Epic Piping, whose fabrication capabilities include stainless steel, carbon steel, duplex steels, nickel based alloys and more, recently officially opened its steel fabrication plant in Livingston, Louisiana. To secure the project, the State of Louisiana offered Epic a comprehensive incentive package that includes: a performance-based USD $1.8 million Economic Development Award Program grant to offset site infrastructure costs; and the comprehensive solutions of LED FastStart®, a state workforce development program.
In addition to advanced instrumentation, Epic Piping is providing an all-air-conditioned facility throughout the manufacturing space. Cloud-based software systems also are driving documentation of all fabrication, administrative and distribution steps, leading to a paperless manufacturing process. The manufacturing plan will operate in conjunction with affiliated manufacturing locations in San Marcos, Texas, and the United Arab Emirates.
