the challenge of expedited fabrication projects lies in capabilities and relationships. Not all contractors can specialize this way. Many do not have the required breadth of capabilities or staff for such work. And, these projects require a tremendous amount of trust.
Critical work often needs to begin before there’s a signed agreement to meet quick turnaround windows. An experienced fabricator with a proven history of meeting accelerated schedules can help you navigate your situation, make decisions quickly, adapt even quicker, and collaborate to deliver what you need.
How does Enerfab achieve fast turnarounds with Rapid Response?
A variety of factors facilitate speed. We accelerate recovery through:
- Expedited firm pricing at the start of the project and within 24 hours.
- Parallel engineering, procurement, and manufacturing, which co-occur.
- Strong purchasing power backed by long-standing strategic partnerships with key vendors.
- Multi-shop fabrication, producing key components at the same time.
- Cutting-edge technology, reducing turnaround time.
- Unmatched customer trust enables us to move quickly and with confidence.
- A relentless mindset focused on solutions, speed, and precision.
What happens in the first 48 hours?
The first 48 hours are crucial because they lay the groundwork for success. Decisions in this period often determine whether the project will meet the customer’s needs and timeline. Sound preparation and team assembly are two of the most important activities in this initial period. Preparation begins long before a customer calls. It’s in the systems, processes, and culture we cultivate every day. When you call, we are ready to assist by procuring critical materials and equipment, deploying an effective chain of command and communications protocol, and moving forward with speed, safety, and quality.
Rapid Response in Action
The job totaled over 1200 linear feet of welding to support our customer’s eco-friendly production process. We solution annealed each piece performed post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) and phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT).
We fabricated the bottom in Natchez and the top in Cincinnati before combining and shipping for installation.
Our customer needed them to keep its patent alive. Each was designed, fabricated, painted, and insulated over major holidays. We accelerated delivery by running engineering, procurement, and fabrication in parallel.
