Prefabrication
Specialized and Efficient In-House Fabrication Services
In-House Prefabrication at F.E. Moran
F.E. Moran utilizes in-house prefabrication to increase efficiency and productivity. Our skilled trades prefabricate sprinkler systems, control panels, plumbing assemblies, industrial piping systems, and sheet metal assemblies in our state-of-the-art fabrication shop to allow F.E. Moran to complete fast-paced projects ahead of schedule. Working in a controlled environment increases quality and reduces waste.
Our dedicated shop personnel ensure that our field personnel continue working without material shortages. Our custom software allows concise coordination of field personnel, office managers, and suppliers to meet just-in-time, delivering with the precision building owners and general contractors demand.
Benefits of In-House Prefabrication
