Two years. Nearly every line in the plant.
When BWSC needed a new-build biomass power station piped, KBVI was first trade on site and stayed for two years, through fire mains, process lines and final test.

What KBVI puts in the ground.
Six disciplines, one crew. KBVI has stood on every job on this list, so the scope is what it says and nothing is farmed out that should not be.
Where KBVI works.
The same crew and the same standard across steel, power, process and heavy industry, on sites at home and overseas.
How a KBVI job runs.
Survey & set out
Read the drawings, walk the site, plan access and set out the runs before anything is cut.
Fabricate
Spools fabricated in carbon or stainless, small bore to large diameter, ready to drop in.
Install
Runs installed to line and level on live sites, working around the other trades, not through them.
Weld & test
TIG and coded welding, then pressure test and inspection so the plant can be signed off.
Handover
Snag, mark up and hand the system over clean, with the pipework in and proven.
Coded weldingPressure testedHanded over clean

A contractor who turns up and delivers.
Power-station standard
Fire mains and process lines built to code on live plants for main contractors who cannot afford a failure.

Often the first trade on site and one of the last, because nothing starts up until the pipework is tested.

Questions before you send the drawings.
The things main contractors and site managers ask most often.
What kind of pipework does KBVI take on?
Stainless and carbon steel fabrication, process lines, fire hydrant lines and suppression, HVAC, and the full run of plant lines: ammonia, demin, cooling water, steam, oil, hydraulic and argon. Small bore up to large diameter.
Are your welders coded?
Yes. TIG and coded welding on carbon and stainless process and cooling lines, including furnace pipework for Rolls-Royce. Welds are pressure tested and inspected before sign-off.
Do you work on live sites?
Regularly. Much of the work is on running plants and live power-station builds, fitted in alongside whoever else is on site. On refits we strip out and refit existing plant while the site keeps operating.
Where will you travel?
KBVI is based in Scunthorpe and mobilises anywhere. Jobs already on the record run from the steelworks on the doorstep to Sheffield, Sandwich in Kent and Hamilton in Bermuda.
