Fabricated systems
Skid mounted fabricated systems are available for both space heating and
domestic water heating needs. Fabricated Systems are turnkey solutions, offering
single source responsibility with all components engineered to perform
together and maximize efficiency while minimizing risk. Individual components
are factory mounted on a skid, piped and wired together to be delivered
as a complete package. Our Fabricated Systems require only a single point electrical
connection and connection to utilities, saving on installation time and
costs. Harsco Industrial Patterson-Kelley.
