Bolt Torquing Services in Abqaiq

Abqaiq is home to one of the world's largest crude oil processing and stabilization facilities, surrounded by gas-oil separation plants, pipelines and pumping stations. It is an inland desert location, so crews deal with extreme summer heat and blowing sand, and work is planned around facilities that are critical to national crude supply and cannot be taken out of service lightly.

Abqaiq is home to some of the world’s largest crude oil processing and stabilization facilities, where joint integrity on process piping and equipment is critical to safe, continuous operation.

That is why our bolt torquing services in Abqaiq cover planned maintenance and turnaround bolting on process piping, exchangers, vessels and pumps, with hydraulic tensioning available for large and high-pressure joints.

In addition, we can supply a complete bolting crew with hydraulic torque wrenches, tensioners, pumps and torque multipliers, or support your own maintenance team on critical joints. Bolt loads are calculated for each joint and every flange is tagged and recorded.

We schedule heavy work for cooler hours where the site allows, rotate crews, provide shade and water, and protect machines and instruments from sand and heat so work continues safely through the summer.

Our bolt torquing services in Abqaiq are backed by calibrated equipment, trained technicians and procedures aligned with ASME PCC-1.

In Abqaiq, many of our bolting jobs are combined with flange facing of damaged faces and nitrogen purging of the system before start-up.
