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

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 Ras Tanura?

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 Ras Tanura

Replacement work on the transmission network around Ras Tanura means lifting into an existing corridor, often alongside lines that stay live. Lowering-in a replacement section next to in-service pipe changes the lift plan: spacing is dictated by what you must not touch, not by what is convenient for the machines.

Pipeline work in Ras Tanura

The refinery and the Juaymah export terminal sit on a dense gas and crude transmission network. Replacement and refurbishment of existing transmission lines is ongoing work rather than an occasional project.

Transmission line replacement and refurbishment on the gas and crude network feeding the refinery and the Juaymah export terminal, plus scraper trap and valve station work.

A mix of planned replacement programmes and unplanned integrity work. Both are permit-controlled and both move faster than a general construction site.

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.
