Flange Facing in Rabigh

Flange Facing Services in Rabigh

Rabigh, on the Red Sea north of Jeddah, is home to one of the largest integrated refining and petrochemical complexes in the region, along with power and water facilities, pipelines and storage. The scale of the complex means turnarounds involve very large numbers of joints and lines within a single planned outage.

A complex the size of Rabigh's has thousands of flanged joints, and every turnaround finds damaged faces on exchangers, vessels and piping. We run flange facing alongside joint opening, so damaged faces are machined as soon as they are found instead of becoming a delay at reassembly.

Every job under our flange facing services in Rabigh starts with a site survey and a written method statement, and ends with a record of the work for your files.

After refacing, joints are made up by bolt torquing to the calculated bolt load, and before start-up the system can be leak tested and inerted by nitrogen purging.

FAQ

Flange facing services in Rabigh: FAQ

How do you keep flange facing off the turnaround critical path?

We inspect faces as joints are opened and machine damaged ones immediately, so refacing is complete before the joint is due to be closed.

Can you support large turnarounds in Rabigh?

Yes. We scale crews and equipment to the turnaround scope, working shifts if required, and coordinate with the turnaround schedule so our activities stay on plan.

What is flange facing?

Flange facing is the machining of a flange's gasket surface to remove damage and restore the correct flatness and surface finish. On-site flange facing does this with a portable machine mounted on the flange, so it does not need to be removed.
