Highly specialised welding and complementary services such as fabrication, machining, corrosion protection and NDT in the oil and gas sector are available to meet the diverse needs of equipment suppliers manufacturing a range of components from pipelines and flanges to risers and pigging systems.
However, finding all, or even a few, of these disciplines from a single-source supplier is rare as the need for an in-depth understanding of so many disciplines, and their equally wide and demanding quality standards, requires vast knowledge and experience. Yet Gloucestershire-based weld overlay cladding and fabrication specialist Arc Energy Resources has successfully completed many projects that required just such a multi-disciplined approach.
Commenting on the multi-disciplined approach to its welding service, managing director Alan Robinson stresses the companys significant investment in training and its commitment to meeting worldwide certifications and industry standards. Whatever a customer needs, from design for manufacture to final NDT, Arc Energy has the industry standard resource to exceed its clients expectations.
In addition, Arc Energy holds ASME U & National Board R Stamps, enabling the company to provide code compliant pressure vessels and subcontract welding on free-issue ASME standard material.
These accreditations are part of Arc Energys impressive list of qualifications, which also include ISO 9001:2008 quality management system, ISO 14001:2004 environment management system, investors in people and OHSAS 18001 health and safety management system.
Arc Energy also remains one of very few welding specialists that can boast accreditation to the ISO 3834-2 welding quality standard and conformance to ISO 14731, welding coordination.
And if size and tight tolerances require stress relieving after weld overlay cladding, even with large items of equipment, Arc Energy is able to carry out post-weld heat treatment in one of its own calibrated furnaces.
Add to that the fact that Alan Robinson is himself one of very few UK registered International Welding Engineers, has a Masters degree in welding, and is a Chartered Engineer, a European Engineer and a senior member of the Welding Institute. All of which reinforces the fact that few welding specialists can equal this list of accreditations, or provide Arc Energys capability to support clients with a multi-disciplined welding, fabricating and engineering service delivered by highly qualified and experienced welding staff.
