PREFABRICATION AT THE FACTORY
Piping can be fabricated and assembled in many kinds of conditions. Those conditions shape how the schedule holds, how safely the work gets done, and what the documentation can prove. Ardor's three production sites in Raisio were built for exactly this purpose: prefabricating piping in standardized factory conditions.
Bring us in at the design stage
When we get involved in early design phases of the project, material choices, fabrication techniques, and the sequence of operations can still be shaped before they're locked in. That translates directly into lower cost across the project's whole lifecycle. Our production management and digital tools make pricing and delivery times available quickly, without slow manual processing of bills of materials.
Manufacturing and logistics
Piping is manufactured in Raisio under standardized, digitally controlled, fully traceable conditions. Ardor runs its own transport fleet, which means delivery doesn't wait on an outside freight company at a critical moment.
Deliveries are timed to the rhythm of the site, and when the schedule shifts, we respond fast. Our location serves all of Finland and international destinations perfectly.
Installation and commissioning
Install-ready work packages mean less work on site. Our own installers know the methods and are used to adapting quickly when things change.
Our project management capability is what makes that flexibility possible - and it's what partners and other members of the supply chain consistently thank us for.
Small batches and large assemblies
The Raisio factories can bend pipe from 15 mm to 200 mm in diameter and CNC plasma-cut from 50 mm all the way up to 900 mm. Welding capacity covers both small-batch production and large project assemblies. Shot blasting of pipe interiors and exteriors is done on our own premises.
4,000 pipe spools per month
A single shift produces about four thousand pipe spools per month. Capacity can be expanded with a second shift when the project requires it.
Modular construction and fabrication techniques
The factory's machinery covers cutting, profile cutting, bending, and welding, but what matters most isn't any single operation, it's how they're combined into a controlled whole. That's why modular construction sits at the center of what we do.
Modular construction brings control and speed
In modular construction, an entire process package: piping, equipment, and steel structures is assembled at the factory and delivered as a single install-ready unit.
In factory conditions, the work moves to plan, quality stays consistent, and the load on the site goes down. The result is fewer installation hours, fewer surprises, and faster commissioning.
The largest sections we've delivered were over 46 meters long and weighed nearly 100,000 kilograms.
Pipe bending makes precise shapes possible without extra welded joints. With fewer joints, there's also less to inspect.
We have a comprehensive range of cutting, profile-cutting, bending, and welding techniques to meet even the most demanding piping specifications.
Our partner runs NDT inspections on our own premises. Inspection scope is scaled to project requirements. When inspection happens under the same roof, the schedule isn't held hostage by an external inspection body.
ISO 3834-2 certified welding
Our welding quality management meets the requirements of the most comprehensive level. Every welding process is documented, and every welder is qualified for the task.
Documentation ships with the delivery
Inspection records, material certificates, and welding documentation travel with the delivery digitally. The client doesn't have to ask for them separately.
Digitally controlled production
The entire factory runs on PipeCloud - a production management system we built because nothing on the market did the job. Cut lists, material lots, work queues, and inspections all flow through the same system. Every operator works from a tablet, and every step is logged in real time.
Full traceability
Every pipe, joint, and weld is traceable. Documentation is generated automatically as the work progresses, not pulled together in a rush at the end of the project. If something needs to be checked years later, the record is there.
Minimizing material waste
PipeCloud optimizes material use computationally. When every cut is planned digitally, off-cuts shrink, and surplus material is logged into the system and routed back into use.
Piping can be fabricated and assembled in many kinds of conditions. Those conditions shape how the schedule holds, how safely the work gets done, and what the documentation can prove. Our three production sites in Raisio were built for exactly this purpose: prefabricating piping in standardized factory conditions.
Konsantie prefabrication factory
4,500 square meters of modern production space, where most of our work happens: from bending and cutting through to welding and inspection. A heated warehouse, office space, and a large yard make it possible to run big projects smoothly as a team.
Teräskatu — modules and assembly
800 square meters for modular solutions and large assemblies. Overhead cranes built for heavy lifting make it possible to construct large process packages at the factory. From here, an install-ready module heads to the site as a single piece.
Sahakatu — industrial projects
800 square meters dedicated to prefabrication for demanding industrial projects. Heavy lifting capacity makes it especially well suited for large, heavy components. Sensitive client projects can be kept confidential in a dedicated area.
Projects delivered
We've delivered industrial piping to power plants, biogas plants, battery material factories, and shipyards across Finland and around the world. Every project has taught us something about process optimization, shorter installation time, and lower environmental load, and we carry those lessons into the next project.
