SPECIALIZED SERVICES FOR KUWAIT’S OIL & GAS SECTOR

“We have a strategy to become different than others by acquiring new specialized services which support our business and strength in oil and gas. In 2015, HOT Engineering set a new strategy to achieve sustainability and continuity in this field. We want to become one of the leading Kuwaiti contractors in oil and gas. In order to achieve this, we must leverage our strength in oil and gas in three different fields: electric instrument, mechanical, and civil. As part of our specialized services, HOT Engineering is now entering the field of providing pre-commissioning and commissioning activities. None of the local companies have these services. In any project, especially in the oil and gas sector, there is a budget for pre-commissioning and commissioning activities, which include cleaning the pipelines, doing leak tests, and making sure everything in the field reflects the design drawings. We have also become the agency for an American company and we offer a specialized service to do pipe cleaning using hydro jet. We call it “hydro milling”. Hydro milling allows for cleaning in a very professional way in a very short time, which saves money. This specialized service is not available anywhere else in Kuwait.” – Nawaf A.
