Flange facing, bolt tensioning and bolt torquing are all services that can reduce the risk of pressure plant leaks to atmosphere. When bundled and operated under our Joint Integrity Management program, the benefits are magnified. Plant integrity for flanged joints can be assured, so much so, that we provide a leak free guarantee on startup under specific conditions.

When plant joints are maintained and brought together under a controlled system such as this, plant reliability is enhanced. Reduced risk of leaks, longer life for joints, greater levels of materials reuse, traceable results all add up to enhanced plant integrity, enhanced plant reliability and reduced through-life cost.

Utilising bolt tensioning and flange facing services reduce the risk of leaks and immediately leads to a safer plant and a cleaner environment. Additionally, BLJ offers services designed to reduce the risk of injury during a shutdown or maintenance situation.

When bolted joints have the specified surface finish and flatness, the specified gasket and are brought together using correct bolt torquing techniques or bolt tensioning the chance of a leak is greatly reduced. The services provided by BLJ In-situ Solutions help our clients stay safe as well.

By undertaking the services on your site in-situ, immediately there is a cost reduction when compared with having to remove the item(s) and freight them to a workshop. Additionally, the turnaround time when doing the work in-situ is instantaneous once the work is completed. There’s no waiting to have it freighted back to you, let alone the time it would take to remove and freight the item in the first place. So, there is a significant time and cost savings through undertaking work in-situ. Operationally, there is also the enhanced plant integrity and reliability which leads to reduced through life costs. BLJ In-situ Solutions is delivering substantial cost savings.

With a plant that utilises our flange facing, bolt tensioning and bolt torquing services, or the Joint Integrity Management process, there is a significant ability to reduce the risk of flanged bolted joint failure. This, in turn, leads to enhanced plant integrity and reliability, which leads to operating more efficiently.

By implementing these in-situ services the plant has the ability to maximise operational efficiency. When specifications and best practice is implemented, operational efficiency increases. BLJ In-situ Solutions works with the customer to identify the critical areas that are appropriate for implementing a Joint Integrity Management process. Then, we work with the customer and major mechanical contractor to deliver a best practice solution.
