Services

We take on complex facilities, guide them through expert reviews and support construction

Operating hazardous production facilities, hydrogen sulphide and abnormally high formation pressure, −57 °C during surveys, non-metallic pipelines where there were almost no standards. Our own designers, surveyors and special machinery — 60+ specialists in Tyumen and Saratov.

Signature expertise

Re-equipment instead of reconstruction

80%

of cases: the client calls it reconstruction, but it is actually technical re-equipment

How the work is classified determines the scope of documentation, the expert review and the timeline. We start with a pre-design survey and technical solutions (OTR) — and isolate what is genuinely re-equipment of a hazardous production facility.

“Type of work” test · 6 outcomes

5–8 questions

Is there an already built and operating facility where the work is planned?

  • New construction
  • Reconstruction
  • HPF technical re-equipment
  • Major overhaul
  • Routine repair
  • Modernisation

A decision tree based on Art. 1 of the Town Planning Code and 116-FZ: the result is the type of work with a reference to the article, the scope of documentation, the expert review and whether a construction permit is needed.

A preliminary guide; the final decision follows the pre-design survey.

Flagship expertise

Non-metallic RTP pipelines

Reinforced thermoplastic pipes instead of steel on field pipelines — where there were almost no standards. We went from the first request to Rostekhnadzor to the Far North.

  1. 2017

    First opening

    The FNP “Rules for safe operation of in-field pipelines” (Rostekhnadzor Order No. 515) opened the way for non-metallic pipes.

  2. 2020

    Expansion

    The FNP “Safety rules in the oil and gas industry” (Rostekhnadzor Order No. 534) broadened the use of non-metallic pipelines.

  3. 2021

    Western Siberia · DN80

    Field pipelines at well pads. There was almost no experience of the technology in Russia, and the client had serious doubts. We sent a request to the central office of Rostekhnadzor and received a positive answer: the expert review was passed and the work completed. At the client’s request, together with the manufacturers, we developed a strength and stability calculation method and a maintenance method.

  4. 2021

    ГОСТ Р 59834-2021

    Russian manufacturers developed a standard for flexible reinforced polymer pipes for field pipelines: up to 35 MPa, up to 95 °C, DN 32–200.

  5. Today

    Far North · DN200

    Design documentation for the development of a subsoil block in the Far North: RTP pipelines of the maximum diameter DN200, made in Russia to GOST R 59834-2021.

Why not steel: corrosion, long installation, weld inspection, electrochemical protection — and lead times for corrosion-resistant pipes can be 1–2 years.
