Project Execution
Work performed directly
on-site.
This project involved numerous modifications, including the replacement of the flare tip and monoseal, welding supports for new electrical lines, a complete overhaul of the electrical wiring, replacement of gas control panels, painting of the risers, and much more. The preparation of materials and pre-installation work alone took 4 weeks prior to the actual execution of the project. The flare assembly was 160 m tall and composed of five riser sections; each section was 31 m long, measured 60 inches in diameter, and weighed 14 tons. The Monoseal weighed 15.5 tons, and the flare tip weighed 7 tons.
Lifting was performed using a single winch, with the cable reeved through 8 sheaves and connected to a lifting block attached to the rear of the riser section. The entire operation took 2 weeks, with work carried out in both day and night shifts. Our role was to oversee the work process and manage its organization.
We completed the project 4 days ahead of schedule. The entire project was managed by the Saudi Arabian company Expertise – www.expertindus.com
