Why Maplevale Fabrications?

Why Contractors Choose Our Data Center Fabrication Services

There’s no room for guesswork when even the smallest errors can lead to costly field modifications and setbacks during installation or commissioning.

Maplevale’s off-site data center fabrication​ process combines in-house Revit MEP detailing with dimensional checks and shop trial fitting. By completing more fabrication in a controlled environment, we help reduce field rework and the demands placed on your installation crews.

Our experience includes complex process piping, cooling piping, and glycol systems delivered under demanding schedules. We bring this extensive fabrication expertise directly to your data center construction project, delivering scalable solutions that maximize value, optimize costs, and adhere to your critical infrastructure requirements.

We fabricate carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum components to meet compliance standards under:

  • CWB certification
  • NSF/ANSI 61 facility certification
  • TSSA registration
  • CSA B51
  • ASME B31.1
  • ASME B31.3
  • NSF/ANSI 61

Fast-Turn Lead Times

Maplevale offers typical lead times of 2–3 weeks on many custom fabrication orders and can accommodate urgent work or revised priorities where shop capacity allows.

Revit MEP Detailing In-House

Our Revit MEP detailing identifies conflicts among data center piping, equipment connections, structural supports, and surrounding systems before fabrication begins, ensuring components meet tight tolerances.

Sketch to Fabrication

Not all projects start with a complete set of engineering drawings. Unlike most shops, we work with your field dimensions or sketches to develop proper fabrication drawings.

UA Local 46 & 67 Signatory

Maplevale is a signatory to UA Local 67 and UA Local 46, the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipefitting Industry of the United States and Canada.

How It Works

Our Data Center Fabrication Process

Our manufacturing workflow follows the same documented process across our shop, adapted to the rigorous demands of your data center infrastructure.

01

Drawing and System Review

Send us the mechanical drawings, piping specifications, equipment connection details, and project schedule. We’ll review the package and scope the fabrication work from there.

03

Material Procurement

We source piping, fittings, and structural materials in line with your approved specifications. Materials are checked upon arrival, with supporting records maintained where traceability is required.

Cutting, Forming, & Fit-Up

Components are cut, formed, and fitted to the approved drawings. We check critical dimensions and trial-fit applicable assemblies to verify alignment before welding, preventing issues during on-site construction.

Inspection & Quality Control

Completed welds and assemblies undergo the required inspections and testing. Dimensional checks, visual inspections, and any specified additional testing support quality control and safety performance.

Post-Weld Treatment

Where required, stainless-steel components are pickled and passivated. Carbon-steel components receive the specified preparation or finish before final inspection and shipment.

Documentation & Delivery

Finished components receive a final quality assurance check and identification tagging before shipping via Maplevale’s flatbed, tri-axle stepdeck, or five-ton fleet, or installation on-site through our mobile welding service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of piping can Maplevale fabricate for data center infrastructure?

Maplevale provides custom data center steel fabrication for mechanical and industrial applications. Potential data center applications include chilled-water, condenser-water, glycol, and other liquid cooling infrastructure where the materials, specifications, and fabrication requirements align with our capabilities.

As data centers adopt higher-density computing technology and explore liquid cooling, process piping requirements continue to evolve. We review each project to confirm the scope, applicable standards, and fabrication requirements before proceeding.

Can off-site fabrication help accelerate data center construction?

Shop fabrication can reduce the amount of work to be completed on-site, particularly for projects with congested mechanical spaces, limited on-site resources, or remote locations.

By fabricating piping assemblies in a controlled environment and checking critical dimensions before shipment, Maplevale helps accelerate data center construction, reduce logistical challenges, and enable faster deployment.

Can Maplevale fabricate piping for data center expansions and retrofits?

Yes. Maplevale can support custom piping packages, cooling system upgrades, retrofits, and replacement work for data center facilities. Whether you’re adding new data center capacity to existing facilities or preparing process piping for future expansion, we fabricate to the approved design and specified connection requirements.

Can Maplevale account for piping insulation and thermal movement?

Yes. Maplevale fabricates piping to engineered isometrics, including expansion loops, guides, anchors, and other thermal movement provisions specified in the drawings. Our job is to meet the required dimensions and tolerances, while the project engineer determines where these components belong. We also account for insulation clearances during fabrication, identifying potential conflicts with supports, hangers, and adjacent components.

Has Maplevale completed projects with similar piping requirements for data center demand?

Maplevale has completed several boiler piping and glycol heating systems, including work with cold-weather scheduling requirements. These projects provide relevant experience in custom data center piping fabrication and schedule-sensitive work, whether for entire facilities or site-wide expansions. Contact our team to discuss examples comparable to your project’s scope.

How does Maplevale help prevent pipe fit-up problems during installation?

Maplevale uses detailed shop drawings, dimensional checks, and, where applicable, shop trial fittings to verify that fabricated assemblies align with approved project requirements. Our team also considers specified equipment connections, structural supports, and installation clearances to help reduce the need for field modifications during data center construction.

Can Maplevale fabricate components for modular data center systems?

Yes. Our off-site manufacturing process includes custom piping assemblies, pipe spools, structural supports, and equipment frames for integration into modular mechanical systems and pre-assembled modules. For contractors using off-site construction methods, prefabricated components can reduce the amount of cutting, fitting, and welding required on-site.

If your data center construction requires complete prefabricated modules, send us the engineered drawings and assembly requirements. We’ll review the scope and confirm which fabrication work Maplevale can support.
