Pipeline Construction
We construct and modify pipelines for new builds, upgrades, and decommissions, offering end-to-end services from design to handover. Our expertise covers cross-country pipelines, diversions, and high-pressure systems, ensuring compliance with international standards. Clients benefit from reduced downtime and long-term reliability.
Above Ground Installations (AGIs)
Our AGI services include engineering, prefabrication, and installation of above-ground pipeline systems. Projects are completed in-house before site assembly, minimising disruption. This approach ensures precision, safety, and adherence to strict environmental regulations for sectors like gas and petrochemicals.
Emergency Response
We provide 24/7 support for pipeline emergencies, including corrosion, leaks, or structural damage. Our rapid-response team utilises advanced techniques like hot tapping and composite wraps to restore operations swiftly, prioritising safety and minimal service disruption for critical infrastructure.
Welding
Our ISO 3834-certified welders deliver high-quality solutions for oil, gas, and industrial sectors. Services include onsite welding, fabrication, and repairs using international standards. Clients benefit from durable, code-compliant welds and reduced project risks through rigorous quality control.
Fabrication
We fabricate bespoke pipework, skid units, and structural steel components under ISO 1090 certification. Our in-house workshop handles design, testing, and assembly, ensuring precision-engineered products for AGIs, pipelines, and civil projects with fast turnaround times.
