Importance of Pipework Prefabrication in Construction

Pipework is a crucial element in modern infrastructure. From large industrial facilities to residential plumbing, it’s a key part of any building.

The prefabrication of pipework involves a highly specialised process that requires a team of skilled professionals, state-of-the-art technology, and specialised equipment (all of which we pride ourselves on). Read more about the pipework prefabrication process here.

One of the key benefits of pipework prefabrication is the time efficiency. The process of fabricating the pipework offsite means that it’s constructed in a controlled environment. This aligns with our priority of ensuring your pipework is delivered on time, every time.

Another positive of fabricating pipework off-site, is its enhanced quality. At Abbey Pipework Fabricators, we’re proud of our quality prefabricated pipework. Our welders are qualified to BS EN 9606-1, weld procedures are qualified to BS EN 15614-1, and are capable of welding Class 1 & Class 2 Welds.

All of our works undergo strict adherence to our rigid Quality Assurance programme. So not only does this mean all work is completed to the highest quality, it means all of our customers have full reassurance in the prefabrication process.

Pipework Prefabrication Projects

Let’s take a look at some projects where our pipework played a crucial role in the construction works.

Silverstone

In 2023 we saw the launch of Aston Martin’s brand new facility at Silverstone.

Abbey Pipework Fabricators were delighted to provide the brand new facility (covering an incredible 400,000 square feet) with prefabricated pipework.

Working from initial sketches, we were delighted to fabricate pipework for the new site. We provided CHW & LTHW pipework at 21/2”nb and above for the Air Source Heat Pumps, AHU and Fan Coil Circuits. Once the pipework was fabricated, we then arranged for it to be dropped off at the facility to be installed by our client.
