Metal
Tie-In Contracts: Bromine Plant Shutdown
Client:
Seven Mountain Construction (SMC) / Jordan Bromine Company (JBC)
During
a high-stakes planned shutdown at the Jordan Bromine Company, Synergy was
commissioned by Seven Mountain Construction to oversee the quality of critical
"tie-ins." These connections are the most vulnerable points in a
piping system, and during a shutdown, they must be executed with 100% accuracy
to ensure a safe and timely plant restart.
The
Technical Edge
Because
bromine is highly corrosive and hazardous, the integrity of every new weld was
non-negotiable. Synergy deployed specialized surface testing to validate the
new installations:
*
Liquid Penetrant Testing (PT): We performed high-sensitivity dye penetrant
inspections on all tie-in weld joints. This allowed us to detect even the
smallest surface-breaking cracks or porosities that could lead to chemical
leaks under operational pressure.
*
Shutdown Coordination: Working under strict time constraints, our team provided
rapid-response testing, allowing the construction crews to move from one tie-in
to the next without delaying the restart schedule.
The
Result
Our
precise NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) services ensured that every metal tie-in
met international safety and quality codes. By certifying the surface integrity
of these critical joints, Synergy helped Seven Mountain Construction deliver a
leak-free project for the Jordan Bromine Company, maintaining the facility's
environmental safety and operational continuity.
