Steel Pipe Fabrication in California

Image of PMI’s pipe fabrication shop in California, showing multiple pieces of fabricated steel pipe. At our ASME-certified pipe fabrication shops, Performance Mechanical, Inc. (PMI) manufactures a full range of tailored piping, structural components, and pipe supports for clients throughout Northern and Southern California. Our skilled welders and experienced pipe fabricators provide high-quality solutions for fast-paced, schedule-driven projects.

Custom pipe fabrication can add value to a project by helping reduce labor time, increase efficiency, and shorten schedules. Further, because work is performed in a tightly controlled environment, our pipe fabrication shops also help us ensure stringent safety standards and provide the highest quality possible.

Fully Equipped Pipe Fabrication Shops in Sacramento, Huntington Beach, and Pittsburg

We operate two fully equipped pipe fabrication shops—a 55,000-square-foot shop located in Sacramento and a 20,000-square-foot shop in Huntington Beach outside of Los Angeles—as well as a smaller weld bay in Pittsburg near the Bay Area. We employ a team of incredibly talented welders and pipe fabricators and quality control at each shop is maintained by full-time Certified Weld Inspectors.
