What is pipe fabrication?
If your project requires a pipe system that fits perfectly, performs reliably, and is tailored to your exact specifications, you’re going to need more than standard lengths and off-the-shelf fittings. You’ll need custom pipe fabrication—a process that allows your piping system to be purpose-built for your application, whatever it may be. At UPG Pipe Systems, we specialise in fabricating polyethylene (PE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping systems. Our fabrication service supports industries across New Zealand, from civil and infrastructure to irrigation, industrial process systems, and beyond. So, what exactly is pipe fabrication—and how can it improve the way your project comes together? Defining Pipe Fabrication Pipe fabrication is the process of preparing and assembling pipe components into custom-built configurations—ready for installation on-site. Pipe fabrication typically involves: Cutting the pipe to specific lengths Joining the pipe and fittings using advanced welding techniques Assembling prefabricated spools, manifolds, junctions, and other custom components
