Plumbing & HVAC Solutions Through Fabrication Design
Cooper Oates provides customized solutions for heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, plumbing and hydronics. Our expert craftsmen generate precision work, on time and on budget. Our in-house capabilities mean your project is protected from subcontractor mistakes and delays.
Our Fabrication Capabilities Include:
- Sheetmetal Fabrication Shop
- Pipe Fabrication Shop
- Complete Custom Skid Fabrication and Design
As Cooper Oates grew and took on more retrofits and special projects, we realized how beneficial it was to our customers to create our own fabrication department. Our 15,000 sq ft warehouse is the site of our in-house fabrication workshop. A precision plasma cutter, a welding shop, and specialized pipe fitting equipment mean that we can produce our own duct, plumbing, and piping assemblies, as well as customized packaged skids.
Our fabrication capabilities mean that we can create solutions all the way from basic plumbing to complex mechanical systems that service an entire facility. Our in-house team of experienced craftsmen has tight control over the quality of each element.
Even more important to scheduling and ultimately the bottom line of a project, creating our own duct work, pipe assemblies and customized skids keeps us safe from subcontractor delays and surcharges. This can be especially important if modifications are needed once work is underway.
Custom Sheetmetal Fabrication
Cooper Oates provides custom sheet metal fabrication for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Our extensive sheet metal fabrication shop and expert craftsmen generate custom and precise work on time – the first time– and within budget.
While smaller mechanical contractors must typically use sub-contractors to produce customized sheet metal products, our construction and installation teams get the quick turn-around needed to keep a project on schedule. No shopping around to find the best price. No back orders from another vendor. No delays for just the right part. Our shop regularly fabricates all gauges of sheet metal, per SMACNA standards, for medium/low pressure, lined, stainless steel, and black iron ductwork.
Our Sheetmetal Fabrication Applications:
- Tenant Improvements
- HVAC Retrofits
- HVAC Protection Cages and Theft Deterrents
- Data Centers and Clean Room Air Systems
- Custom Ventilation and Exhaust Systems
Pipe Fabrication
As the mechanical projects Cooper Oates has undertaken have become larger and more complex, we have focused not only on building a solid and experienced team of pipe fitters but are at the same time procuring the first-class tools required to manage the type of projects that Cooper Oates specializes in. Recent acquisitions in our pipefitting division include the Miller Pipeworx, Hypertherm Powermax 85, and the Pandjiris Model 30-6AB Positioner.
We have the in-house capability to design and create:
- Custom pipe spools
- Pipe grooving, welding, and threading
- Structural pipe supports
- Domestic water piping
- Sanitary drain, waste, and vent piping
- Storm and roof drainage piping
- Medical gas and vacuum piping
- Natural and LP fuel gas piping
- Specialty piping
- Hydronic system
- Plumbing Assemblies
Customized Skids
Piping systems are integral to every HVAC and Plumbing installation. Creating customized skids means fabrication is done in-shop, indoors. This can translate into higher quality standards than in-field fabrication. It also ensures that every part of your piping assembly is properly installed and safety-tested before it is shipped to your job site. When our team of licensed plumbers customize your project’s piping assemblies, solutions become seamless.
Complete Custom Skids Assemblies, Including:
- Compressed Air
- Domestic Booster Pumps
- Boiler (Steam-Domestic Water-Heating Hot Water)
