Case study: 4,800-joint Refinery Turnaround with Controlled Bolting | Riis Energy Services

The challenge

The turnaround window was fixed at 32 days and the previous event had 41 leaks at start-up.

Our solution

Northline deployed a 64-person bolting crew with a digital joint register, tagged every joint, and applied ASME PCC-1 assembly procedures with independent QC sign-off.

The results

Start-up with 2 minor leaks (down from 41) and turnaround completed one day early.
