Nippon Sanso Matheson for Construction – Because We Understand Jobsite Work
Nippon Sanso Matheson provides gases used for:
- Structural steel welding
- Pipe welding and fabrication
- Nitrogen purging and pressure testing
- Leak detection and commissioning
- HVAC and cooling system installation
- CO2 for fire suppression
- Fuel gas and oxygen for demolition
- Refinery & Chemical company turnaround support
But we offer so much more than that. Why do top construction firms choose us?
Local Services – FAST
Nippon Sanso Matheson has the capabilities you would expect from a global leader. Part of the Nippon Sanso family, we are one of the top four largest gas supplier in the world, with Air Separation Units across the country, and International Helium sourcing. But our customers tell us that what sets us apart is our local presence. While many other gas suppliers use a centralized call center model that makes it hard to communicate directly with your local branch, Nippon Sanso Matheson prioritizes local service.
That means, when you call us, you get a local branch, who knows the area your jobsite is in, who knows our truck capabilities, delivery schedule, and what we have in stock, with the welding expertise to help advise you on products.
We have the stick electrodes in stock, engine drive welding machines ready to go, and the cylinders, 12 packs and liquid cylinders your jobsite needs- locally.


National Cylinder Tracking
While all major gas suppliers have some capabilities to use barcode / serial number tracking, that capability is of limited use if it is not used on all the cylinders. The issue with limited use is that if another contractor takes your large cylinders off the jobsite and returns or exchanges them, if that contractor does not have cylinder number tracking those cylinders will not be scanned, and will never be identified as having come from your site.
Nippon Sanso Matheson is different because we bar code / serial number track ALL our medium and large rental cylinders. This provides three huge advantages for contractors:

Theft Identification
If someone takes your cylinders off your jobsite and brings them back to us for return or exchange, we know they were rented to YOU. When they enter our system they are returned to YOUR account, reducing costly cylinder theft to your bottom line.

Job Site Accounting
Many of our contractors need to bill different end users for different jobs- separately. But cylinder can often be brought by contractor employees to different jobs, making it hard to reconcile the rental and any lost cylinders at the end of the job. Nippon Sanso Matheson’s advanced cylinder management means that we can identify what job the cylinders were on, and when closing out the jobsite, we can identify, by serial number and barcode, what cylinders are missing.

Reducing Loss of Use
Our technology helps our customers reduce costly loss of use bills. Often with cylinders moving from jobsite to jobsite, with other gas suppliers it becomes almost impossible to determine what cylinder went missing from what jobsite, or if there are even cylinders missing. With our tracking, we can provide you lists of any cylinders that have not been returned or exchanged in 6 months, a year, or more, as well as what jobsite they were rented on. This helps our customers manage this before it gets out of control.

Bulk Nitrogen for Spot Jobs
Many construction jobs require purging, pressure testing, pressurization, or even concrete cooling. These applications require not only large volumes of nitrogen, but engineering expertise. Contractors trust Nippon Sanso Matheson for accurate calculations of usage required, and the right gas delivery system. Additionally, with over 40 Air Separation Units across the USA, Nippon Sanso Matheson is able to act fast and provide cost effective solutions.
Concrete contractors trust Nippon Sanso Matheson for liquid nitrogen supply for in truck concrete cooling and liquid nitrogen injection to lower the temperature of concrete at the batch plant or at the jobsite. We have technology and expertise to support your critical pours, and we have readily available equipment and support personnel for a quick rollout, and inventory of critical components to keep you running.
For data center construction, construction companies choose Nippon Sanso Matheson because of the critical role nitrogen has during installation and commissioning of piping systems and cooling infrastructure, including in:
- Pipe purging
- Leak testing
- System pressure testing
- HVAC installation
- Cooling loop commissioning
Our reliability, responsiveness, and flexibility with the critical schedules in data center construction help our end users meet their deadlines


We Bring Our Own Lifts
Off loading a cylinder truck can eat up jobsite resources- costly labor hours, crane time and forklift time.
In some geographies, Nippon Sanso Matheson has truck mounted forklifts- often called Piggy-Backs, these are trucks that come equipped with their own lifts.
These lifts are designed for the rugged terrain of jobsites, and the cylinders can be offloaded and moved into place by our drivers, saving you time and money.
Digital Infrastructure
Data centers are growing at an incredible pace, and in the race to create our digital future, time is money, and delays can hurt competitiveness for our end users. Every hyperscale campus, enterprise facility, and colocation site depends on precision construction, reliable infrastructure, and specialized gas systems to meet strict uptime, safety, and performance standards.
Supply reliability is critical for these often tight timelines. From the nitrogen for concrete cooling foundations, to stick electrodes, fluxcored wire, wire feeders and engine drive welders to building the steel structures, to argon and GTAW / TIG support for precision piping to nitrogen and helium for purging and leak testing, Nippon Sanso Matheson is a proven partner for construction companies is one of the United States’ most trusted industrial gas suppliers. Our expertise and supply reliability support large-scale construction projects, advanced manufacturing facilities, and mission-critical infrastructure across the United States.
