Nova Engineering and Fabrication Facility

Nova’s AISC-Certified fabrication shop and in-house engineering staff provide a significant value to our customers. 

AISC certification is only conferred on operations which have the facilities, experienced and properly trained personnel, organization, tools, and quality controls in place to meet the rigorous AISC standards.  Our shop has demonstrated year after year that it meets those standards providing us with the ability to fabricate structural steel for complex applications at a substantial cost and time savings for our customers. Even more impressive is the safety record for the shop which has gone more than five years without a single lost time accident!

Nova also holds certifications through ASME and government agencies to manufacture pre-insulated piping systems, containment piping, and prefabricated piping, with extensive experience in the design and fabrication of double containment piping systems.  We have engineered, manufactured, and installed over one million feet of Class A steam and condensate piping systems and are the only company in the United States that both manufactures and installs these systems.

To support the fabrication shop and field operations, Nova has an in-house engineering staff consisting of licensed mechanical and civil engineers and detailers.  They provide technical assistance to project teams, assist with design development on Design/Build projects, and produce engineering, shop and as-built drawings using AutoCAD and 3D AutoCAD. 

We also design and manufacture our own patented hydrant fueling pits, providing us with more control over quality and the project schedule.  To date, Nova has manufactured and installed over 350 fueling system pits, including 174 hydrant pits and 27 isolation valve pits. In addition, Nova has over 20 years of experience with Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) manufacturing in the production of aircraft ground service pits and piping systems.
