Bring fabrication expertise into the design process.
The earlier we’re involved, the more we can contribute to your finished piping system. On design-build projects, we work alongside contractors and engineers while plans are still taking shape. We review piping layouts, develop 3D models and identify opportunities to improve the design or reduce unnecessary costs. Our team of experts understands what it takes to turn drawings into piping, and we bring our experience to the table before fabrication begins.
Detailed piping estimates built around your plans
Our estimators work directly from the engineer’s plans and specifications to develop material takeoffs and pricing for your project. We break down the estimate by piping system and lining or coating, giving you an organized spreadsheet that’s easy to review against your own numbers. You’ll get the information you need to evaluate your options and determine the best approach for your project.
Pipe drafting that works beyond the drawing board
Our drafting team uses AutoCAD and Revit to develop detailed piping layouts, with each component identified in a corresponding bill of materials. These drawings can support engineer submittals and, once updated to reflect field conditions, serve as as-built records.
DrawingFabricatedDuctile iron and steel pipe fabrication for complex projects
Our Leeds, Alabama, facility has the largest capacity for ductile iron pipe fabrication under one roof in the United States, with more ductile iron pipe manufacturing machines at a single facility than any other U.S. fabricator. We fabricate ductile iron pipe up to 64 inches in diameter, including flanged and grooved spools, wall penetration pipe, restrained joint closures and custom outlets. Our capabilities also include fabrication of carbon steel and stainless steel piping for treatment plant projects.
Porcelain glass and epoxy pipe linings for treatment plants
C&B Piping is the nation’s largest supplier of porcelain glass linings for ductile iron pipe systems. We’ve manufactured our own CBGL911 porcelain glass lining since 2003, and our operation includes the industry’s largest glass lining oven, allowing us to handle the largest sizes of ductile iron pipe. We also apply Protecto 401 ceramic epoxy and Ceramapure PL90 linings to pipe, fittings and fabricated pieces.
Protective pipe coatings for demanding environments
We apply high-build epoxy, urethane and zinc coatings to protect piping systems in demanding environments. Our coating capabilities include products from Tnemec, Induron, Sherwin-Williams and Chemline, along with arc spray zinc metalizing for cathodic protection. Our Leeds facility includes a 38,000-square-foot painting operation, and we have 10 AMPP/NACE CIP Level 1 coating inspectors on staff.
Piping project management from submittals to delivery
There’s plenty to coordinate after an order is placed. Our team handles submittal development, project kickoff meetings and production scheduling, with options for expedited early releases when your project calls for them. Your sales representative stays involved throughout the process, providing a familiar point of contact as the piping moves through production and delivery.
