Process Piping Services in Utah

Professional Process Piping Services for Industrial Facilities

LongHorn Industrial Contractors provides professional process piping services for industrial and commercial facilities throughout Utah. Process piping systems are critical to the safe and efficient movement of steam, water, compressed air, chemicals, gases, and other process media that keep operations running. Whether you’re constructing a new facility, expanding production, replacing aging infrastructure, or upgrading existing systems, our experienced millwrights, certified welders, and piping specialists deliver code-compliant process piping solutions built for long-term performance, reliability, and safety.

From material selection and fabrication to installation and testing, we provide complete process piping services tailored to your facility’s operational requirements.

Carbon Steel Piping

Carbon steel is the most common and cost-effective choice for high-pressure, high-temperature industrial service. It is used for steam lines, process piping, oil & gas transport, compressed air, hydraulic systems, and structural supports (Schedule 40, 80, and higher wall thicknesses).

As part of our process piping services, we install carbon steel piping systems that are engineered for demanding industrial environments where strength, durability, and long service life are critical.

Welding Processes

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW / Stick) – Primary method for field fabrication and repairs.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW / TIG) – Used for root passes to ensure full penetration and high-quality internal bead.
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW / MIG) and Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) – Faster fill passes for productivity on larger projects. All welders are ASME Section IX qualified, and procedures are qualified to the applicable B31 code. We perform 100% visual inspection, and non-destructive testing (x-ray, magnetic particle, or ultrasonic) testing through qualified partners when required.
Orbital Welding (Automatic TIG) – Produces consistent, crevice-free, sanitary internal welds with full penetration and minimal heat-affected zone. Ideal for straight runs and repeatable quality.
Manual TIG Welding – Used for complex fittings, branches, and field modifications by our highly skilled sanitary welders while meeting applicable code welding standards.

Stainless Steel Sanitary / Hygienic Piping

Sanitary piping is required wherever cleanliness and clean-in-place (CIP) capability are critical—including food processing, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotech facilities. We fabricate and install 304L and 316L stainless-steel tubing (typically 1–6 inches) with polished or electropolished finishes.

Our process piping services include sanitary piping systems that help facilities maintain product quality, regulatory compliance, and efficient production.

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) Piping

HDPE is lightweight, flexible, and highly resistant to chemicals, abrasion, and corrosion. It is ideal for potable water, wastewater, chemical transfer, slurry lines, natural gas distribution, and buried or above-ground industrial piping.

Joining Methods

Butt Fusion & Electrofusion Welding – The preferred heat-fusion process creates a monolithic, leak-free joint stronger than the pipe itself.
Mechanical Joints – Flanges, MJ couplings, compression fittings, or transition adapters for quick connections to valves, pumps, or other piping materials.

Copper Piping

Copper tubing (Type K, L, M) offers excellent thermal conductivity and natural corrosion resistance. It is widely used in commercial HVAC, plumbing, process cooling lines, and industrial heat-exchange applications.

Joining Methods

Soldering (Soft Solder) – For standard water and low-pressure lines.
Silver Brazing / Hard Solder – For higher-temperature and higher-pressure applications.
ProPress® Mechanical Press-Fit System – Flame-free press connections that reduce installation time and eliminate hot-work permits in many occupied facilities.

PVC, CPVC, and Other Thermoplastic Piping

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – Schedule 40/80 pipe for cold-water service, drainage, irrigation, chemical transport, and cooling tower lines.
CPVC (Chlorinated PVC) – Designed for hot water and higher-temperature chemical applications.
PEX, ABS, and Specialty Plastics – Used where flexibility or specialized chemical resistance is required.

Joining Methods

Solvent-cement welding
Threaded, flanged, or mechanical grooved connections

These systems are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and efficient for many industrial and commercial applications.

Additional Industrial & Commercial Piping Systems we install:
