What “Equipment Setting & Steel Fabrication” Means at DePue
We don’t just drop pieces and bolt them in. Our approach is turnkey: from shop to site, we align, weld, plumb, and verify. You benefit from:
- Precision layout & alignment for rotating machinery,
tanks, pumps, and vessels - Custom structural steel frames, supports & skids
- Field fabrication and weld works matched to
drawing tolerance - Heavy lift rigging & positioning using cranes, jacks,
and precision tools - Full mechanical tie‑ins (piping, utilities, control systems)
- Final survey check & performance verification

Built for Industrial Environments
Every job we take — from food plants to chemical, to manufacturing — is treated with the discipline of engineering + the pragmatism of field crews. We understand:
- The challenge of retrofits in live operations
- Tight tolerances combined with daily vibration
- Heavy loads, thermal expansion, and support dynamics
- Coordination with multiple trades
- Shutdown windows and phasing constraints

Project Highlight
- Project: Equipment Relocation & Steel Support Rework
- Scope: New processing module had to be shifted, aligned,
and integrated into existing piping & utilities. - What We Did: Built a custom steel support frame, rigged
the module into place with millimeter precision, connected
piping systems, and verified full alignment under load. - Result: Zero downtime at handoff, leak-free integration,
and smooth startup.

How the Process Works
- Site survey & measurement – we verify field tolerances
and conditions - Detail design & shop fabrication – steel parts, supports,
modules built to spec - Rigging & mobilization plan – logistics, lift sequences,
safety planning - Field installation & erection – align, weld, bolt, secure,
and integrate - System tie-ins & commissioning – plumbing, utilities,
control interfaces - Final verification & documentation – alignment reports,
as-builts, sign-off

FAQs
Q: What size equipment can you set?
We routinely handle the setting and installation of modules, tanks, process vessels, and industrial machinery—often weighing multiple tons. Our rigging plans adapt to your site’s specific constraints, load paths, and installation sequencing.
Q: Do you provide structural steel and supports?
Yes. We fabricate and install structural steel frames, machinery supports, pipe brackets, and custom skids. Every component is built to spec in our shop and installed with high alignment precision in the field.
Q: Can you work during plant shutdowns?
Absolutely. We specialize in shutdown-critical scopes. Our team works around your operations using modular delivery schedules, shift work, and fast-track rigging to minimize downtime and avoid production delays.
Q: How do you ensure alignment and vibration control?
We use laser levels, precision shims, heavy-duty jacks, and dynamic load checks to confirm equipment is aligned to manufacturer specs. Our process also includes vibration mitigation strategies and long-term performance verification.
