Why Expertise Matters in Fabrication
Featured Product from Asahi/America, Inc.
Significant industrial growth in the last decade has challenged industries and contracting firms to construct and deliver completed facilities as contracted quickly. The goal is to complete the build in record time and under budget and not compromise quality.
Today, job sites are congested and cluttered with competing trades, and everyone strives to deliver their scope of work as committedly as possible. Offsite manufacturing (OSM) is becoming widely leveraged as the answer to meeting these challenges.
Technologies and tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) have proven essential in the planning and layout of piping systems in prefabrication. These technologies allow for pre-production review of the design methodology, detection of potential clashes, and decrease in waste, to name a few. By addressing areas of concern early on with the designers, integrators, and fabricators, corrective action can be taken to reduce the risk of time delays, design flaws, and unnecessary materials and components being utilized.
