ASC Engineered Solutions leads the power industry in snubber support programs. Our team is a group of elite, factory-trained certified technicians that are available to help meet your snubber program needs.

Our staff can provide the snubber interface and load capability information you need for new or existing piping systems, as well as pipe support design.

ASC's Quality Assurance Program meets the requirements of ASME Section III, NCA-3800/4000, ASME Section XI, 10CFR50 Appendix B, ANSI N45.2 and NQA-1. Basic-PSA also holds NPT & NS Certificates issued by ASME.

1. Lisega
2. Grinnell

Mobile Onsite Inventory:

For plants utilizing our on-site Snubber Service Group, we offer an on-site snubber spare parts inventory to better assist your utility with immediate guaranteed availability of snubber spare parts. This service is provided on-site during critical outage schedules. This service eliminates the need to carry costly inventory in the non-outage season as well as the worries of shipping time and product availability when a snubber program is at its most critical point.

Prior to arriving on-site to support your snubber program, our team will work closely with your utility to customize a mobile inventory to best suit the needs of your snubber program.
