Hydrotest 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.
Modified and new systems at Rabigh are hydrotested before restart, often under tight turnaround deadlines. We prepare test equipment in advance, test as each system is mechanically complete, and reinstate joints quickly so testing does not delay the start-up sequence.
Every job under our hydrotest services in Rabigh starts with a site survey and a written method statement, and ends with a record of the work for your files.
Because leaks during a test usually come from flanged joints, every joint is made up by bolt torquing beforehand, and any flange damage is corrected by flange facing before the test is repeated.

FAQ
Yes. We test each system as soon as it is mechanically complete, so testing runs alongside construction rather than waiting until the end.
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.
A hydrotest, or hydrostatic test, fills a pipe or vessel with water and pressurises it above its design pressure for a set time. Inspectors check for leaks and pressure drop to confirm the system is strong and tight before it goes into service.
