Fabrication Shop

A leader in Lean Construction

Auburn has been a leader in Lean construction practices for years. This includes our prefabrication process and dedication to just-in-time deliveries. Our fabrication shop allows us to fabricate systems off-site and deliver fully assembled equipment skids to the jobsite.

Key Elements include

We use Stratus, a cloud-based material management system, which provides real-time visibility for procurement, fabrication, and installation status.

Through our system, our field foremen can make immediate adjustments to the fabrication and delivery schedule simultaneously, decreasing material waste and increasing quality of the final installation.

An important part of fabrication is the QA/QC process that occurs on shop fabrication prior to delivery to the jobsite.

Fully assembled equipment skids and spool pieces arrive at the project site at the optimal time to minimize project congestion. This approach reduces field hours minimizing exposure to safety risks and raising quality to factory-level standards.
