Flange Facing Services in Al Jubail

Jubail Industrial City is one of the largest petrochemical and refining hubs in the region, with SABIC affiliates, export refineries, fertilizer and metals plants packed along the Gulf coast. Salt-laden air and high humidity attack carbon steel, so corrosion under insulation and pitted flange faces are routine findings during turnarounds. Large complexes here run strict permit, gas-test and isolation systems, and contractor crews are expected to fit into tightly scheduled shutdown windows.

Gulf humidity and salt in the air mean flange faces in Jubail corrode quickly once a gasket fails, and heat exchanger channel covers and reactor nozzles often show pitting after only a few years. We machine these faces in place during turnarounds, so exchangers and vessels go back into service without being shipped out to a workshop.

Our flange facing services in Al Jubail are planned with your operations and safety teams and carried out under your permit-to-work.

Damaged flanges are often found during other work, such as hydrotesting or a modification that starts with pipe cold cutting, and we can machine them on the spot instead of waiting for a separate crew.
