Flange Facing Services in Yanbu
During Yanbu turnarounds, damaged faces are found as joints are opened. We machine them on the spot so the schedule holds.
Flange machining for Yanbu turnarounds
Refinery, NGL and petrochemical units in Yanbu open hundreds of joints in a turnaround, and some faces are always found damaged. Flange facing in Yanbu keeps machines on site through the shutdown, so faces are repaired as they are found and joints can be closed on time.
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 Yanbu are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Yanbu and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main flange facing services in KSA page.

Can you keep flange facing machines on site through a Yanbu turnaround?
Yes. We station machines and operators on site for the shutdown so faces are repaired as soon as they are found.
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 Yanbu?
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.
