Asahi/America frequently fabricates spools and assemblies out of our engineered thermoplastic pipes to meet our customers' dimensions, specifications, and delivery needs. We’ve been fabricating double containment systems since before we received our first fabrication patent in the late ’80s. Asahi continues to expand our capabilities and capacity through new equipment and personnel. We fabricate multiple types of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe geared toward the water filtration industry that support skid builders with higher quality, longer-lasting filtration headers. We also focus on complicated assemblies to support large prefabricated projects that can ship directly to the job site, thus reducing field welds while drastically increasing cost savings for our customers.

For customers who coordinate multiple trades and tight schedules, prefabrication may solve some logistics issues. The amount of time contractors can spend working on-site is limited by the congestion in work zones and onsite scheduling conflicts and various meetings that are scheduled throughout the day. Prefabricated products reduce costs by reducing the number of field welds and field construction.

If offsite fabrication isn’t already enticing enough, the added benefit of specific know-how and extra components helps eliminate the contractor's need to order additional parts, in the event that dimensions are off or rework is needed on a pipeline spool. We are agile and responsive, if design changes are made during fabrications, we have plenty of inventory to redo the fabrication with minimal downtime and without jeopardizing the completion date.
