Field Machining

Field Machining

Restore sealing surfaces without removing the equipment from the line.

Field Machining

Portable machine tools are mounted directly to the equipment and indicated off an existing datum, so gasket faces, seats and bores are cut concentric and flat in place. Cut depth, flatness and finish are recorded against the applicable flange or seat specification.

What we do

  • Flange facing and gasket-surface refinishing, including gasket-surface repair on a new 8 in. Class 600 cryogenic PSV
  • Valve seat and sandwich-valve machining in place
  • Mounting-surface resurfacing in place, including API 610 VS1 vertical turbine pump / sump can top mounting surfaces
  • Line boring, milling and drilling with portable machine tools

Applications

  • Leaking flanged joints with distorted or corroded gasket faces
  • Valves that will not seat after service exposure
  • Vessel, drum and sump-can sealing faces that cannot be shipped out
  • Mounting surfaces requiring flatness correction before reassembly
Hot Tapping

Hot Tapping

Add branches and tie-ins while the system stays live and in service.

Hot Tapping

A fitting is installed on the pressurized header, tested, and cut with a tapping machine through a full-port valve. The coupon is retained on the pilot cutter and recovered, leaving a finished branch connection without depressurizing the system.

What we do

  • Hot taps on live natural-gas and crude-oil service, including an 8 in. hot tap on a live natural-gas line
  • Large-diameter interventions up to 36 in.
  • Fitting review, coupon retention and pressure-test procedures
  • Coordinated with client operations and permit-to-work requirements

Applications

  • New instrument, injection or drain connections on live headers
  • Tie-ins for plant expansions with no available shutdown
  • Access points required ahead of a line stop or freeze isolation
  • Sampling and pressure-monitoring connections on transfer lines
Line Stops / Line Stopping

Line Stops / Line Stopping

Create a safe work window without draining or depressurizing the system.

Line Stops / Line Stopping

Hot taps are made either side of the work area and stopping heads are inserted to hold isolation while the repair proceeds. Bypass arrangements can maintain throughput, and the fittings are plugged and completed at the end of the window.

What we do

  • Single and double block line stops on liquid and gas systems
  • 36 in. hot tap / line stop on a crude-oil transfer line at an offshore Gulf repump station
  • Bypass planning to maintain throughput during isolation
  • Full-cycle execution: tap, stop, work window, completion and plugging

Applications

  • Valve replacement on lines with no upstream isolation
  • Spool or fitting replacement on live transfer piping
  • Emergency repair of a damaged or leaking section
  • Isolation for tie-in work while product keeps moving on bypass
Line Freeze

Line Freeze

Isolate flow cryogenically when mechanical stops are not an option.

Line Freeze

Liquid nitrogen jackets are applied to a static column of product to form a solid plug. Plug growth and thaw are temperature-monitored throughout, and no penetration of the pipe wall is required.

What we do

  • Nitrogen freeze isolation on small- and mid-bore lines
  • Temperature monitoring and controlled thaw sequences
  • Used to support valve replacement and instrument tie-ins
  • Applied where line geometry rules out a mechanical stop

Applications

  • Small-bore valve and instrument replacement
  • Lines where a hot tap is undesirable or not permitted
  • Short-duration isolations on water, glycol and process service
  • Isolation upstream of gasket or packing replacement
Technical Bolting

Technical Bolting

Hold critical joints with documented torque or tension values.

Technical Bolting

Joints are made up to a calculated target using hydraulic torque or tensioning, in a controlled pattern and in stages, with the achieved values recorded per stud so the joint can be defended after the fact.

What we do

  • Hydraulic torque and tensioning on flanged connections
  • Joint integrity procedures with documented values
  • Gasket selection support and surface-condition verification
  • Pressure-drum repair support and documented joint integrity

Applications

  • Exchanger and vessel covers returning to service
  • High-consequence flanged joints after machining or gasket change
  • Repeat-leak joints requiring a controlled make-up procedure
  • Turnaround work packages that require documented joint records
Heat Treating

Heat Treating

Control thermal cycles in the field for weld and joint integrity.

Heat Treating

Resistance heating elements and insulation are applied to the component and controlled in zones against thermocouple feedback, holding ramp, soak and cool rates to the applicable procedure with a chart or digital record of the cycle.

What we do

  • Resistance heating with multi-zone control
  • Pre-heat, PWHT and stress-relief cycles to specification
  • Chart and digital records supplied with the work package
  • Coordinated with welding and machining scopes on the same outage

Applications

  • Post-weld heat treatment of field welds on piping and vessels
  • Pre-heat support for heavy-wall welding
  • Stress relief after in-place repair or modification
  • Coordinated PWHT within a machining and bolting scope
Technical Consulting

Technical Consulting

Get a field-proven method and execution plan before the work starts.

Technical Consulting

Method development based on field execution rather than theory: what the equipment will tolerate, what tooling actually fits the access available, and the sequence that gets the system back in service inside the window.

What we do

  • Taper Lock heat-exchanger transition consulting in Latin America
  • Repair-versus-replace assessments for in-service equipment
  • Method statements, tooling selection and sequencing
  • On-site technical oversight during critical work windows

Applications

  • Transitioning exchanger closures to a different sealing arrangement
  • Deciding between in-place repair and replacement
  • Writing method statements for a first-time intervention
  • On-site oversight during a high-consequence work window
Industrial Painting & Protective Coatings

Industrial Painting & Protective Coatings

Protect equipment with spec-compliant surface prep and coating systems.

Industrial Painting & Protective Coatings

Surface preparation to the specified profile, masking of sealing faces and instrumentation, then primer and topcoat applied to the required film thickness with containment suited to an operating facility.

What we do

  • Surface preparation, priming and multi-coat protective systems
  • ALCO V16 marine-engine coating work
  • Corrosion protection on piping, drums, valves and structures
  • Containment and controlled application in operating facilities

Applications

  • Marine and large-bore engine refurbishment coatings
  • Corrosion protection on drums, exchangers and piping
  • Structural steel and skid recoating during outages
  • Recoating equipment immediately after in-place repair
Equipment Sales

Equipment Sales

Buy the same field-proven equipment and tooling we run on our jobs.

Equipment Sales

Equipment specified against the application — flange size and class, access, and duty cycle — rather than against a fixed catalogue, with consumables and spares support after delivery.

What we do

  • Field-service support equipment and tooling
  • Consumables, tooling and spares support
  • Specification guidance based on real field application
  • Inquiries handled directly by our field team

Equipment Rentals

Equipment Rentals

Rent the right machine for the joint — with or without our technician.

Equipment Rentals

Rentals are matched to the flange or tap size, class and available access, supplied with the tooling and consumables needed for the scope, and available with a technician for set-up or full execution.

What we do

  • Flange facing machines sized to the joint and access
  • Cold tapping equipment for un-pressurised tie-in work
  • Hydraulic power units, hoses and support tooling
  • Optional technician support for set-up or full execution

Applications

  • One-off flange facing scopes on a planned outage
  • Cold tap connections on isolated or drained systems
  • Peak-demand coverage when your own tooling is committed
  • Trial of a machine class before purchasing

Combined scopes

One mobilization, several disciplines

Most jobs are not a single service. A line stop opens a window; machining restores the sealing face; heat treating and bolting close it back up; coatings protect what you just repaired. Running those scopes with one crew removes handoffs and shortens the outage.

  • Isolation & intervention
  • Sealing-surface machining
  • PWHT & stress relief
  • Documented bolting
  • Protective coatings
  • On-site technical support
Multi-zone heat treating power consoles and heater cables staged for a field thermal cycle
