MCAA to Highlight Data Center Fabrication During 2026 Conference at W.E. Bowers

Highlights

• MCAA's 2026 Fabrication Conference will take place Sept. 15-17 in Hanover, Maryland.
• W.E. Bowers will host facility tours showcasing plumbing, piping, and sheet metal fabrication operations.
• Attendees will see robotic welding, stainless steel fabrication, and digital manufacturing processes.
• The conference will focus on fabrication strategies supporting data center construction.

Mechanical contractors seeking to expand fabrication capabilities for mission-critical construction projects will have an opportunity to examine advanced manufacturing operations during the Mechanical Contractors Association of America's 2026 Fabrication Conference.

Facility Tours Focus on Data Center Fabrication

Conference attendees will tour W.E. Bowers' plumbing, piping, and sheet metal fabrication facilities in Hanover, Maryland.

The plumbing and piping tour will feature stainless steel fabrication, passivation processes, T-pulling technology, and automated welding systems. The sheet metal operation will highlight digital workflows, fabrication equipment, and production planning practices used to support large-scale construction projects.

Supporting Fabrication Growth

The conference will examine how fabrication investments and manufacturing technologies can help contractors improve productivity and support growing demand for data centers and other mission-critical facilities.

The event is scheduled for Sept. 15-17, 2026.

Why It Matters

Demand for prefabrication continues to grow across commercial and industrial construction, particularly in the data center sector. Events focused on fabrication technologies provide contractors with opportunities to evaluate production methods, automation, and shop management practices that can improve project delivery.
