This fall marks the beginning of our plant expansion to over 240,000 square feet— an increase of more than 42%
This expansion will help maximize Piping Technology’s plant safety and efficiency. We are adding a covered loading dock to facilitate pickups and deliveries from trucks, regardless of the weather. We will also be paving and covering our large shipping yard. Wall lights and skylights in the warehouse will improve its appearance and the new ventilation systems and fireproof exit corridors we will be installing will boost our emergency safety capabilities. Finally, the entire plant will be made wheelchair-accessible and in accordance with all ADA specifications and regulations. A diagram of the plant can be seen below, with the proposed expansion highlighted in blue
Proposed Plant Expansion: The blue area indicates the shop space being added
Completion of PT&P’s expansion is targeted for early 1996. This means that next year, and in years to come, PT&P customers can look forward to heightened production, speedier delivery, and maximum efficiency from Piping Technology. Don’t forget to come out and see the beautiful new addition to our plant next year we can’t wait to show you around!
Complete Duct System for Food Processing Plant
Sweco Fab, Inc. designed and fabricated a complete duct system for a major engineering and construction firm in Houston.The project is a carbon dioxide facility for a food processing plant being constructed in Massachusetts.
Two unique features of the 96” ID fabrication are the very light materials with close tolerances and the painting system for food grade product.

Carbon Steel Tank
Pictured above is one of the six identical tanks Sweco Fab, Inc. supplied for the expansion of City of Houston’s Sims Bayou Waste Treatment Plant.
These carbon steel tanks are rubber lined and have a special paint outside. Each tank has 6,000 gallon capacity.

Insulated Pipe Supports
The photographs above show insulated pipe supports designed for a system being installed in a very cold climate in Russia. The insulating components are inside next to the pipe. The outside components are galvanized steel. In the foreground of the photo at the right are two fixtures which were built for load testing these pipe supports by applying known forces with a hydraulic load cell. Piping Technology & Products, Inc., fabricated prototype units for a Houston Engineering Firm and tested the units. After successful tests a number of similar units were built for shipment to Russia.

Constant Effort Supports for Generating Facilities
Constant Effort Supports in the Field
Piping Technology & Products, Inc. has designed and built thirty-two constant effort supports ranging in loads from eighty to eighty-seven kips with seven and one half inches of total travel on each.Six of the thirty-two are shown in position and they will support critical portions of the heater. The balance in other parts of the plant will support equally critical lines such as main steam and boiler reheat.
Located near Calvert, Texas, this is the second generating facility for Texas – New Mexico Power at this site. Piping Technology & Products, Inc. supplied the same material on the previous installation for this client.

Spectacle Blinds for 60” Pipe
Pictured above are spectacle blinds. Piping Technology & Products, Inc. builds these for any pipe size up to 60”. A variety of metals can be used including carbon steels, stainless steels or exotic alloys depending on the pressure rating required and the environment where they must function.
Do you need any spectacle blinds for an upcoming project? Let us price it for you today!
Refurbished Constant Supports
The picture above shows the “before” and “after” of constant supports refurbished by Piping Technology & Products, Inc. Customers ship these units to our plant during a turn-around in a wide variety of conditions. In this case it was cheaper and faster to refurbish them than to rebuild. In either case each unit is completely tested in a load cell to assure performance and a new name plate is attached to record the load, travel and other parameters. Four of these horizontal upthrust supports can be seen above, ready for return to the customers. Power plants, petrochemical plants and paper mills are the primary users of this service.

Flue Gas Duct Damper
The picture above shows a flue gas duct damper fabricated using Inconel for certain components by the Sweco Fab division of Piping Technology & Products, Inc. Two of these dampers were shipped to Trinidad for installation above the furnaces of an ammonia plant. They have a special refractory lining to withstand the high temperatures of the flue gases. The picture at the left show the linkage of the damper to the motor-driven control system. Each unit weighs approximately 2300 lb. and the openings are approximately 12 feet by 6 feet.

“Finger Joint” for Howard Franklin Bridge
The picture above shows a 20 foot section of a “Finger Joint” expansion assembly produced by PT&P for the Howard Franklin Bridge from Tampa to St. Petersburg in Florida.
This section is assembled and ready for shipment. Note the galvanized finish on everything except the temporary shipping bars. Each assembly includes four sections having a total weight of 11,227 lb. The fingers on this bridge are tapered to minimize tire damage to vehicles.
