Flange Facing Services in Al Ahsa
Gas service around Al Ahsa is high pressure, and joints that keep leaking usually have a face or groove problem. We fix it on site.
Fixing gas plant flanges in Al Ahsa
Gas processing and separation plants around Al Ahsa run many ring-type and raised-face joints at high pressure. Flange facing in Al Ahsa re-cuts worn ring grooves and refaces damaged raised faces in place, so the joint can be tensioned and leak tested in the same visit.
Light cuts remove pitting, radial scratches and erosion, then a finishing pass produces the serrated, smooth or RTJ profile your joint calls for.
Most flange facing jobs in Al Ahsa are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Al Ahsa and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main flange facing services in KSA page.

Why do RTJ joints keep leaking in Al Ahsa plants?
Often the ring groove is worn or damaged. Re-machining it to the correct profile usually solves the leak.
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.
Do you reassemble the joint after facing in Al Ahsa?
Yes. Our bolting crew can fit the new gasket and tighten the joint to a calculated load, so one team is responsible for the result.
