Pipe spool fabrication

Define the spool package

A spool package needs more than an overall pipe route. Identify the individual assemblies, connection points and drawing revisions so the fabrication scope can be compared against your installation plan. State which materials and components you will supply and which you want included in the quotation. If drawings are still being developed, identify the open dimensions or design decisions when you submit them.

• Isometrics or fabrication drawings with spool numbers and revision status
• Pipe sizes, schedules, material grades, fitting details and flange specifications
• Quantities, connection details and dimensions that control field fit-up
• Applicable piping code, project specifications and required delivery date

Plan inspection and records before welding

The required examination and testing depend on the piping code and your project specification. Include the inspection and test plan with your RFQ where available, including witness or hold points and any customer review requirements. This lets the quotation account for the required inspections and records before production starts.

• Material traceability and required material records
• Welding procedure requirements, weld identification and weld records
• NDE methods and extent specified for the project
• Pressure test requirements and the final manufacturing data package

Coordinate fabrication with installation

Tell us how the spools fit into your wider piping package. Flag field-weld connections, mating equipment and any dimensions that need confirmation before release. Include the delivery destination and whether the order has multiple delivery stages. We review these requirements with the drawings and confirm the quoted scope and schedule with your team. For piping supplied as part of a framed assembly, our process skid fabrication service covers the related module and equipment-frame scope.
