Do you own the pipe roller cradles you supply to Abqaiq?

Yes. 4" to 60" · non-marring support for coated line pipe — held in our own fleet at Al Khobar, not brokered from another yard. That is what lets us give you a date and keep it.

Can you supply crews with the equipment in Abqaiq?

Yes. Pipeline welders, pipe fitters, riggers, QA/QC inspectors, heavy equipment operators and safety officers come from our own manpower division on the same commercial registration, so the equipment and the crew are on one contract and one invoice. On pipeline work certification currency is usually the binding constraint, so tell us the standard your client requires at enquiry stage.

Lay & Lift work in Abqaiq

Lowering-in around Abqaiq is governed by access approval rather than by equipment. The crude stabilisation and transmission corridors are permit-controlled, and a machine that cannot get through the gate is worth nothing on paper. We place equipment against your approved access window, not against a calendar date.

What the cradle is actually protecting

Modern line pipe arrives with a factory-applied external coating — three-layer polyethylene, FBE or similar — and that coating is the pipe's entire corrosion defence for its design life. It is also soft. Every time the pipe is set down, rolled, rotated for welding or lowered into the ditch, the contact points are where the coating gets cut. Roller cradles spread the load over a wide, non-marring surface and let the pipe rotate without dragging, which is why they appear in the method statement for every stage between stringing and lowering-in.
