The Imperial Process

Keeping complex projects on track

5 Steps to Success

Consultation

Our team asks detailed questions about your environment, loads, compliance needs, operational goals, and constraints to ground the solution in how the equipment will actually be used.

Design

There is no “it works in theory” at Imperial. We translate your requirements into a robust design backed by specifications, drawings, and material guidance. This helps us align expectations and provide transparent costs and timelines for easier planning.

Fabrication

Once the design is documented and approved, we move forward with custom fabrication supported by certified welding and modern cutting/forming capabilities.


Assembly & Testing

We prioritize quality and take pride in craftsmanship. All tanks and trucks are thoroughly inspected and tested against internal requirements and applicable external standards before they ship.

Delivery & Support

Our team coordinates safe, efficient delivery, assists with installation when needed, and provides ongoing service, parts, and maintenance so equipment stays productive long after it’s commissioned.

Custom fabrication and complex equipment delivery can come with a lot of uncertainty. Often, missed requirements, shifting costs, delays, and quality issues aren’t discovered until it’s too late.

The Principles Behind the Process

The Imperial Process isn’t bureaucracy. It’s how the team builds certainty into complex projects.

Design First

Rigorous analysis underpins every solution to help reduce surprises and improve predictable performance

Vertical Integration

Design, fabrication, and testing happen internally. Fewer handoffs lowers risk and keeps accountability clear

Quality Culture

Certified welders, experienced field specialists, and documentation reinforce consistency so requirements aren’t lost between “design” and “done”

Clear Communication

We keep our customers informed at each stage to support better planning and avoid last-minute changes. Expectations are set early and updated as decisions are made
