OIL & GAS

Technical Teams for Oil & Gas Fabrication, Maintenance and Shutdowns

Coded welders, pipefitters and complete crews for oil, gas and process-industry work across Europe — onshore, offshore and in the fabrication shops that supply them. We can supply the people under your supervision, or take on an agreed scope with our own team.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

Oil and gas work rarely fails on capability alone. It fails when the right discipline is not on the work front at the point the programme needs it — during a shutdown window that cannot move, or in a fabrication shop where the next spool is waiting on a qualified weld.

FABRICATION AND PREFABRICATION

Workshop fabrication of pipe spools and structural assemblies, feeding site and offshore installation programmes.

INSTALLATION AND MODIFICATION

Installation, tie-in and modification work on plant, terminals and offshore assets, onshore and offshore.

MAINTENANCE, SHUTDOWNS AND TURNAROUNDS

Crews mobilised around fixed shutdown windows, where sequencing and available disciplines decide whether the window is met.

TWO WAYS WE WORK ON AN OIL & GAS PROJECT

WORKFORCE SOLUTIONS

Your scope. Your supervision. Our people.

Qualified welders, pipefitters and complete crews integrated into your own site organisation. RAM handles employment, documentation, mobilisation and workforce administration; your organisation directs the work and retains control of scope and day-to-day execution unless agreed otherwise. Typical on shutdowns and turnarounds, where the client’s planning team already owns the sequence.

TECHNICAL SUBCONTRACTING

A defined scope. A RAM-managed team.

Where the requirement is a package rather than additional hands, RAM can take on an agreed scope — a prefabrication package, a defined installation area, a modification scope — with the trades, supervision and coordination organised around the deliverables, interfaces and acceptance criteria set out in the contract. What each side carries is fixed before mobilisation.

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES FOR OIL & GAS

WELDING & FABRICATION

Coded welders and fabrication crews for pipe, structural and plate work, matched to the process, position and material the scope requires.

PIPING & PIPEFITTING

Spool fabrication, assembly, installation, tie-ins and modification work on process and utility systems.

STRUCTURAL & MECHANICAL INSTALLATION

Platers, fitters and mechanical crews for structural assembly, erection, equipment installation and mechanical completion.

RIGGING & LIFTING SUPPORT

Riggers and crane operators supporting installation, equipment moves and shutdown logistics.

SCAFFOLDING & ACCESS

Scaffolders providing safe access for inspection, maintenance and installation work at height and in confined plant.

SURFACE TREATMENT & PRESERVATION

Blasting, industrial painting and corrosion-protection crews for preservation and coating scopes.

INDUSTRIAL CLEANING

Tank and plant cleaning crews, including high-pressure and ultra-high-pressure work.

SUPERVISION & SITE COORDINATION

Foremen and supervisors coordinating work fronts, sequencing crews against the programme and following up progress and quality on the agreed scope.

WELDING: PROCEDURE, QUALIFICATION AND THE DOCUMENTATION BETWEEN THEM

A weld on a process line and a weld on a structural bracket are not the same job, and a welder who is productive on one may not be qualified for the other.

RAM supplies coded welders across 111 (MMA / manual metal arc), 141 (TIG) and 136 (flux-cored MAG), selected against the actual welding scope rather than the job title alone.

Where a project works to approved welding procedures, several things need to align. The WPS defines how the weld is to be made, while the WPQR provides the qualification basis for that procedure. Separately, each welder holds an individual qualification range covering the processes and variables for which that person is qualified.

For personnel selection, RAM checks the proposed welder’s qualification range, relevant experience and required documentation against the project requirements made available for the assignment.

This distinction matters commercially as well as technically. A welder whose qualification range does not cover the required scope may not be accepted for that work, which can delay a critical work front — particularly during a shutdown or turnaround window.

BEFORE WE MOBILISE

UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE

We start with the work: the scope, the drawings and specifications where they are available, the programme, the disciplines required and the conditions on site. Headcount is the output of that conversation, not the opening question.

MATCH CAPABILITY TO THE TASK

Process, position, material, previous work environment and the documentation the project has to hand over all decide who is right. Someone productive on structural steel in a fabrication shop is not automatically the right person for tie-in work in a live plant.

CHECK QUALIFICATIONS AND DOCUMENTATION

Before anyone is proposed for mobilisation we check the qualifications, certificates and project-specific documentation that apply to the assignment — against what the project asks for, rather than against a generic standard.

AGREE RESPONSIBILITY

Scope, supervision, interfaces, deliverables and who carries what are settled before work starts. Under Workforce Solutions your organisation directs execution; under Technical Subcontracting RAM coordinates the agreed scope as contracted.

TELL US ABOUT THE SCOPE

Tell us what the work is, where the plant or asset is, which disciplines it involves and when it has to mobilise. If it is a shutdown, the window matters more than the headcount — tell us that first. From there we can discuss the delivery model and what mobilisation would involve.

You do not need a final scope to start the conversation.
