Industrial capabilities · Europe
Piping & pipefitting teams.
Pipefitters and piping installation crews for workshop spool fabrication, marine pipework and industrial process systems across Europe.
RAM supports fabrication, assembly, installation, repair and modification work. Choose additional trades within your organisation or an agreed work package delivered with RAM coordination.

The work
Piping scopes across fabrication, installation and repair.
Workshop fabrication and assembly
RAM’s published capability includes spool fabrication and piping assembly for marine and process-industry work. Therefore, workshop output must fit the installation plan. The trades and documents must also match the next stage of work.
Installation, tie-ins and modification
Pipefitters support installation and modification of process and utility systems on plant, terminals and offshore assets. Before work starts, define the tie-in areas, access, sequence and responsibilities.
Marine piping renewal
For example, ship repair and dry-dock work can combine piping renewal with other trades in the same access window. RAM’s marine capability covers piping fabrication, installation, repair and modification in workshops and onboard environments.
Marine services covers the wider vessel scope. Riding squads addresses onboard deployment, while oil & gas services covers industrial fabrication, maintenance and shutdown settings.
Interfaces and documentation
Make the work front clear before mobilisation.
First, identify the system, location, drawings, installation or repair scope, required trades and programme. For a shutdown or dry dock, include the access window and the work that must be completed within it.
Where the package includes welding, identify the process, material and qualification range separately from the pipefitting requirement. See welding and fabrication for RAM’s published processes and the distinction between WPS, WPQR and individual welder qualification.
Also define who supplies materials, directs the sequence and accepts the completed work. Tell us whether inspection, testing or commissioning is part of the requested package; a request for pipefitters alone does not define those responsibilities.
Before mobilisation, RAM checks personnel and project documents against the stated requirements. Site access, HSE requirements and supervision form part of the mobilisation discussion.
Delivery and evidence
The right delivery model for the scope.
Workforce solutions
RAM supplies pipefitters or crews within your site organisation. Your team directs execution; RAM handles employment, documentation, mobilisation and workforce administration.
Technical subcontracting
In contrast, for a defined fabrication, installation or modification package, RAM coordinates the agreed trades and supervision against the contracted deliverables, interfaces and acceptance criteria.
Published piping work
RAM’s anonymized cruise-vessel dry-dock pipework case study provides approved photographic evidence of installed pipework, valves and supports. Browse the project portfolio or review the newbuild and ship repair capability.
Industrial process pipework
Recent project photographs document stainless steel brewery piping and welding in Denmark, winery storage tanks and pipework in Romania, and superduplex desalination tank fabrication in Norway. These records show different materials and work environments. However, RAM reviews each new piping assignment against its own drawings, qualifications and acceptance requirements.
Frequently asked questions
- What piping work does RAM support?
- Spool fabrication and assembly, installation, tie-ins and modification of process and utility systems, and marine piping renewal in workshops, shipyards and onboard.
- Is inspection, testing or commissioning included?
- Only if it is agreed in the package. Tell RAM whether inspection, testing or commissioning is part of the scope; it should not be assumed from a request for pipefitters.
- Can RAM supply pipefitters into our team?
- Yes. Under workforce solutions your organisation directs execution and RAM handles employment, documentation, mobilisation and workforce administration. Under technical subcontracting RAM coordinates the trades and supervision for a defined scope, against the deliverables, interfaces and acceptance criteria set out in the contract.
- Is there evidence of RAM's piping work?
- Yes. RAM's anonymised cruise-vessel dry-dock pipework case study shows installed pipework, valves and supports.
Start with the work
Define the scope before the headcount.
Send the project location, work environment, required disciplines and mobilisation window. In addition, include any available drawings or specifications and tell us who will direct the work. RAM can then discuss the delivery model, documentation and workforce needed for the assignment.
