Installation of Process & Services Piping
Process Piping
Process piping is a core strength of MPF Engineering. We deliver fabrication and installation across the full spectrum of process industries — petrochemical, oil and gas, geothermal, power generation, dairy, and heavy manufacturing — applying current best-practice techniques to pipework that has to perform under pressure, temperature, and corrosive duty without compromise.
Our pipefitters and welders work in carbon steel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys, with a dedicated stainless department running hygienic and food-grade piping to ASME B31.3, AS 4041, and the relevant industry standards.
Whether the spec calls for a high-pressure steam header, a duplex acid line, or a polished CIP loop, the same discipline applies at every weld — qualified procedures, ticketed welders, full traceability.
Quality Assurance & Compliance
Quality assurance underpins every metre of pipe we fabricate, install, and maintain. Our pipefitters and welders are qualified to ASME IX and the New Zealand and Australian pressure piping standards across a broad range of materials, with ongoing training, retesting, and recertification keeping qualifications current and project-ready.
Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system drives comprehensive inspection and test regimes — including NDT (radiography, ultrasonic, dye penetrant, magnetic particle) and hydrostatic testing of pipelines, vessels, and tanks.
Specialist data capture equipment is used through fabrication, installation, and commissioning to deliver fully conforming product with the documentation trail to prove it.

FAQ
What types of process piping systems does MPF Engineering install?
MPF Engineering installs a wide range of process and services piping systems, including geothermal pipelines, petroleum and oil & gas pipelines, pressure and steam/condensate systems, hygienic stainless steel tube, acid pipelines, firewater and foam systems, jacketed steam pipelines, and pipe bridges. Our experience spans multiple industrial sectors and complex operating environments.
What materials does MPF Engineering work with for process piping?
We manufacture and install pipework in carbon steel, stainless steel, and exotic alloys. Our stainless steel department specialises in hygienic and food-grade piping, while our broader capability includes materials suitable for high-pressure, corrosive, and high-temperature applications.
Which standards and codes do your process piping installations comply with?
All process piping works are completed in accordance with applicable standards, including ASME IX welding procedures and relevant ASME piping codes, along with New Zealand and Australian standards where required. Compliance is verified through qualified personnel, approved procedures, and documented inspection and testing processes.
How does MPF Engineering ensure quality and compliance on piping projects?
Quality assurance is integral to every piping project we deliver. Our ISO 9001:2015 quality management system incorporates Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), weld qualification and traceability, Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), hydrostatic testing, and full project documentation. This ensures all installations meet client, regulatory, and industry requirements.
