Flange Facing Services in Qatif
Qatif is close to our base, so when a flange face is found damaged at a producing plant, a machine can usually be there quickly.
Short-notice flange facing in Qatif
Producing plants and pipelines around Qatif often discover damaged faces only when a joint is opened. Flange facing in Qatif lets us respond quickly, machine the face in place and hand the joint straight to our bolting crew so it can be closed the same day.
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 Qatif are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Qatif and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main flange facing services in KSA page.

How fast can you reface a flange in Qatif?
Qatif is close to our base, so a machine and operator can often arrive the same day once the joint is open.
Do you reassemble the joint after facing in Qatif?
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 Qatif?
Yes. Our machines clamp to the flange where it is installed, so pipework and equipment stay in place and only the joint is opened.
