Faster. Consistent. High-Quality Pipeline Welding.
Petrogas provides welding automation solutions for pipeline construction, repairs and specialized oil and gas applications.
Our approach combines automatic, semi-automatic and manual welding technologies to deliver quality, flexibility and productivity.
Pipeline Welding
Automation for Critical Infrastructure
Automatic welding is an increasingly important technology for pipeline construction and repair.
Pipelines, tank farms and refineries encompass some of the most important installations in the oil and gas industry.
Moving and storing petroleum products requires specialized equipment that meets stringent standards and must be consistently inspected and maintained.
Petrogas supports these requirements with specialized welding automation equipment, experienced teams and technical solutions.
Automatic Welding
High-Speed Welding for Pipeline Projects
Automatic welding is widely used for building large-diameter onshore and offshore pipelines, as well as pipelines used in gathering systems.
For smaller diameter applications, manual welding remains common, while automation is increasingly being applied to these applications as well.
Semi-automatic welding can also play an important role in pipeline repair applications, reducing the dependence on manual welding.
Combined Technical Approach
The Right Welding Method for the Application
Petrogas combines welding technologies to provide practical solutions suited to project requirements.
Semi-Automatic Welding
Flexible welding technology particularly useful for pipeline repair and selected construction applications.
Manual Welding
Manual stick electrode welding where project conditions and application requirements call for greater flexibility.
The combined use of automatic, semi-automatic and manual stick electrode welding creates a flexible technical approach capable of delivering uniform quality and high-speed welding while supporting lower cost, flexibility and standardization.
Welding Automation System
Integrated Pipeline Welding Technology
A high degree of welding automation can be achieved through the use of an internal line-up clamp equipped with an onboard welding system to perform the root pass.
External welding equipment can then perform the fill and cap passes.
The technology is particularly advantageous for large pipeline projects where long distances and larger pipe diameters make productivity and consistency especially important.
Key Advantages
Why Welding Automation?
High Productivity
Automated processes can significantly increase welding productivity on suitable projects.
Consistent Quality
