Our Competencies: Fabrication and Manufacturing Assembly

Fabrication Done Right: Precision, Speed, and Quality

In today’s fast-paced world of HVAC, mechanical, and electrical manufacturing, the importance of precision cannot be overstated. The adage “Measure twice, cut once” has never been more relevant, and Helm is fully committed to ensuring that every aspect of our design, fabrication, and installation is executed with the highest level of accuracy. We embrace technology early and often across all divisions, and HVAC/Mechanical/Electrical manufacturing is no exception.

Our 200,000 square feet of fabrication, modularization, and assembly space are at the forefront of modern advanced manufacturing. While many contractors talk about implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) and other high-tech solutions, few have the infrastructure, software, or talent to execute on such promises. Helm has made these innovations a reality, thanks to our dedication to state-of-the-art technology, infrastructure, and team development.

A Seamless, Transparent Fabrication Process

Helm’s fabrication process uses a combination of in-house and industry-leading software, delivering real-time data on deliveries, productivity, and quality. Each component is tracked from fabrication to installation, ensuring that our teams and clients are always informed on the status of their project.

Collaborative Modularization for Maximum Efficiency

From the early stages of each project, modularization is prioritized. In collaboration with project partners, we identify the most efficient and effective solutions for every design. With cutting-edge automated tooling and software (some of which Helm helped develop), we leverage BIM to plan off site prefabrication, logistics, and delivery with unmatched precision. This “just in time” approach eliminates waste on-site, enhances safety, and drives both efficiency and quality.

Prefabricated pipe and duct systems are nearly fully assembled in our fabrication shops and shipped to job sites for rapid, accurate installation. This approach reduces waste, improves safety, and ensures higher quality, all while meeting tight deadlines.
