Do You Need Equipment Setting or Steel Fabrication Support?
Use this page if you need help with:
- Setting or relocating equipment including tanks, pumps, vessels, chillers, skids, or process equipment
- Fabricating steel supports including frames, platforms, bases, brackets, supports, and custom steel assemblies
- Coordinating rigging and placement including crane lifts, anchoring, grouting, leveling, alignment, and positioning
- Connecting equipment to facility systems including piping, utilities, control systems, and mechanical support infrastructure
- Completing work during shutdowns or active upgrades where schedule, safety, coordination, and uptime matter
What Is Equipment Setting and Steel Fabrication?
Equipment setting and steel fabrication involve placing, leveling, aligning, anchoring, supporting, and connecting heavy equipment inside an industrial or commercial facility. For active plants, this work often includes rigging and equipment setting, structural steel supports, platforms, skids, mechanical equipment setting, piping connections, utility tie-ins, and final verification before startup.
DePue Mechanical acts as an industrial equipment installation contractor for facilities that need equipment set safely, supported correctly, and integrated with existing mechanical systems. Our team supports industrial equipment installation, structural steel fabrication, field welding, equipment alignment, anchoring, grouting, and mechanical tie-ins for facilities across Illinois.

Built for Industrial Equipment Installation in Active Facilities
Every job we take — from food plants to chemical, to manufacturing — is treated with the discipline of engineering + the pragmatism of field crews. We understand:
- The challenge of retrofits in live operations
- Tight tolerances combined with daily vibration
- Heavy loads, thermal expansion, and support dynamics
- Coordination with multiple trades
- Shutdown windows and phasing constraints

Project Highlight
- Project: Equipment Relocation & Steel Support Rework
- Scope: New processing module had to be shifted, aligned,
and integrated into existing piping & utilities. - What We Did: Built a custom steel support frame, rigged
the module into place with millimeter precision, connected
piping systems, and verified full alignment under load. - Result: Zero downtime at handoff, leak-free integration,
and smooth startup.
