Project Planning & Execution
Technology & Innovation
Technology & Innovation
As our customers and markets grow, we strive to stay ahead by introducing new technology, innovation, and unique ways of working that create safer, more efficient projects, job sites, and shops. The technologies below just scratch the surface of our innovative approach to your projects.
-
01
Efficient Project Delivery
At Enerfab, we recognize that the job isn’t done until it arrives safely at your job site or facility.
We leverage our shop capabilities, in-house digital drawing and document display kiosks, and partners to deliver your project and meet your speed-to-market goals.
-
02
Scheduling
As a vertically integrated company, we leverage our shop and field capabilities to control the project schedule from concept to completion.
-
03
Supply Chain Management
Through our affiliate companies, long-standing vendor relationships, and diverse supplier networks, we offer expanded scopes and turnkey solutions.
As a result, we are your single source provider, enabling more control over project timelines and delivery.
-
04
Rapid Response
Production begins on day one when planning, engineering, and execution coincide to meet your tight turnaround window. We work alongside you every step of the way to ensure that safety and quality are never sacrificed even with accelerated timelines.
-
05
3D Laser Scanning
Scanning technology quickly captures over 3 million data points on facility structures and systems to produce near-perfect 3D models.
- Scanning – Digital scanning shortens shutdowns and mitigates safety risks while capturing data much quicker than traditional measuring processes.
- Engineering & Design – Once captured, scans enable accurate design review and estimates before construction to optimize the constructability of even the most complex projects.
- Project Control – Throughout the life of the project, 3D scans aid in verifying equipment installation, tracking project status, and ultimately closing the communication loop with more consistent data.
- Modular Application – By leveraging these data points, the scanning helps us be sure that your modules fit precisely each time.

06
Welding Technology & Automation
Robotic welding has enabled the craftworkers in our fabrication shops to increase throughput without sacrificing quality. These robots support our skilled welders while shortening production time and maximizing available fabrication space.
- Cold Wire GTAW Welding: With the addition of automatic wire feed, deposition rates can approach that of GMAW while realizing GTAW quality.
- Narrow Groove Welding: This welding technique is used on heavy-wall vessels to create the best metallurgical condition by minimizing heat-affected zones and reducing angular distortion. It also decreases the quantity of consumables necessary to complete the joint and lessens weld durations. A good example would be the manufacture of CrMo pressure vessels used in hydrogen refining applications.
- Weld Overlay: Weld overlays in single or double thickness utilizing GMAW, SAW, and ESW techniques. Enerfab complements weld overlay through our in-house machining capabilities.
- Tube-to-Tubesheet Welding: Enerfab provides specialized tube-to-tubesheet welding heads with the capability for autogenous welding or with filler wire for restraint or strength welds.
- Automated Half-Pipe Welding: We’ve developed a proprietary process for half-pipe jacketing utilizing a continuous coil. This process results in fewer butt joint welds, which means fewer fatigue points, therefore extending the life lifespan of your equipment.
From the shop to the field, our investment in the next wave of technology enables us to complete your projects on time and within budget.
Safety
Sending each of our employees home safely at the end of the day is our most important core value. Simply put, business can’t be achieved without safety at the forefront.
Creating a Safety Culture
Our safety culture resonates through every aspect of our work, from conference rooms to shops and job sites. We keep safety top of mind, every second, every minute, every hour, every day. Safety always.
Additionally, we strive to be a catalyst for improving safety industrywide – that’s why our team members and executive leadership are on the safety committees of various associations and unions. This includes active participation in the boilermakers’ MOST program and the ironworkers’ flagship training program, IMPACT. We equip our team members with Human Performance Improvement (HPI) tools to empower them to speak up for safety, and our OSHA training requirements for each team member exceed industry standards.
HPI Tools
Safety Auditing
Using our digital safety tools, safety managers can proactively monitor safety risks at each of our job sites. This real-time safety auditing application provides easy access to site-specific safety plans, permits, safety records, and other important job site documents at the safety manager’s fingertips. Everyone at Enerfab is responsible for safety.
