Plant Piping Installations
Your compressed air piping system has a large impact on the performance and energy efficiency of your system. Our installers know how to properly size and configure compressed air piping for optimal results, using a “loop” header configuration to increase flow capacity and minimize pressure drop.

Our Installation Procedure
We use scientific principles and a repeatable installation process for a smooth air compressor installation, from start to finish.
We start by asking questions and collecting data to understand your compressed air demand, facility constraints and expectations.
The data is used to right-size your equipment for maximum efficiency, including compressor(s), dryers, inline filtration, and distribution system.
We help you plan timelines, budgets and installation activities, including proper equipment placement, ventilation, electrical requirements, and more.
Our team will arrive with all the proper lifting, rigging, electrical, and piping connections to get your system up and running as quickly as possible. Our installers follow all applicable OSHA requirements to ensure their safety and yours.
After installation, we start it all up and make sure everything meets your performance expectations.
We offer training for your maintenance team so they can keep your equipment in tip-top shape.

What size air compressor do you need for a mechanic shop?
Air compressor sizing depends on the number of air-using tools you are running simultaneously, the peak air demand for your operations, the PSI requirements of pneumatic tools, and the overall efficiency of your compressed air system. Most vehicle service, mechanic and auto repair shops use an air compressor between 5HP and 30HP. Most shops will also want an air receiver tank to meet intermittent short bursts of high demand (e.g., for blow-off or when using certain pneumatic tools). We can help you right-size your air compressor for maximum performance, efficiency and cost savings. Read more about air compressor sizing.
How much does it cost to install a new compressor?
Installation costs for a compressed air system depend on the size of the compressor, the difficulty of the installation and the range of work to be completed. Are we simply installing a new air compressor, or are we installing a full compressed air system including distribution piping, air dryers, inline filtration and other elements? Your installation quote will include everything needed for the job, including travel time, technician time, parts and supplies, so there are no surprises.
How long does it take to install an air compressor?
Typically, it will take 2-3 hours to install and commission a new air compressor. However, depending on factors such as removal of old equipment, location, mechanical hook-up availability, rigging path, etc. it may take longer.
