Welding in hot conditions in Saudi Arabia
4 August 2019
Pipelines are built in many different places, from freezing cold Siberia to the plains of Central Asia and the scorching deserts in the Arabian peninsula and Africa. Every year, thousands of kilometers of pipelines are installed and maintained in extreme conditions that are incomparable to the steady, stable temperature conditions of the workshop. Pipelines may be installed and repaired at temperatures below -20°C or above +50°C.
