We are a facilities and infrastructure contractor in Smithfield. Family-owned, founded in 1986 - this is our 40th year - 2nd generation, 41 people.
Our work is the plant and the systems that keep the shipyards and industrial facilities running - pumphouses and booster stations, utility tunnels, steam and compressed air distribution, river water and fire protection, process piping, instrumentation and controls. A good bit of what we install, we fabricate ourselves in our own shop.
We self-preform as piping and fabrication contractor, and we also run as general contractor on projects - holding the schedule, the subcontractors and the customer relationship ourselves.
The work itself is not residential and it is not the same fitting 8 hours a day. The materials you'd touch are: carbon and seamless steel, stainless, copper, brass, copper-nickel, ductile and cast iron, PVC and CPVC, HDPE, Bondstrand fiberglass, NUPI polypropylene, Aquatherm and ASAHI Air Pro.
