Specialised Pressure Equipment

The pressure equipment industry is full of niche problems requiring specialised equipment or attachments that form part of the pressure envelope. These projects frequently require close collaboration between the client, designer, supply chain and manufacturer to develop a suitable solution for high temperature, stress or corrosive engineering challenges. LA Services on site manufacturing and depth of fabrication knowledge is a beneficial resource when tacking specialised pressure equipment needs.

We have been previously tasked with delivering specialized equipment such as refinery cyclone nests, injection nozzles or the niche needs of the research industry.

Specialised equipment has provided LA Services with experience in global procurement, lifting and logistics, fire proofing and coatings, creep and fatigue analysis and down to structural and civil challenges

Case Study

Completed 2019

Packinox Bundle Replacement Project

The refurbishment of Caltex’s Packinox heat exchanger required a bundle replacement to solve efficiency problems.

To do this the 80mm thick head needed to be cut off then re-welded into position.

With asset down time being costly an accelerated welding method was required to be able to complete the refurbishment within a planned refinery shutdown window.
