Services
Field Welding
Our field welding services provide critical infrastructure support for oil and gas operations. Specializing in wellhead replacement and casing repairs, we utilize ASME-certified processes including TIG, GMAW, and SMAW welding techniques. Our experienced welders ensure structural integrity through precision measurements and code-compliant fabrication, meeting the demanding requirements of energy sector clients.
Hydro Excavating
Non-destructive excavation using high-pressure water systems safely uncovers underground utilities and pipelines. Our Vactor HXX-equipped hydrovac operators perform frac tank cleaning and line locating while maintaining worksite integrity. This method eliminates damage risks associated with traditional excavation tools and complies with OSHA safety standards.
Facility Fabrication
Turnkey facility installation services cover salt water disposal systems, compressor stations, and production equipment. We manufacture ASME-certified pressure vessels, pipe racks, and modular skids using robotic welding technology that ensures dimensional accuracy and weld consistency across production manifolds and pipeline components.
Roustabout Support
Comprehensive lease maintenance services include flowline installation, hydro testing, and equipment repairs. Our certified technicians perform fiberglass pipe installation, containment construction, and belt system maintenance using 1-ton and 2-ton gang trucks equipped with Venturo auto cranes for efficient field operations.
Welding Certification
We maintain ASME B31.3 process piping certification and AWS welding standards across shop and field operations. Our robotic welding systems achieve superior consistency compared to manual techniques, while certified welders perform structural repairs and pressure vessel fabrication according to National Board R Stamp requirements.
