Industrial Prefabrication
To support the growing demands of the Northwest Indiana and Joliet industrial corridors, AMS operates a strategically located fabrication facility in East Chicago, IN. This facility includes 60,000 square feet of climate-controlled space, along with additional buildings for storage, material laydown, preparation, and specialized coating applications. Complementing this location are our corporate facilities in Woodridge, IL, which support our industrial prefabrication, commercial piping, plumbing, and sheet metal fabrication capabilities. Together, these facilities provide more than 160,000 square feet of dedicated fabrication space, allowing AMS to deliver efficient, high-quality solutions tailored to each project. All operations are performed under the U.A. National Pipe Fabrication Agreement and utilize blended crews to improve cost efficiency and maintain project schedules.
Commitment to Quality and Precision
AMS maintains full-time, in-house QA/QC management to ensure consistency and quality across every project. Our team provides comprehensive document control, including welder testing and certification, material test reports, procurement documentation, and weld map traceability for real-time tracking. We follow established welding standards and processes such as SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW, along with any client-specific requirements. In addition, we offer in-house engineering, piping design, project scheduling, and detailed isometric and spool drawing verification, ensuring accuracy and reliability from planning through fabrication.
