In-House Design, Fabrication, Assembly, and Testing
Led by Custom Solutions Manager Tristian McCallion, our team of certified fluid system advisors, designers, assemblers, and testers work in a state of the art shop in Edmonton—steps away from our well-stocked warehouse. No project is too large or too small, and often we can help even if time is tight.
Safe, economical designs
Certified experts review your design or collaborate with you to make one. We ensure economical design and pull from $10M in inventory steps from our shop. Tight deadline? Often we can accelerate your project. Need a shelter, rack, header, etc? We make those too.
In-house testing
Choose from hydro, pneumatic, and helium leak testing. We test down to 1x10-6 — tighter tolerance than traditional leak testing. Our in-house capabilities allow for modifying valves, doing repairs, and the like too. We can even take a unit into the field for testing.
Expert support
Our goal is seamless integration with your fluid systems, people, and processes. We come onsite to personally answer any questions from installers, operators, technicians, and managers. Practice operation, discuss maintenance, and fine-tune while our expert is on hand.

Gas Panels Assembly Case Study
A leading chemical company was experiencing issues with delivering dozens of specialty gases at an R&D facility. They needed to prevent leaks of hazardous gases and reducing gas panel replacement and maintenance costs. Replacing just 10% of gas panels cost an average of $58,500 per year.
Swagelok advisors discussed the savings possible from standardizing gas panel design throughout the system. The panels incorporated dedicated lines for safer purging, made it easier to access to critical relief valves, and standardized footprint. Overall the customer:
- Enhanced system and site safety
- Reduced gas panel maintenance time by 75%
- Reduced its carbon footprint
- Saved $52,000 per round of panel replacements
