Fabrication & Setting Design

Commercial Fabrication & Setting Design 

Our customers often need a gas setting designed to fit their unique technical specifications and that is not something that can be bought off the shelf. A core component of building these settings is meeting customers’ unique needs, and that comes in many forms. For example, some customers need integrated instrumentation that will synch with their utility software, AMI systems, cellular networks, or landline communication. They also need to ensure those technologies work with their internal operating systems. Other customers need a setting built to fit into a designated space, like a small recess on a commercial building. And some customers require their settings to be painted specific colors to visually blend with the facilities they are being installed on. These are just a few examples of requirements, and we can provide guidance in how to proceed with a project. 

     

After consulting with customers to learn exactly what their system needs to meet its specifications, we get down to business. To create customers’ custom settings, we work alongside our trusted local partner, JNL Fabrication. JNL Fabrication is an expert in creating all kinds of residential and commercial fabricated settings. There are a variety of setting options available, including light commercial setting with ferruled meter, manifold setting, commercial setting with bypass, farm tap setting with bypass, grain dryer setting with optional bypass, and more.

Gate Stations, RNG Interconnects, & More

Our mission is to provide our customers with the best products and services available. That’s why we are proud to have Innovative Steel Works and Fabrication (ISW) onboard as a vendor. ISW provides large capacity station fabrication and design, as well as RNG interconnects. Many times, skids and pipe supports and fabricated settings are provided by separate suppliers. ISW has solved that problem by providing high quality custom fabricated settings for the natural gas and pipeline industry, as well as a one-of-a-kind skid design that makes installing and servicing the setting an easier experience. The proprietary skid design, along with patented pipe and wedge supports, allow for adjustable heights during installation and shorter lead times for fabrication projects.  

  

 

Tardi Station

Renewable natural gas (RNG) has become an increasingly popular topic of conversation within the natural gas industry over the past few years. Is your utility thinking about how to integrate its use into your operations?   

The Tardi Station is a collaboration between ISW and KPA Engineering. The patent pending design is the market’s only fully customizable RNG interconnect station and is a one stop solution for utilities and developers to streamline the interconnections of renewable natural gas projects with the pipeline system. The Tardi Station is a fully customizable RNG package station that can be rapidly deployed to any RNG interconnect. The core design includes the skid base, canopy, SCADA/RTU cabinet, analyzer building, and interconnect piping all in one unit. ISW and KPA can also work with your team if you have specific design requirements and products you’d like to use. The station is designed so that it is adaptable to a utility’s changing needs. It’s designed to be easily collapsible and transported on a flatbed trailer if it needs to be moved to a different location. 

Tardi Station Performance Features 

• Completely mobile unit eliminates the risk of sinking a lot of money in custom assets that cannot be relocated or reused. 
• Save money and time by skipping the design, fabrication, and sourcing for each interconnect. 
• Client inspections are welcome. Factory acceptance tests are recommended. 
• We will utilize the owner's material, coating, testing, and welding specifications upon request. 
• Interchangeable spools for various regulator sizes so the station can grow as demand grows. 
• Standard 4-inch inlet and outlet headers. Spool options for 4-, 3- and 2-inch regulators. 
• Entire assembly is pressure tested to the maximum pressure allowed by components. 
• 100% x-ray on all welds. 
• Laser etched QR code on each skid for digital storage of all T.V.C documentation. 
• Station can be delivered with drawings stamped by a P.E. 
• Stations are typically complete within 12 weeks of receipt of material. 

 

 

 

VersaSkid® 

ISW offers several products to elevate a utility’s infrastructure that you can’t find anywhere else. That includes the VersaSkid®. The VersaSkid® modular skid provides a unique patented platform to support various equipment and piping. It was designed for commercial, utility, and industrial applications where equipment and piping need to be fixed to or supported by a strong base. The skid has sliding grooves that allow easy placement of stands and supports in lateral and horizontal positions. Retaining washers, bolts, and nuts secure equipment in place, which eliminates the need to modify skids in the field.  

There are also ISW’s VersaSkid® Pipe Supports, which were designed to work together with the VersaSkid®. The base of the pipe supports are specifically designed to attach to the grid of the skid which allows for maximum adjustment in lateral, horizontal, and vertical directions. The VersaSkid® Pipe Supports are bolted in place to allow for field adjustment and eliminate the need to weld. All materials used in the construction of the supports are designed to provide maximum protection from the elements while retaining adjustment functionality. 

 

Barricade System 

The VersaSkid® Barricade is an easy to install barrier designed to provide an additional layer of protection to exposed above ground piping and equipment from vehicles. The barricade is designed to meet new integrity standards set by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) for the gas distribution industry. It can be used anywhere that there may be a need to reduce the risk of a potential collision or contact with sensitive equipment and piping. The VersaSkid® Barricade is easy to install around existing structures and equipment by eliminating the need for welding or other intrusive installation methods. 

A patented connector allows the posts and railings to be easily assembled and disassembled with allen head socket screws if necessary. The corner post, t-post, and end post are installed by concreting two feet of post in place and an optional mounting plate allows the posts to be bolted to a concrete pad. Right and left-handed end posts allow maintained access to existing gates and entry points.
