Four locations, one programHouston, China, Vietnam, Mexico

We run the fabrication program. You run the project.

Hylex takes complete ownership of fabrication execution for EPC companies and asset owners. Engineering, global procurement, fabrication and project controls, under one owner from concept to commissioning.

What we do

One partner, the whole lifecycle

Four disciplines under one owner, so nothing falls between a designer, a buyer and a workshop.

Engineering and design

Fabrication ready execution

Detailed shop drawings, 3D models, clash checks and datasheets, from FEED through as built.

Procurement

Global sourcing under one owner

Vendor qualification, audits, commercial negotiation, expediting and logistics coordination across China, Vietnam and Mexico.

Fabrication delivery

Pipe spools to complete modules

Pipe spooling, pressure vessels, structural steel, platework and turnkey skid systems through a network of qualified workshops.

Project controls

Progress you can see

Real time weld inch tracking, fabrication dashboards, NDE reporting, material traceability and digital manufacturing record books.

Scale

What the network can take on

Capacity held across the hubs, available to one program without you qualifying a single workshop.

250,000+Dia-inches of pipe spooling per month across the workshops
50,000+Tons a year of structural steel and platework
8 m / 150 mmVessel diameter and wall thickness, single units over 300 tons
1,000 to 3,000 tPre assembled modules, up to 32 m in length

Nameplate capacity declared by the partner workshops and checked on audit. It is capacity available to your program, not Hylex output.

Global network

Houston decides. The hubs build.

Houston holds the client interface, the engineering coordination and the procurement. The fabrication hubs carry the capacity, the yards and the load out.

The record book

At load out you get this, not a coordination problem

Everything signed over on that sheet closes into one manufacturing data record. Every hold point, every certificate and every test ends up in the book, so the asset arrives with its own history attached.

Manufacturing data recordContents, as issued at handover
  1. ITPInspection and test plan, every hold point signed
  2. WPSWelding procedures and procedure qualification records
  3. WQTWelder qualification certificates against the procedures used
  4. MTRMaterial test reports, traced to the heat number on the piece
  5. NDERadiography, ultrasonic, magnetic particle and dye penetrant reports
  6. DIMDimensional and fit up reports
  7. PTPressure and leak test records
  8. DFTSurface preparation, film thickness and adhesion records
  9. ABAs built drawings with the red lines integrated
  10. NCRNon conformance reports and how each one was closed

Fabrication stops being your problem to manage because the proof of it leaves with the steel. No procurement, inspection or fabrication specialists on your staff. One team owning cost, schedule, quality and compliance. One progress picture instead of a spreadsheet from every shop.
