Onshoring Project Management
US policy is creating huge incentives for manufacturers to move operations onshore to the United States, and we are ready to help. We are the natural partner for your design and build onshoring project. We are assisting North American manufacturers in developing plastic pipe plant building projects, including all critical inputs for a business plan to obtain bank funding or to deliver your new manufacturing operation in a seamless project. We can deliver our partners for site selection, general contracting, facility building, equipment installation, and integration. Everything you need in one place. Our team at BHC Associates includes heat fusion joining training professionals and inspectors to mitigate pipeline risk from project planning through installation. We develop quality plans for sourcing and handling of construction materials, construction practices, and commissioning practices. We have conducted manufacturer site audits and worked with the manufacturer to resolve findings.
Our contacts in the industry have shared a huge trend in plastic pipe products. Importation of foreign-produced plastic pipe is a continuing concern for domestic manufacturers. New supply for domestic manufacturing plastic pipe projects are being delayed due to the difficulty in finding design and build firms knowledgeable on capital equipment.
Additionally, the industry has been discussing the familiar drawbacks to foreign-produced plastic pipe products for many years. Some of these drawbacks include:
Based on our market studies, the issue that appears to be the deciding factor is shipping costs. Shipping cost inefficiencies are staggering; shipping costs are much higher now due to oil prices. On top of this, the tariff policies provided an added advantage to domestic manufacturing. Smaller fittings can absorb this inefficiency, but pipe can’t bear the costs. They need to be transported to the US to compete. BHC Associates and our team of plastic pipe professionals, each with more than 25 years of experience, are ideally positioned to provide a full suite of services to assist you in meeting your onshore project needs.
We have developed working relationships with Design/Build firms where we take care of the equipment, and they take care of the building. High-quality communications from the same time zone are important to avoid project delays, rework, or other issues. Of course, the reduction in shipping costs and wasted time on complex logistics is a huge opportunity to create value.
BHC Associates' team of plastic pipe professionals dedicate themselves to supplying outstanding quality service, resulting in the finest customer experience with your onshoring projects. If you are looking for support for your onshoring project, contact us today!

Additionally, the industry has been discussing the familiar drawbacks to foreign-produced plastic pipe products for many years. Some of these drawbacks include:
- Limited control of their vendor’s manufacturing processes and schedules, which contributes to poor pipe quality and late deliveries
- Limited availability of finished goods due to ongoing plant shutdowns
