Process & Pipeline Pre-Commissioning Services
Fairtex provides integrated process and pipeline pre-commissioning services for onshore, offshore, and subsea assets including pipelines, risers, flowlines, umbilicals, FPSOs, LNG facilities, and petrochemical systems. Our services ensure systems are fully cleaned, tested, and conditioned for safe first-time startup.
The objective of pre-commissioning is to eliminate debris, control corrosion risk, verify mechanical integrity, and ensure product purity before operational handover. Fairtex delivers engineered solutions that reduce startup delays, minimize failure risk, and improve long-term asset performance.
Typical applications: oil & gas pipelines, LNG terminals, FPSOs, refineries, gas processing plants, petrochemical facilities, subsea flowlines and umbilicals
What this service covers
Pipeline Cleaning, Flooding & Gauging
Initial pipeline conditioning using controlled flooding, debris removal, gauging operations, and filtration to ensure internal cleanliness before testing and commissioning.
Hydrostatic Testing & Leak Verification
Pressure testing of pipelines and systems to confirm mechanical integrity and detect leaks prior to startup and product introduction.
Dewatering & Drying Services
Removal of residual water using air drying, nitrogen drying, or vacuum drying techniques to prevent corrosion and hydrate formation.
Nitrogen Inerting & Purging
Controlled nitrogen displacement and inerting to ensure safe environments for gas systems and eliminate explosion risks during startup.
Chemical Cleaning & Conditioning
Use of engineered chemical solutions to remove contaminants, control corrosion, and prepare internal surfaces for service conditions.
Umbilical & Fiber Optic Testing
Verification and testing of subsea umbilicals, control lines, and fiber optic systems for operational readiness and integrity assurance.
Process System Pre-Commissioning
Cleaning, flushing, and conditioning of process equipment including lube oil systems, pipelines, and auxiliary equipment for safe operational startup.
