Pipe and Vessel Fabrication

UO Group fabricates custom pipe and vessel systems built to perform in the toughest industrial environments. Our ASME Code Certified facility handles everything from modular pipe skids and steam manifolds to pressure vessels and specialty components — in carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy materials. Because we understand steam and condensate systems end-to-end, we don’t just build the component — we understand how it functions within your system as a whole. That means fewer handoffs, better fit, and faster installation.

Capabilities Include:

At UO Group, we deliver custom pipe and vessel fabrication built to withstand the toughest industrial environments. Our team combines skilled craftsmanship with modern fabrication techniques to produce reliable, code-compliant systems that meet your exact specifications. From precision welding and fit up to coatings and quality testing, we ensure every project is completed with durability, safety, and performance in mind. Whether it’s a one-off specialty item or a large-scale system, we provide the expertise and capacity to keep your operation moving.

Steam, Electrical, and Other Tracing Services

UO Group provides complete steam and electrical heat tracing services — from system design and engineering through installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Our team works closely with EPC firms and facility engineers to design heat tracing infrastructure that maximizes production reliability and energy efficiency. We also offer advanced automation of existing heat tracing systems using our proprietary TraceIQ™ software powered by ABB, giving plant operators real-time visibility and control.

Our steam and electric tracing services are engineered to maintain consistent temperature control, prevent freeze-related failures, and protect critical process equipment across a wide range of industrial environments.

From design and installation to maintenance and upgrades, we tailor each tracing system to meet your operational needs and industry standards, keeping your plant running smoothly and safely.

Steam System Audits, Surveys, and Asset Management

A facility can’t optimize its steam system without a clear picture of how it’s actually performing. UO Group conducts comprehensive plant-wide steam and condensate audits that benchmark system performance, identify energy losses, locate steam trap failures, and reveal opportunities to reduce operating costs and improve process throughput.

Our audit process is data-driven. We use the Armstrong SAGE™ steam trap management platform to deliver real-time documentation and automated trap data – giving your team actionable insight immediately. UO Group also identifies where automation can be integrated into your plant to improve transparency and reduce reactive maintenance.
