Case Study — Ruwais, UAE

Petrochemical Piping Cladding — Ruwais, UAE

Heavy-gauge Stainless Steel 316L cladding protecting 4,800 linear meters of high-temperature process piping at a Ruwais petrochemical facility.

The Challenge

Site Conditions

The client's process lines run at sustained high temperatures across an exposed refinery yard, where standard jacketing degrades quickly under UV exposure and thermal cycling, risking heat loss and corrosion under insulation (CUI) at pipe supports and flanges.

The Solution

Our Approach

Our team pre-fabricated SS 316L cladding segments (0.6mm) in our CNC shop to match the exact piping isometrics, then installed hermetically sealed lock-seam joints on site with minimal process downtime, including custom-formed elbow and tee sections.

The Result

Outcome

4,800 linear meters of process piping now carry a fully weatherproof, corrosion-resistant metallic shell rated for the refinery's high-temperature duty, with zero reported CUI incidents since installation.
