Upon request, Schmidt and Clemens will gladly support you with a team of highly qualified and skilled welding technicians at your operating site.

Connecting the various components of your plant is a challenge that requires experience and knowledge - especially when integrating new parts and materials into a plant that has already been in operation for many years. It is important to provide the best solution for each individual situation - a job where you can rely on our experience.

Our project team is constantly in action

Subheader

How economically and durably coils, harps, reformer tubes, manifolds and t-pieces perform depends on how well they are fitted into your plant. That is why the welding experts from S+C Installation Services are directly on site during this phase in order to coordinate and monitor the whole process.

Here, they play an active role in further developing the welders’ skills and choosing the best-qualified persons in each case for a specific job. As part of the work preparation process, they check all the relevant work equipment and subsequently supervise or support the welding work.

We have so far successfully handled over 200 projects in 30 countries in this way, and are especially proud of one achievement in particular: an accident-free work record.

Letter of Appreciation - June 2016

We employed Schmidt + Clemens in a supervisory capacity for replacement of our Primary Reformer outlet cones, primarily to assist us with the anticipated difficulties associated with making large, heavy-wall, Inconel welds from the new cones to the aged tee-pieces.

We initially utilised Schmidt + Clemens to assist us with developing the weld procedures and took their advice on board to refine the procedures such that they were commensurate with welding new to aged material (accounting for the potential for cracking of thermally embrittled aged material). We then employed a third party to carry out the welding itself and immediately ran into problems with cracking of the weld metal, highlighted by radiography of the root and hot pass.

The on-site Schmidt + Clemens welding supervisor helped us to develop a new welding sequence, within the confines of our weld procedure, in order to reduce thermal stresses generated during the welding process and thereby prevent cracking of the weld metal. The welding supervisor also helped us with weld setup, argon purging parameters, supervision of individual welder performance and welding programme, working whatever hours were necessary to complete the work.

Without the assistance of the Schmidt + Clemens supervisor and the technical backing of the wider Schmidt + Clemens site team, we would have really struggled to identify an appropriate way forward to ensure adequate weld quality. We have found Schmidt + Clemens to be extremely helpful and would not hesitate to use them again in future.

Doing it new? Then do it right!

In view of increasing demand but falling personnel numbers, our experts are available to assist you, if desired, all the way from setting up the construction site through to recommissioning of the plant and so ensure that you always have sufficient qualified staff on hand.

To make sure your new plant works as efficiently as possible, we will already come on board before dismantling of the existing systems and so analyse the components to be replaced. Our material analyses in this early phase give you the opportunity to incorporate optimisations in terms of both materials and design into the new system.
