Tulway Projects

GROUNDBREAKING RENEWABLE ENERGY

Tulway were contacted to attend site as a client had encountered major problems with some pre-installed piping that was welded to the incorrect specification.
Scope of work

Tulway surveyed the installation and subsequent documentation and drafted a quality plan to satisfy the notified body that we could salvage the vast majority of the pipe spools once we had repair procedures carried out in our workshop. The client could not thank us enough, as we salvaged the pipework from being written off.

HIGH TEMPERATURE EXOTIC ALLOY APPLICATION

Tulway was approached to fabricate and weld Hastelloy parts for a specialist high temperature duty.
Scope of work

The UK MoD had encountered serious problems sourcing the material, and couldn’t find a company who could turn these parts around within the specified timeframe. Not only did Tulway deliver these parts 3 weeks early, the subsequent design was utilised for other applications.

TOP-TIER COMAH MANUFACTURING FACILITY

A large chemical manufacturing business had installed 4 x 30³ glass-lined reactors and had a catastrophic failure on one of these reactors, which had to be replaced
Scope of work

Tulway acted as the principal contractor, liaising with scaffolding, insulation and electrical contractors, alongside designing the specialist lifting equipment to replace this 25 tonne vessel. We completed this project running next to a live chemical manufacturing facility, whilst overseeing control of all hot-work operations and numerous live pipelines. This project was completed within a six-week timeframe, from the damaged vessel being removed, without the loss of a single day’s production from other parts of the plant.

CREATE ADDITIONAL MANUFACTURING CAPACITY

During the Covid pandemic, Tulway was asked to install 3km of process piping, vessels and structural steelwork using P & ID’s for the entire installation.
Scope of work

As well as keeping our employees as safe as possible, we had to design this new facility from scratch. We completed this huge undertaking in six months from the first line being installed, to commissioning phase. Out of approximately 85 different pipe routes, our experienced fitters have a minimal amount of rework. In fact, we probably had less rework than a fully designed plant, due to the vast experience of our team on site.

PRE-ASSEMBLED 35 TONNE MODULAR UNIT

Assembled in Port Clarence, Tulway manufactured a 35-tonne structural frame for a global manufacturer in Billingham, Teesside.

Scope of work

After months of meticulous planning, the steel structure used grade S355 steel members, Execution Class III. The unit consisted of 316L st/st, PTFE lined piping and carbon steel piping. 

From the completion of design to shipping, our team of engineers based in both Middlesbrough and Knowsley workshops worked on this project around the clock for 12 weeks ensuring our high standards were delivered on time and on budget.

Tulway presented a quality solution that met our client’s requirements as well as assembling and erecting off-site,  saving thousands of hours in site disruption. The steel frame was lifted into position using a 500-tonne crane and the unit was erected in an 8-hour time frame.
