Valvserve achieves
impressive growth
Jubail-based Pan Gulf Valvserve expects
to witness a 40 per cent overall growth
this year, on the back of its recent
successes in Saudi Arabia’s Western
Region, and its robust order book of
global contracts and Eastern Province
activities.
The company performs a range of repair,
maintenance and overhauling services
for valve and related components,
including pipeline intervention, leaks
and emissions control and mechanical
services.
Pan Gulf Valvserve has completed largescale projects in the Western Region and
in Kuwait involving pipeline intervention
services. Among its successful operations
is mechanical services onsite, offered
for shutdowns and turnarounds which
yielded 60 per cent of the revenues
(fiscal 2014-2015).
To ensure its continued growth in the
region, Valvserve has just invested in
new test benches for its three workshops
in Jubail and Yanbu in Saudi Arabia, and
in Bahrain, and portable safety relief
test benches for site services, which will
ensure that it can expand capacity and
grow the company further.

“We are looking to stabilise the
company and continually grow through
the addition of new complementary
services. Valvserve will continue to invest
in developing resources and expansion,”
said a company spokesman.
In line with this focus, renovation
work is ongoing at its Jubail facility,
while negotiations are under way for a
workshop in Yanbu. Its Bahrain operation
has recently relocated to a new and
improved facility. In addition, pipeline
intervention agency agreements have
been concluded in Kuwait and Oman.
“We are in-kingdom service partners
for the Mokveld range of valves, Solent
and Pratt range of valves, HP Valve
service partners, various OEM (original
equipment
manufacturing)
spares
suppliers and pipeline intervention
designers and suppliers. Other technical
partner tie-ups are being negotiated,” he
pointed out.
Valvserve, which used to operate as a
combined facility with a manufacturing
focus, started operating as an
independent company fully focused on
services since last year. Subsequently,
the development of control valve service
capability has resulted in an increase in
the service offering for the company.
The majority of the company’s services
include calibration and certification
of valves for new-build projects,
mechanical and instrumentation site
services for control valves, safety relief
valves and shut-off valves and pipeline
intervention services such as hot tapping
and line stoppling, he said.
Valvserve also increased its capacity
for larger-sized valves which resulted in
completing work on 96-inch butterfly
valves, while previously the maximum
size was only 66 inches.
“We have a team of skilled engineers
and technicians who are able to deliver
a complete range of services for
mechanical, safety and control valves.
The services range from vacuum to high
pressure across a broad spectrum of sizes
and pressure ratings,” he said.
Customer satisfaction is a key aspect of
Valvserve’s business model and the firm’s
ambition is to expand it service portfolio
to other related disciplines, with a
targeted new service each year to 2020.

Healthy backlog
keeps Pan Gulf
Valves busy
Pan Gulf Valves (PGV), one of
the leading manufacturers of a
comprehensive range of valves and
accessories in Saudi Arabia, says a
projected 15 per cent annual growth
in the industrial valves market will
help drive its business ahead.
The subsidiary of Pan Gulf Industrial
Investment says business has remained
consistent over the past four years and
it has orders worth $100 million in the
pipeline.
General manager Adil Sabri attributes
PGV’s secure position to a healthy
backlog, with the current dip in projects
not having affected its revenues as yet.
PGV caters to the needs of a range
of end-users across the industrial,
infrastructure and public utility sectors
including Saudi Aramco, Saudi Basic
Industries Corporation (Sabic), Saudi
Electricity Company (SEC), Ministry of
Water and Electricity (MoWE), Saline
Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC),
and the National Water Company (NWC).
During 2014-15, it won projects worth
$20 million and currently has prospects
marked to the order of $100 million.
Sabri says that even though demand for
industrial valves has currently dipped, he
believes the market will pick up and will
grow at a rate of 15 per cent annually.
“Growth will be proportionate for all
types of valves. The focus will be on
more intelligent equipment with a stress
on energy efficiency and alternate energy
solutions for remote installations,” says
Sabri.
Based in Dammam’s Second Industrial
8
City, PGV has assimilated nearly four
decades of expertise as a leading national
manufacturer and supplier of valves and
associated equipment for the oil and gas,
petrochemical, industrial, water, waste
water, power generation and desalination
sectors in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the
Gulf region.
The company, which has a sales and
services network that spans across the
kingdom and the Middle East and North
Africa (Mena) region, has developed an
in-depth understanding of its markets
and the needs and preferences of its
clients and end-users.
“Reflecting this, our designs and
products have evolved over the years
incorporating the most modern design
innovations to deliver an unsurpassed
level of quality and service to our endusers. Quality, reliability and expertise
are not simply ideals – they are everyday
words describing everything we do,” Sabri
points out.
PGV’s range of product includes isolation,
control and safety valves, firewater
equipment and associated accessories
as well as a special programme of
engineered products and pipeline
intervention equipment.
of the oil and gas industry with the
launch of a specialty range of products.
The company has invested recently in
a new manufacturing facility which is
currently prototyping high-pressure
butterfly, ball and globe valves. The
facility is equipped with an in-house
product validation and research and
development (R&D) centre. Among
certifications, it has acquired the required
ac-creditations such as API 6D, API Q1,
ISO 9001-2008, WRc-NSF.
In addition, PGV has production facilities
spread across 25,000 sq m with 8,000
sq m of covered production facilities;
1,500 sq m uncovered and a 13,000sq-m warehousing and logistics centre.
Its sales network operates out of its
branches in Al Khobar, Riyadh, Jeddah,
Yanbu and Bahrain. Sabri says that PGV remains concerned
by the continued fall in oil prices, and that
a slowdown in infrastructure projects is
expected. “Projects will be shelved or put
on hold, demand will dip. Expenditure
cool-downs will also affect operations
through spending freezes. A slowdown
for contractors and the retention and
acquisition of talent will be other areas of
concern,” Sabri says.
Looking ahead, the company plans to
make a foray into the upstream segment

What do you know
about Jet Lag?
Jet lag is the feeling of tiredness and confusion after a long airplane journey.
What is a Jet Lag?
Jet lag is the feeling of tiredness and
confusion after a long airplane journey.
It’s the result of the difficult adjustment
to a new time zone the body is going
through. Jet lag can disturb the sleep
pattern and make the traveler to feel
drowsy and lethargic (lacking in energy).
The more time zones a traveler crosses
during a long-duration flight, the more
severe the jet lag can become.
What causes jet lag?
Advice to Minimize Jet
Lag When Arriving at
the Destination:
• Establish a new routine –
eat and sleep at the correct
times for the new time
zone, not at the time you
usually eat and sleep at
home
• Avoid napping as soon as
arriving – even if you’re tired after a
long flight, staying active until the
correct time to sleep will help your
body adjust quicker
The world is divided into 24 different
time zones. The body’s natural 24-hour
clock (circadian rhythm) is disrupted
after crossing time zones.
• Spend time outdoors – natural
The body clock controls the sleep and
wake-up pattern.
Preventing jet lag
It can also affects:
• Appetite
• Digestion
• Body temperature
• Blood pressure
The body’s clock is set to the local time
so the traveler will feel hungry in the
morning and sleepy in the evening.
If someone travels across time zones
often, it can take a while for the body
clock to adjust to a new daily routine.
light will help your body adjust to a
new routine
It’s not possible to prevent jet lag,
but there are things you can do to reduce
its effects.
Who gets jet lag?
People of all ages can get jet lag, but it’s
more common in people over 60 years
of age.
Jet lag is thought to be less common
in babies and children. however, there’s
not enough evidence to confirm exactly
how many babies and children may
be affected. For example, make sure you’re well
hydrated before flying and drink plenty of
water and juices during the flight. Try to
rest during the flight by taking short naps.

disrupted after crossing time zones By: Raed Al Senan

Treating Jet-Lag
Jet lag can be a problem if someone
travels frequently for long distances.
However, it doesn’t usually cause any
serious or long-term health problems.
In most cases, the symptoms pass after
few days without the need for any
treatment.

GSW Builds a SuperHeater
GSW received this kind of project for the first time from SIPCHEM to manufacture three Super Heaters
weighing 40, 60 & 80 MT and successfully completed within 45 days.
A Super Heater is a device used to convert
saturated steam or wet steam into dry
steam used in processes, such as steam
reforming. There are three types of super
heaters namely: Radiant, Convection,
and separately fired.
The boiler units of steam electric power
plants always have super heaters,
because increased steam temperature
means higher thermal efficiency for the
plant. The effect of super heaters is to
heat the steam to certain temperature
for higher efficiency of the power station
A super heater consists of parallelmounted steel tubes, with internal
diameters of 20 to 60 mm, connected
directly to a boiler drum or to input,
output, and intermediate headers.
12
Depending on the direction in which the
steam moves relative to the flue gases,
super heaters are said to have parallel
flow (uni flow), counterblow, or mixed
flow. They are classified as radiant, screen
(semi radiant), or convection according
to the location of the super heater in
the boiler and the type of heat exchange
that results.
Super heaters composed entirely of
convection stages are usually installed
in average- or low-pressure boiler units
having superheated steam no hotter than
510°C. High-pressure boiler units with
considerable steam superheating use
composite super heaters, which include
convection, screen, and sometimes
radiant sections.
We have supplied convection type super
Heater to SIPCHEM. These heaters are
part of Convection Module Heater.
Advantage of these heaters are that
they are using Flue gas which normally is
flown thru chimney in to air for disbursing
and is wasted.
Since it was a shutdown project which
makes it very important to client to
be finished in time, there were many
bottlenecks and challenges starting from
critical material to completion on time.
Firstly the material, all the major material
was rare (P11 pipes with fins for high
temperature, 24” pipe) and was difficult
to source. Our procurement department
has done a great job by finding the right
suppliers at right time and a strong follow
www.pangulfholding.com
up has made the material available on
time. Not only this, our procurement
department has fulfilled the immediate
additional requirement by client as
addition in scope during the project
execution. We have sent our employees
to expedite the material.
Secondly skilled labor – Since it was
a unique job, relevant skilled labor
was critical to source. Our project
management interviewed 160 workers
and selected 90 highly experienced
SAW and TIG welders, which worked day
and night shifts (24 hours) to make this
project delivered on time. I would like to
add that the welding was not a regular
weld, 2 inch tubes with very narrow gap
which made it hard to weld.
Abrupt challenges are always part of any
project. Same happened to this project
as well. As per initial design by SIPCHEM,
all the three heaters were to transport
horizontally. But our Engineering team
has found on time that it will be too
wide to move within SIPCHEM plant.
PAN GULF NEWSLETTER
Thus, a quick decision was made to
deliver it vertically, by making three big
structure of 212 MT in 5 - 9 days only
to transport it vertically. We appreciate
the cooperation of our Structure Steel
Division who used their structural skills
and made these structures to hold the
heater with center of gravity on the
upper side of the frames.
is that client is ready to work with us on
their next projects & shutdowns. GSW
will target more project of same kind
with all plants.
We successfully cleared radiography and
hydro tests on all 3 heaters, this have
given us and client a lot of confidence on
the work done.
Other challenge was to lift the heaters
from horizontal to vertical position. We
have used two crawler cranes of 300 MT
each along with 800 MT mobile crane
with 8 riggers for synchronized lifting of
approx. 200 MT heater with structure.
Last but not the least, Finance extended
their usual cooperation and did not let us
face any problems with vendors.
We have built a huge trust with client
and kept GSW prestige. And the result

“My advice to my colleagues is to not give up and to keep learning and improving as there is no age
limit for learning”
Since I joined PGWS in 2012 I was
surrounded by multinational colleagues
who were depending on me and the HR
department to finalize their government
requirements, and to supply them with
the manpower they need to run the
business.
So I decided to improve my English
language in order to communicate and
explain the HR procedures to everyone
at the company.
At that time I found the opportunity
to improve my English by joining the
BIBF (Bahrain Institute for Banking
and Finance) after being granted the
approval from the general manager Mr.
Ron Barker.
The difficulty was in reconciling between
work, study, and my family.
I was attending the classes three times
a week in Bahrain which made me had
to leave the office at 4:30pm to catch
the class then commute back to reach
home at 10:30pm, at that time my
children would have been asleep and I
would have missed my time with them.
After six months of studying, the
institute granted me the diploma in
business English.
It was an interesting experience for
me because what I have learned a lot
in which benefited me in my work and
benefited those around me since I’m
able to communicate in English fluently
now.
My advice to my colleagues is to not give
up and to keep learning and improving as
there is no age limit for learning.

last 5 years.
Pan Gulf holding has been a regular
participator in the annual Charity Run
in Al-Khobar Corniche for the past few
years. Mujtaba Khan, an IT officer at
GMTS, has been the Technical Head at
the Charity Run for the last 5 years.
In 2011, Pan Gulf introduced Electronic
Timing System to support the Annual
Charity Run. The main objective was to
provide accurate ranking results using
electronic bib IDs. Providing marathon
16
results through electronic bib IDs is
considered the first in the history of
Saudi Arabia, and PGH had the privilege
of making it happen.
The project was given to Mujtaba by
the Managing Director, Mr. Khaled AlHamdan. During Mujtaba’s research on
the subject, he found the DAG SYSTEM
as the best Electronic Timing System
Vendor. After acquiring the complete
Electronic Timing System from DAG
SYSTEM EUROPE by PGH, the Technical
Team have been producing accurate
results and rankings for the runners.
“It was a challenge for us to make the
runners understand the importance of
wearing an electronic bib number, we
had to tell them No Electronic bib ID =
No Detection = No results!” Said Mujtaba.
Since 2011, 98% of the runners are
currently using Bib IDs. On the Race
Day, Mujtaba handles all the start line

detections at the starting point by using
Start Line Timing System and then
transfer all of it to the finishing point to
be able to calculate the results when
the runners complete the marathon.
Thus providing an accurate results and
ranking for all the legitimate runners is a
necessity for the marathon.
