In oil and gas operations, where unsafe practices can lead to costly failures, flange face erosion and corrosion pose critical threats. These issues compromise refinery infrastructure, turning small flaws into major liabilities. With each flange connection vital to pipeline integrity, failures can cause leaks, unplanned downtimes, and lost revenue. This case study highlights strategies to combat these hidden dangers, ensuring safety, efficiency, and uninterrupted energy flow for global markets.
Our client, a chemical plant located in east Texas was struggling to have a particular rope access scope of work completed by another provider. When it became clear that progress was falling further behind schedule, and the provider requested more money and time to complete, the client decided to terminate that arrangement. Acuren’s competitive bid was selected to finish the remaining work which included installation of insulation/jacketing on head of vessel, 9 rings, transition and 19 pipe support areas on a 230’ tower utilizing rope access.
Acuren partnered with an energy company to support their TA/Maintenance program. Acuren's access planner worked with the client's planning and execution team to review any work scopes that could be executed via rope access instead of scaffolding to reduce the overall time and cost.
