Fabricated Piping Spools for Oil, Gas, Power Plants and Other Industrial Use
LPF developed its spool tracking application in 2012, implementing it on two major projects—first with Kuwait Oil Company’s gathering centre, where over 1058 fabricated piping spools were successfully tracked and managed. This technological leap enabled LPF to streamline spool fabrication and documentation, establishing a reliable digital backbone for future projects. Since then, the system has evolved to integrate material traceability and quality assurance documentation, significantly enhancing project transparency and control.
Over time, this capability has helped LPF become a go-to partner for fabricated piping spools for oil, gas, power plants, and various industrial applications. It also positioned LPF as a trusted provider of high-performance pipe fittings, including High Moly Nickel fittings for demanding industrial environments, precision-engineered titanium pipe fittings, and durable stainless steel (SS) fittings, all customized to meet rigorous project specifications across global industries.

DOCUMENT CONTROL
The LPF Document Control application makes available PDF versions of the current revision and revision history of each isometric and spool drawing, as well as engineered tagged item data sheets, materials test reports, LDT tables, weld procedures and pipe support data sheets. Remote access capability allows users to view and print the documents from any location.
The application also helps manage engineering holds, as drawings placed on hold display the hold or RFI notice with related dates of hold notification.
The spool fabrication application provides listing and reporting to identify spools for which drawing revisions were issued after shipments or fabrication completion.

Assembly should be done precisely, and there is no room for mistakes.
- It is done off-site in a controlled environment.
- It'll reduce the construction time.
- The quality of the work is easier to manage
- Fabrication in facilities minimizes production delays.
Pipe spools are fabricated off-site to cut down on assembly time with various raw pipes and pipe fittings.
They include flanges, elbows, tees, and more.
Raw pipes are pre-cut to precise sizes together with pipe fittings and other components.
They are temporarily fitted together, and this partially finished sub-assembly is welded with other spool components.
The pipe spooling process can be grouped into two phases; spool roll fitting and welding and spool permanent position fitting and welding.
Spool roll fitting and welding turn the main pipe using a rolling machine.
The fitter does not need to alter his position to perform the task.
In spool position fitting and welding, portions of the main pipe go beyond the clearance limit.
This forces the fitter to move around the main pipe to complete the fitting and welding process.
This makes spool position fitting and welding a longer process than spool roll fitting and welding.
Decreasing the number of spool position fittings and welding is one of the pipe spool fabrication sequencing objectives.
