Our Projects
Case Study Retrofit Installation – LNG Compressor Station
A late-stage issue in a live LNG project demanded urgent, engineered welding solutions. We took ownership of the scope, working under pressure to deliver high-spec outcomes in a constrained environment.
The Challenge
During final commissioning, the client identified a critical design omission: no containment tanks for oil carried by gas through compressor units. With equipment already installed and fabricated overseas, a fast, compliant solution was needed. The project was under pressure, operating in a live, high-compliance environment with tight timeframes and no margin for error.
Our Solution
We collaborated with site engineers to design and fabricate retrofit containment tanks rated for explosive atmospheres. We managed installation, built new footings, modified pipework and installed a vent line through roof level—all while maintaining compliance, site safety and documentation requirements. The scope required elevated work platforms and coordination across multiple trades.
The Outcome
We delivered the project to spec, under time pressure and site constraints. The client was impressed with our responsiveness, professionalism and technical capability. Our performance led to additional commissioning work and an ongoing project relationship—proof that when it matters, we deliver.
Case Study – Shipping Container Installation Across Gas Plant Sites
Tasked with installing 13 shipping containers across two live gas plant sites, we coordinated excavation, fabrication, cranage, and site management under stringent safety and compliance requirements.
The Challenge
The client required the installation of 13 shipping containers across two operational gas plant sites. The locations demanded vacuum excavation for safety, strict compliance with site protocols, and precise placement. Working within a live gas facility added layers of complexity, requiring careful planning, engineered designs, and staged operations to maintain safety and site integrity.
Our Solution
We collaborated closely with the client and third-party engineers to develop a safe, engineered approach. Our team managed the entire site preparation, contracting concreting crews for footing installation and vacuum excavation teams to ensure asset protection. We fabricated steel stumps, designed and installed access platforms, and contracted cranes to lift and position all containers. Every stage was coordinated to align with gas site safety requirements and project sequencing.
The Outcome
The project was completed safely, efficiently, and to specification. All 13 shipping containers were installed across the two sites without incident. By managing the fabrication, third-party contractors, and installation logistics, we ensured minimal disruption to site operations and delivered a compliant, high-standard outcome.
Case Study – Blowdown Piping Upgrade for Gas Compressors
When undersized blowdown piping compromised the safe shutdown of two gas compressors, we delivered an engineered upgrade involving new pipework, tie-ins, skid modifications, and low-temperature welding.
The Challenge
Two newly installed gas compressors were fitted with blowdown piping that was undersized. During emergency shutdowns, excess back pressure caused the pressure safety valves (PSVs) to lift—posing operational and safety risks. A compliant, engineered solution was urgently required to prevent PSV activation during shutdown sequences.
Our Solution
We engineered and fabricated new low-temperature pipework capable of managing the increased gas flow during shutdown events. Our team cut new tie-ins to the existing lines, installed upgraded outlet piping, fabricated new pipe supports, and modified the compressor skids to accommodate the larger diameter system. All fabrication was performed to low-temperature welding procedures suitable for service at -45°C.
The Outcome
Following installation, both compressors can safely shut down without lifting the pressure safety valves. The system now complies with operational safety parameters and reduces shutdown risks across the plant.
