Certified Pipeline Welding & High-Integrity Pipe Spool Fabrication
High-pressure pipelines, metering stations, and terminal facilities demand flawless metallurgical bonding and precision fabrication. Lucama Engineering Services provides world-class welding and pipe fabrication services that strictly adhere to ASME Section IX, ASME B31.3, ASME B31.4, ASME B31.8, and API 1104 standards.
From shop fabrication of heavy-wall piping spools, pig launcher/receiver barrels, and manifold headers to precision field welding and in-service hot-tap tie-ins, our certified welding inspectors (CWI) and coded welders ensure 100% radiographic quality and metallurgical integrity on every weld.
Welding Capabilities & Custom Fabrication Scope
Our fabrication facilities and mobile field welding rigs handle complex geometries, extreme wall thicknesses, and specialized metallurgy:
Shop fabrication of ASME B31.3 / B31.4 pipe spools & skids
Mainline cross-country pipeline field welding (SMAW, GMAW, GTAW)
Pig launcher and receiver barrel fabrication & hydro-testing
Manifold headers, slug catchers & valve assembly fabrication
In-service welding & hot-tap branch connections (API 1104 App B)
Structural steel pipe supports, pipe racks, and skid frames
Exotic metallurgy welding: stainless steel, duplex, and chrome-moly
Preheat, post-weld heat treatment (PWHT), and hardness testing
Precision Metallurgy & Zero-Defect Standards
Our extensive library of qualified Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR) guarantees fast turnaround and zero-defect execution.
Why Choose Lucama for Welding & Fabrication
Near-zero weld repair rate across tens of thousands of field joints
On-staff AWS/CSWIP Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs)
100% material traceability with full MTRs and weld log archiving
Turnkey pre-fabrication reduces costly on-site installation time
In-house post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) and stress relief
State-of-the-art orbital and automated pipe welding equipment
Fabrication & Field Welding Workflow
Every weldment follows a disciplined quality assurance path from raw material inspection through final non-destructive verification:
1. MTR Verification & Fit-Up Inspection
2. Controlled Welding & Thermal Profiling
3. 100% NDE Verification & Hydro-Testing
Every Lucama welder undergoes rigorous testing and recertification on an ongoing basis. We enforce comprehensive safety shielding, fume extraction, and pre-weld atmospheric testing on all field fabrication sites.
Frequently Asked Questions
What welding processes do your technicians utilize?
We utilize SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), GTAW/TIG (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), GMAW/MIG (Gas Metal Arc Welding), FCAW (Flux-Cored Arc Welding), and SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) for shop spooling.
What testing is performed on completed pipeline welds?
All welds undergo visual inspection (VT) by certified CWIs, followed by volumetric non-destructive testing including Radiographic Testing (RT) or Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), plus MPI/DPI as required.
Do you provide complete fabrication data books?
Yes. Each spool or assembly is shipped with a comprehensive quality dossier containing Mill Test Reports (MTRs), WPS/PQR references, weld maps, NDT reports, PWHT charts, and hydro-test certificates.
Can you fabricate custom pig traps and manifolds?
Yes. We design, fabricate, and test custom pig launcher and receiver barrels with quick-opening closures (QOC), bypass piping, and kick-off valves engineered to ASME Section VIII and B31.4/B31.8.
