Custom Fabrication Capabilities
Our fabrication team specializes in producing high-quality components essential for oil and gas drilling rigs, including 4F Certified Substructures, Mast, Crowns, and intricate piping systems. We have extensive experience working with high-strength steels and applying specialized coatings and liners to ensure resistance to harsh environmental conditions, including corrosion. We can fabricate structural steel in a wide range of thicknesses and alloys, from as thin as 0.0625” to a robust 3.5”, providing the durability and strength required for demanding drilling operations.
Installation for Critical Equipment
Both offshore and land-based drilling rigs need a wide range of equipment to support their self-contained operation. For land-based rigs, we handle everything from start to finish, including the mast, derrick, substructure, mud systems, water tanks, engine skids, jacking systems, wind walls, and all the necessary piping.
For offshore platforms, we source or fabricate key equipment such as the derrick, drawworks, mud pumps, and rotary table, and process equipment like separators and treaters. We also install everything from kitchen equipment in the crew living quarters to heavy-duty cranes to emergency shutdown systems.
Precision Piping, Electrical and Instrumentation
Piping for oil and gas construction is intricate, with numerous bends, connections, and supports to maintain flow and prevent stress on the system. They handle hydrocarbons at extreme pressures and temperatures, so experienced pipefitters and welders are essential to prevent leaks and ensure safety.
Our electricians can install the electrical systems needed to power the sophisticated instrumentation and control systems that monitor and regulate drilling operations. Accurate and reliable instrumentation is crucial for monitoring pressure, temperature, flow rate, and liquid levels, so the electrical systems must be able to withstand harsh conditions, including potential power surges and lightning strikes.
Strong Safety Culture
At RUS Industrial, we maintain a safe work environment on every heavy industrial construction project we complete. Our commitment to safety includes comprehensive training, proactive hazard identification, and strict adherence to safety protocols.
Quality Control and Timeline Management
We also understand the importance of on-time project delivery in the demanding oil and gas industry. Our project managers proactively address potential delays to keep construction on track while never compromising on quality. Our dedicated QAQC team works in parallel with project management to perform detailed checks at every stage.
