In the energy sector, we know that a single leaking joint can seriously effect production, cause a spike in emissions, and compromise safety. The real challenge is managing thousands of them across complex, high-pressure piping networks with absolute confidence & precision.

As a global leader in mechanical integrity, MCCS offers expert Flange Management, with certified personnel trained to Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) standards. Our well-trained offshore project engineer teams ensure a controlled flange management system, providing tailored packages based on the specific needs of the client. By partnering with MCCS, you optimis your pipeline maintenance, ensuring flawless process safety, and maximise asset uptime.

Bolted Joints Expertise

MCCS specialises in both managing Tension Joints and Shear Joints, crucial components in pressurised systems, with highly qualified teams adept at preventing self-loosening of bolted connections under extreme dynamic loads. As you know, not all bolted joints are equal. Achieving a leak-free seal requires complex specialised mechanical calculations that account for thermal expansion, gasket relaxation, and joint configuration.

MCCS brings specialist bolt expertise to your project:

• Controlled Hydraulic Torqueing: Using calibrated, hydraulic wrenches to deliver uniform load distribution across all fasteners.
• Advanced Bolt Tensioning: Applying direct axial loads to stretch the bolts simultaneously, eliminating frictional inaccuracies to ensure ideal gasket compression.

By utilising precise and calculated bolt loads, MCCS eliminates the leading causes of early joint failure.

On-Site Flange Facing and Machining

Warped, pitted, or scored by corrosion, replacing the entire flange face causes massive delays and often unnecessary added costs. MCCS aims to resolves this on-site, in real-time.
MCCS offer portable flange facing and machining services to restore these damaged surface seals. By carrying out this work on-site, it reduces the costly component line cut-outs, saving costly downtime.

Flange Breakout Services

During turnarounds, shutdowns, or modifications, getting the system apart safely is just as critical as putting it back together. Corrupted, seized, or heavily corroded bolts can extend and disrupt tight schedules.
MCCS offer controlled flange breakout services during maintenance intervals. Customised services for Brownfield, Spool Replacement, Joint Inspection, Gasket Replacement, etc.

Puma Plus Specialist Software

What sets MCCS apart from traditional mechanical contractors is our data-driven approach to joint integrity.
MCCS projects are powered by Puma Plus, our own, industry-leading flange management software.

This allows for:

• Full Digital Reporting: Every flange is logged with a unique identifier, tracking its full history, technician ID, component batch numbers, and final torque values.
• Accurate Calculations: Puma Plus computes exact torque and tension requirements based on specific gasket, bolt, and flange materials, removing human mathematical error.
• Live Data: Project managers gain real-time visibility into QA/QC status, tracking assembly completion and leak-test readiness at a glance.

Enhanced Productivity

MCCS use cross-trained engineers, looking at everything from machining, breakout to final tensioning, reducing delays between different contractors. Add the seamless integration of flange management software and manpower, not only optimises labour efficiency, but ensures turnaround times finishes and safely, often achieving objectives ahead of schedule.

Predictive Maintenance

The data captured by our flange management system is stored. By archiving historical joint stress data and assembly records, MCCS can provide your teams with the acturate data required for predictive maintenance. By ensuring knowledge is readily available, tracking which lines experience the highest stress over time, make it easier to plan targeted inspections, and stop leaks before they occur.

Why Work with MCCS

When you are dealing with high-pressure lines, volatile chemicals, and strict environmental compliance, being just “good enough” is a liability. MCCS International pairs well-trained offshore project engineer teams with the world’s most advanced digital tracking to deliver absolute joint assurance.
