Your plant needs pipe that passes x-ray. Code work, not hack work. We run ASME procedures, qualify our welders on the actual WPS, and document everything. Refineries, chemical plants, power generation—we've worked them all across Louisiana's industrial corridors.
Pipe welding in Louisiana runs $12–$35 per diameter-inch for carbon steel field work. Stainless is $20–$65 per dia-inch. A 6-inch Schedule 40 carbon weld? About $72–$210 depending on position and access. Shop fab runs 20-30% less. We quote by the weld count—send your isometrics for real numbers in 3-5 days.
Fill out the form and our team will review your project and respond with pricing, lead time, and any questions — typically within one business day.

Nobody wants to quote pipe welding over the phone. "It depends." True—but you deserve a starting point. Here's what we've charged on actual Louisiana projects in the past year. These are field welding rates; shop fab is 20-30% less.
| Material | Field Rate (per dia-inch) | 6" Sch 40 Butt Weld |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steel (A106/A53) | $12 – $35 | $72 – $210 |
| 304/316 Stainless | $20 – $65 | $120 – $390 |
| Chrome-Moly (P11/P22) | $35 – $85 | $210 – $510 |
| Duplex Stainless | $40 – $90 | $240 – $540 |
| Inconel / Hastelloy | $60 – $150+ | $360 – $900+ |
| Sanitary (316L Orbital) | $50 – $100 | $300 – $600 |
Rates vary by position, access, testing requirements, and job size. Shop fabrication 20-30% less than field rates. January 2025 pricing.
From P&ID to pressure test. We fab it, weld it, install it, test it. One contractor, one responsibility.
Shop-fabricated spools delivered ready to install. Cut, bevel, fit, weld, NDE—all before it leaves our shop. Tagged by system, staged by install sequence.
ASME qualified welders on every procedure we run. SMAW, GTAW, FCAW—whatever the WPS calls for. X-ray quality is the baseline, not the exception.
Our crews install what we fabricate. Rigging, fit-up, field welds, tie-ins. We coordinate with your other trades and work your schedule—including nights and weekends.
Food, beverage, pharma—we do 3A sanitary work. Orbital welding for consistent purge. Interior bead inspection. Documentation that satisfies your auditors.
Hydrostatic and pneumatic testing per spec. We coordinate RT, PT, MT through qualified NDE contractors. Test packs assembled for your records.
Leaks happen. Corrosion happens. We do emergency repairs and planned replacements. Hot taps and line stops when you can't shut down.
Here's what happens after you send us your P&IDs and isometrics.
We count welds, spec materials, estimate hours. You get a detailed quote with weld count, material allowance, and labor breakdown.
Spools fabricated in our shop. Fit-up, tack, root, fill, cap. NDE before it ships. Every spool tagged and tracked.
Our crews install the spools. Rigging, supports, tie-ins. Field welds done to same standard as shop work.
