Integrated Manufacturing
One Manufacturing Partner for the Complete Build
Bringing structural, mechanical, electrical, control, quality, and shipping preparation under one partner keeps the build coordinated and accountability in one place.
- One partner for skid or enclosure fabrication, equipment integration, quality assurance, and shipping preparation
- Better coordination between structural, mechanical, electrical, and control components
- Fewer suppliers and project handoffs to manage
- Integration issues identified and addressed during the build
- Completed systems assembled and checked before transport
- Clearer project communication and accountability

From Project Requirements to a
Fully Integrated Industrial System
A look at how AFS takes a developed project and delivers a complete, integrated system.
- Challenge
- The client had a developed project but no internal manufacturing facility or multidisciplinary team to complete the build.
- AFS Scope
- AFS manufactured the structural skid, pipe spools, vessels, and electrical panels, then integrated the components into one complete system.
- Integration Value
- The client worked with one manufacturing partner to coordinate the structural, mechanical, piping, vessel, and electrical elements of the build.
- Deliverable
- A completed integrated skid-mounted or containerized system prepared for delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions before you reach out.
What information does AFS need to review a project?
Drawings, specifications, performance requirements, timelines, or system goals all help. Even a partial package is enough to start. Share what you have through the form and AFS will follow up.
Can an NDA be completed before drawings are shared?
Yes. An NDA can be completed after the initial conversation, before you share confidential drawings or specifications.
Can AFS manufacture from existing drawings and specifications?
Yes. AFS builds to your drawings, specifications, or defined performance requirements, from fabrication-only scopes through to fully integrated systems.
Can AFS manufacture both skid-mounted and containerized systems?
Yes. AFS builds skid-mounted systems, modified containers, and custom enclosures, along with individual components and fully integrated assemblies.
Can AFS modify shipping containers or fabricate custom enclosures?
Yes. AFS modifies single-use and custom containers and fabricates custom enclosures, including insulation, paneling, access points, basic electrical, lighting, heating, and finishing.
What structural, insulation, access, and finishing options are available?
Options include project-specific structural configuration, lifting lugs and forklift pockets, base and panel insulation, doors, windows, and access panels, wall paneling, and interior and exterior painting to specification.
Can AFS integrate piping, vessels, electrical panels, controls, and industrial equipment?
Yes. AFS integrates pressure piping and vessels, electrical and control panels, stainless-steel and control tubing, control circuits, and equipment such as pumps, motors, generators, heat exchangers, and boilers.
What testing, inspection, certification, and documentation options are available?
Depending on the project, options include inspection and test plans, factory acceptance testing, point-to-point electrical testing, and methods such as radiographic, magnetic particle, and visual testing and positive material identification, with certifications applied as required.
Can customers supply materials or equipment for AFS to manage and integrate?
Yes. AFS works with customer-supplied materials, AFS-purchased materials, blended supply, and AFS-managed customer materials, integrating them into the build.
Can AFS prepare completed systems for shipping and coordinate logistics?
Yes. Completed systems are assembled and checked, then prepared for transport, with options such as boat wrapping, tarping, and logistics support.
Which geographic markets does AFS serve?
AFS operates from its facility in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Share your project location through the form and AFS will advise on manufacturing, delivery, and logistics.
