Who We Are
Founded in 2016 and built on decades of hands-on expertise, Orbihire Welding Services Ltd (previously Proline Piping) specialises in high-purity orbital welding, stainless pipework, and bespoke fabrication. Based in Newbury, Berkshire, we operate nationwide—planning, fabricating and installing process pipework to stringent hygiene and quality standards. Our approach is simple: safe works, clean welds, accurate documentation, and minimal downtime for our clients.
01
We deliver precision pipe installation for projects where uptime and cleanliness matter. From small-bore stainless to full utility and process lines, our teams install to spec, test, and hand over with full documentation.
Includes: layout & routing, supports, hot/cold works coordination, pressure/leak testing, turnover packs.
02
Certified TIG/MMA/MIG welding for stainless, carbon, duplex and super-duplex. Our procedures and welder qualifications cover hygienic, pressure, and structural applications, with full traceability.
Includes: WPS/WPQR, on-site & workshop welding, NDT coordination (VT/PMI/RT/UT), repair & rework.
03
High-purity orbital GTAW for repeatable, contamination-free welds. Ideal for pharma, food, semiconductor and clean-energy pipework where consistency and surface finish are critical.
Includes: closed/open heads, purge control, data logging, weld maps, boroscope visuals on request.
04
Fast, safe, and compliant repairs to get your system back online. We diagnose, plan, and execute with minimal disruption—always aiming for first-time fix.
Includes: leak hunts, spool swaps, valve/fixture replacement, misalignment corrections, emergency call-outs.
05
Bespoke stainless and alloy fabrication—spools, frames, skids, manifolds and specials—built to drawing or developed from site survey. Dimensional accuracy and clean finishes as standard.
Includes: CAD/Isos, jigs & fixtures, pickling/passivation, QA packs, delivery and install.
06
Flexible hire of weld heads, power supplies, purge equipment and specialist tooling to keep your programme moving. Training and setup support available.
Includes: orbital welding kits, purge monitors, stands & clamps, delivery/collection, same-day options (subject to stock).
If you want these tailored to a specific sector (pharma/energy/food), I can tweak the wording and keywords to match.

Rapid-response welding support to restore production on a live facility. Our coded welders carried out defect removal and re-welds on stainless and carbon steel components, coordinating closely with operations to keep downtime to a minimum.
TIG (GTAW) and MMA repairs on pipework, brackets and small fabrications
Prep, fit-up and purge control for hygienic joints
Weld procedure adherence (WPS/WPQR), heat input control and interpass checks
NDT coordination (VT/MT/UT as required) and revalidation testing
On-site QA pack: weld logs, material certs and traceability
All welds accepted at first inspection; system returned to service on schedule with full documentation and zero safety incidents.
