Company
Overview
Founded 1975
Year Established
The company was established in 1975 in a garage, initially focusing on engineering consultancy.
1986 Acquisitions
Strategic Expansion
The company began acquiring other businesses in 1986, expanding its expertise into fabrication.
10-acre Facility
Manufacturing Complex
Today, the company operates a nearly ten-acre facility in Houston with advanced capabilities.
Early innovation included the big‑ton spring and bolted spring hanger, cementing its reputation in pipe stress solutions.
Through strategic acquisitions (Sweco Fab, RM, U.S. Bellows, Pipe Shields and Anchor/Darling), the company expanded into fabrication, bellows, pre‑insulated supports, and snubbers.
Today it operates a nearly ten‑acre Houston facility with advanced capabilities including robotic welding, pressure vessels, bellows, and 3D‑printed prototypes.
Typical projects span LNG plants, chemical and petrochemical facilities, power plants, offshore platforms and cryogenic systems, delivering custom spring supports, expansion joints, slide plates and snubbers.
Financially self‑funded and privately held, PT&P has steadily reinvested in manufacturing and innovation, most recently in 2024 mass‑customization upgrades at its Houston headquarters.
Unusually, they offer 24/7 emergency service and produce 3D‑printed models for client review before full‑scale manufacturing.
