Do you own the side boom (pipelayer)s you supply to Abqaiq?

Yes. 40 t, 60 t and 90 t side booms · stringing, lowering-in and tie-in support — 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.

Why capacity is chosen by the lift plan, not the pipe diameter

Contractors often ask for a tonnage based on the line size. The load that actually governs is the lowering-in plan: the number of machines on the string, the spacing, the boom radius at the worst point, and the dynamic allowance the lift study applies. A 24-inch line lowered in with three machines at wide spacing can demand more per machine than a larger line with five. Send us the lift plan or the pipe schedule and the ditch profile, and we will tell you which of the three capacities the job actually needs — including when a smaller machine is enough, which is usually the cheaper answer.
