Preservation, Packing & Transport

Preservation, Packing & transport

The preservation, packing and transport of pressure equipment is a critical path project activity as such extensive experience, skills and knowledge in coordinating these tasks are value add attributes LA Services can bring to large scale fabrication projects.

Pressure equipment preservation, packing and transport plays a significant role in the safe handling and elimination of issues at the point of installation and commissioning where lifting, condensation, gasket face damage can all add to the cost and delays in bringing new equipment online.

Two decades of design experience combined with the practical exposure our engineers receive daily through their workshop interaction ensures we think ahead about preservation, packing and transport ensuring appropriate lifting, moisture control and packing requirements are in place when needed to support the critical path.

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.
