Flange Facing Services in Rabigh
Hot service joints at Rabigh are tough on gasket faces. We restore them in place during shutdowns and outages.
Refacing hot service flanges in Rabigh
The Rabigh complex and the coastal power plants have high-temperature and seawater joints that damage flange faces over time. Flange facing in Rabigh restores the correct finish and flatness in place, so joints can be rebuilt with confidence.
After machining we check the finish against a comparator and take flatness readings, so the joint can be rebuilt on a face that will actually seal.
Most flange facing jobs in Rabigh are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Rabigh and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main flange facing services in KSA page.

Can you check flatness on Rabigh flanges after machining?
Yes. We take flatness and runout readings after machining and record them for each face.

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.
Can flanges be refaced in place in Rabigh?
Yes. Our machines clamp to the flange where it is installed, so pipework and equipment stay in place and only the joint is opened.
