What Carolina Piping & Rigging does

Carolina Piping & Rigging, LLC is a privately held, woman-owned industrial services company founded in 2006 by Tammy Brown and headquartered at 1214 Calvary Church Rd in Bishopville, South Carolina.

Donald Brown serves as Vice President, bringing 30+ years of industrial piping and rigging experience and a South Carolina Mechanical Contractor license.

The company holds Unlimited General Contractor, Mechanical, and Electrical licenses across all industrial project categories and markets full Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) capability, allowing it to manage projects from scope development and budget estimation through procurement and on-site execution. It also operates an equipment rental line covering carry deck cranes, Versa Lifts 40/60, and general machine rental, which supplements project-based services with an asset-utilization revenue stream. Customers are enterprise manufacturing and industrial plants primarily across South Carolina, with service delivery extending throughout the United States.

Commercially, Carolina Piping & Rigging runs a project-based, quote-driven enterprise sales motion with no public pricing, no channel partners, and minimal digital marketing presence beyond a website quote-request form with 24-hour response. The firm is founder-owned and independently operated, with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or parent company involvement. Employee count is small (1-10), consistent with a specialty regional contractor rather than a scaled platform business.
