Field Pipe Welding & Spooling
On-Site Pipe Spooling, Tie-Ins and Repair in Houston
WeldIT sends certified pipe welders, fitters and fully equipped rig trucks to wherever the pipe is: a live refinery unit, a terminal, a water plant, a commercial mechanical room, or another fabricator’s floor. We spool, tie in and repair to ASME B31.1, B31.3 and API 1104 under your site rules, with crews of 2 to 8 from a one-day callout to a multi-week outage. 24-hour emergency line.
Certified Crews That Come to the Work
Some piping can’t be built in a shop and trucked in: tie-ins to existing lines, emergency repairs during a run, field-run spools where the drawings don’t match what’s installed, and jobs where the owner wants fabrication done inside the fence. For those, WeldIT brings the shop to you.
Our rig welders are the same people who fabricate spools in our 40,000 sq ft Houston shop, qualified to ASME Section IX and API 1104 with 6G certs in GTAW, SMAW, GMAW and FCAW. They carry current HASC and TWIC credentials, so they clear refinery, chemical plant and terminal gates without a delay at the guard shack.
What We Do On-Site
Tie-ins and hot taps support. Connecting new spools or units to existing lines during a shutdown or a scheduled window, with the fit-up verified against as-built conditions before the cut.
Emergency pipe repair. Cracked welds, leaking flanges, failed supports, corroded sections. 24-hour dispatch across Greater Houston; we weld the repair, document it and get you back in service.
Field spooling. Cutting, beveling, fit-up and welding of spools on-site when drawings don’t match the field, the lines are too big to ship, or the owner requires fabrication inside the fence.
Turnaround and outage support. Welders and fitters added to your crew for the duration, working your shifts, your permits and your QC plan.
Capacity for other fab shops. When your own floor is over capacity, our crews and rigs work in your bay under your WPS and your tags, white-label if you prefer.
How We Work Under Your Rules
Every site runs differently. We fit yours:
- Your JSA, PPE, hot-work and confined-space permits, and lockout; our safety program underneath
- HASC and TWIC credentials current for refinery, chemical plant, port and terminal access
- Your WPS, PQR and QC hold points; qualified procedures from us if you have none for a material
- Weld logs, welder IDs, heat numbers and MTRs delivered per job for your records and audits
Material from your stores or ours, with heat numbers logged at receipt either way. Third-party NDE (RT, UT, PT, MT) coordinated through our inspection partner when your spec calls for it.
What We Bring
Crews, Rigs and Scope
Pipe welders and fitters qualified to ASME Section IX and API 1104, 6G position, in GTAW, SMAW, GMAW and FCAW. Crews of 2 to 8 sized to the job; crew leads who report to your supervisor.
Carbon steel, stainless, chrome-moly and nickel alloys. Small-bore through large-diameter.
Self-contained welding rigs with machines, cutting and beveling tools, stands, rigging and PPE. We arrive ready to weld; the site supplies nothing but access and a permit.
Setup planned around your layout, airflow and traffic so our work doesn’t slow yours.
Tie-ins, emergency repairs, field spooling, support and structural welding, and turnaround crew augmentation. One-day callout to multi-week outage; no contract.
When the job is better built in a shop and shipped, we say so and quote both.
Where We Go
Greater Houston, Same Day
Ship Channel, Baytown, Pasadena, Deer Park, La Porte, Katy, Spring and the Woodlands. Same-day callouts when crew is available; 24-hour emergency line.
Texas Gulf Coast and Beyond
Beaumont, Port Arthur, Freeport, Corpus Christi and Dallas–Fort Worth by job size. Marine and port work at Houston, Galveston and Corpus Christi.
Need Finished Spools Instead?
When the work is better built in a shop and shipped, our 40,000 sq ft Houston facility fabricates to ASME B31.1 and B31.3 with third-party NDE and full documentation. See shop pipe spool fabrication.
Where On-Site Work Pays Off
Live Plants and Refineries
Tie-ins and repairs inside the fence during a scheduled window or an unplanned outage, by crews already cleared for the site.
Terminals, Water Plants and Marine
Tank farm piping, wastewater treatment tie-ins, shipboard spools at the port. Stainless, carbon and alloy, documented for the owner or the Class surveyor.
Other Fab Shops
Our crews and rigs in your bay when your backlog spikes. Your WPS, your tags, your paperwork; white-label if you prefer.
What You Get
One Crew, Shop to Field
The welders who tie in your spools are the ones who built them. No finger-pointing between a shop and a field contractor.
Paperwork That Passes
Weld logs, heat numbers, MTRs and NDE reports delivered per job, ready for your inspector or auditor.
Hours, Not Weeks
24-hour dispatch for emergencies and same-day answers on crew availability for planned work.
How a Field Job Runs
Scope and Site Review
We review drawings, the work location, access, permits and schedule. For tie-ins we field-verify dimensions against as-built conditions before anything is cut.
Crew and Schedule
Crew size, shifts and start date set to your window. Site orientation and permits handled before day one.
Weld On-Site
Fit-up, welding and tagging under your WPS and QC plan, with your supervisor in the loop as priorities shift.
Inspect, Document, Demobilize
Visual and third-party NDE per spec, documentation package handed over, site left as we found it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tie-ins to existing lines, emergency pipe repair, field spooling, turnaround crew augmentation, support and structural welding, and capacity inside other fab shops.
Yes. Welders and fitters carry current HASC and TWIC credentials and follow your site’s permit, hot-work and lockout rules.
We run a 24-hour line. Greater Houston callouts are typically same-day when crew is available; call and we’ll confirm.
ASME B31.1 and B31.3, API 1104, and AWS D1.1 for structural. We work to your WPS and PQR, or bring qualified procedures if you have none for a material.
Two to eight welders and fitters, sized to the job. One-day minimum, no long-term contract; outage support often runs two to six weeks.
Visual inspection by our CWI; RT, UT, PT and MT through an independent inspection partner. Weld logs, heat numbers, MTRs and NDE reports delivered per job.
Across Texas and the Gulf Coast by job size, including Beaumont, Port Arthur, Corpus Christi and Dallas–Fort Worth. Marine work at Houston, Galveston and Corpus Christi ports.
Tell Us Where the Pipe Is
Send the scope, a drawing or a photo of the problem, and the site. We’ll confirm crew availability the same day. Emergencies: (866) 338-0491, 24 hours.
Field work runs on the site’s rules and our own program: JSA before every job, your PPE, hot-work, confined-space and lockout procedures, fire watch where required. HASC and TWIC credentials are kept current so crews clear refinery, chemical plant and port gates without delay.
25 welders and fitters qualified to ASME Section IX and API 1104, with 6G certs in GTAW, SMAW, GMAW and FCAW, backed by an AWS Certified Welding Inspector and 8 estimating and QC staff. The rig crews we send to your site are the same people who fabricate spools in our shop.
Shop and field under one roof: spools built in our 40,000 sq ft shop and tied in by the same crew, so fit-up problems have one owner. Crews of 2 to 8, one-day minimum, 24-hour dispatch, and documentation that passes the owner’s inspector the first time.
