Large-sized gate and check valves, including 56” 900 lbs gate valves with Inconel overlay, for the Berri Development Project

CHALLENGE:

To deliver large sized valves with enhanced corrosion and wear resistance, capable of withstanding severe service conditions at Aramco’s gas-oil separation facilities, while ensuring adherence to strict specifications and timelines for cladding and manufacturing.

SOLUTION:

AMPO POYAM VALVES designed and manufactured a range of highly engineered gate and swing check valves — up to 56” and 900 lbs — featuring Inconel 625 weld overlays on all wetted surfaces. All cladding operations were performed in-house at AMPO’s fully equipped manufacturing facilities in Spain using advanced robotic welding and automated cladding cells. The 56” gate valve alone required 12 weeks of continuous cladding, delivering optimal resistance to corrosion, coking, metal dusting, and wear. The trust placed by Aramco and Saipem in AMPO is grounded in decades of successful collaboration and proven expertise in designing custom-engineered valve solutions for critical infrastructure projects.
