Flange Facing Services in Jubail
Leaking joints in Jubail plants often trace back to a damaged sealing face. We machine it in place, so the joint can be rebuilt during the same shutdown.
Refacing exchanger and reactor flanges in Jubail
Jubail petrochemical and refining units run large exchangers, reactors and process lines whose flange faces pick up pitting and scratches over long run cycles. Flange facing in Jubail restores those faces in place, which is far quicker than lifting equipment out and sending it to a workshop.
Our portable flange facers clamp inside the bore or around the outside of the flange, are trued to its axis, and machine the sealing face back to the finish the gasket needs.
Most flange facing jobs in Jubail are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Jubail and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main flange facing services in KSA page.

Can large exchanger flanges be refaced in Jubail without removal?
Yes. OD-mounted machines clamp around large girth flanges, so the exchanger stays in position while the face is machined.
Can flanges be refaced in place in Jubail?
Yes. Our machines clamp to the flange where it is installed, so pipework and equipment stay in place and only the joint is opened.
How much material do you remove from a flange face?
Only enough to clean up the damage, usually a fraction of a millimetre. We measure first and never machine below the thickness the rating allows.
