Piping Systems

We provide engineering, fabrication, and non-destructive testing (NDT) for high-performance piping systems. Thanks to our experience with SF₆ gases, we design and install vacuum-insulated cryogenic systems for extreme temperatures, supporting research institutes and heavy industry globally.

Advanced fluid management: from stainless steel to complex cryogenics

Building on our extensive expertise in SF₆ gas distribution networks, we have expanded our capabilities to provide both high-quality stainless steel elementary piping and highly complex vacuum-jacketed cryogenic piping systems. We connect critical plant machinery, ensuring the safe management and transport of liquid and gaseous fluids even at ultra-low temperatures.

Our turnkey competencies

We manage the entire project lifecycle, starting from P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagram) schematics to ensure perfect alignment with plant layouts:

  • Advanced engineering and design: We develop preliminary studies, 2D isometric drawings, and complete 3D modeling using state-of-the-art software, ensuring precise spatial visualization of the entire layout.
  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA): We perform rigorous stress analysis on all piping networks and structural support components, guaranteeing long-term mechanical integrity.
  • Fabrication and installation: We handle precision prefabrication in the workshop, complemented by smooth, efficient, and safe on-site installation at the client’s facilities.

Uncompromising quality and certified testing

  • Certified welding: All welded joints, both in the workshop and on-site, are executed exclusively by highly qualified welders in compliance with international ASME and EN standards.
  • In-house leak testing: Our technical team holds Level 2 and Level 3 certifications (ISO 9712 / SNT-TC-1A), guaranteeing the execution of specialized tests using tracer gases (helium, nitrogen, and custom mixtures).
  • Comprehensive Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): We implement meticulous consistency checks on all mechanical and welded connections. For radiography activities, we continuously collaborate with experienced and accredited laboratories, ensuring the full compliance of every component.

Flagship projects and research collaborations

Our rigorous engineering standards have made us the partner of choice for major industrial players and the most prestigious scientific research institutes. Among our most significant achievements:

  • MITICA Experiment (RFX Consortium / CNR, Padua): We managed the complete production, installation, and NDT checks of the advanced cryogenic system supporting this fundamental international scientific experiment.
  • NBTF line infrastructure: We managed the design, installation, and rigorous testing of the SF₆ insulating gas distribution system dedicated to the research infrastructure at the CNR site.

Frequently Asked Question

What you need to know

For specific requirements, contact our engineering team

We work primarily with high-quality stainless steel for fluid transport, in addition to creating complex vacuum-insulated piping systems (vacuum-jacketed), specifically designed for cryogenic fluids at ultra-low temperatures.

Yes. Our engineering service includes complete 3D modeling and the execution of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This process ensures that the piping networks and their supporting structures are designed to correctly withstand operational thermal expansions and expected mechanical loads.

Our welders are qualified according to ASME and EN standards. Regarding quality control, our in-house testing personnel hold Level 2 and Level 3 certifications in compliance with ISO 9712 and SNT-TC-1A regulations.

Absolutely yes. Our experience in creating cryogenic systems and SF₆ gas plants, as demonstrated in the MITICA project at the CNR PRIMA research center in Padua, attests to our ability to meet the most stringent technical and scientific requirements internationally.
