Industrial fabrication in Columbus, Ohio
A little over an hour north of the shop.
We are a Piketon based job shop that works in Columbus regularly, which means our crew drives to you and our shop stays where it is.
Columbus is the largest market we serve and it is a straightforward drive north for us. We want to be plain about the arrangement, because it matters to how you plan work: we do not have a Columbus building. The shop, the equipment and the fabrication capacity are in Piketon, and the on-site crew travels.
In practice that shapes which jobs suit us here. On-site fabrication, millwright work, mechanical repair and pipe welding all travel well, because the work happens at your facility either way. Shop fabrication travels well too, because a finished part rides north in a truck. What travels badly is anything that needs three unplanned trips, which is why we ask for photographs and access details before quoting rather than after.
The reason a Columbus plant calls a shop from Pike County is usually availability. We are open 24 hours, and a lot of industrial work only has a window at night or over a weekend. If your outage is Saturday, being an hour away and awake beats being twenty minutes away and closed.
The other reason is that this is one shop with most of the trades in it. Fabrication, millwright, mechanical, welding, machining and CAD all sit under the same roof and the same quote, so a job that turns out to need two of those does not turn into two vendors and two schedules.

Questions about working in Columbus
Q01Do you have a shop in Columbus?
No, and we would rather say so directly. The shop is in Piketon, Ohio and our crew travels to Columbus for on-site work. Shop fabrication is built in Piketon and delivered.
Q02Is it worth calling a shop that far away?
For scheduled and after hours work, often yes, because we are open 24 hours and a lot of Columbus shops are not. For a job that needs somebody on site within the hour, probably not, and we will tell you that.
Q03What kind of Columbus work suits you best?
Planned and scheduled work: installs, shutdown windows, modifications with a date on them, and fabricated assemblies built in Piketon and delivered. Those all travel well.
Q04Do you charge travel to Columbus?
Tell us the job and we will quote it as one number so there are no surprises. Access details up front are what keep that number accurate.
