After being awarded a huge contract to support the transmitter industry in the Middle East, Oliver Valves prepared its production facilities for the manufacture of nearly 2,000 units of their 2 and 5 valve consolidated Manifold Valves.

Winning the project comes down to a culmination of efforts, explains Business Development Manager, Haridas Embanath, “Oliver’s are very excited to be working with our clients again to deliver on this huge project. When specifying work, it’s often easy for a supplier’s ability to fully understand the clients’ project requirements to be overlooked in favour of a purely cost-driven solution. The close relationship we have with our clients, ensures a great trust between the two, not only in our ability to meet demanding schedules, and deliver customised valve solutions that are truly world-class, but also reductions in cost.”

Having liaised with the client’s procurement teams in Europe and the Middle East over a 6-month period, Oliver Valves successfully delivered the best cost solution for the client, and is to provide engineering support throughout the project.

Oliver Valves has won a significant order to supply a large number of Metal Seated Double Block and Bleed Ball valves to a Major Green Field onshore project located in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Territory Manager for the Middle East, Haridas Embanath says “winning the order was the result of strong relationships with our distributor network and end users in the region, but it’s really down to the efforts of our engineering and support team that provided the perfect valve solution to meet difficult cost restraints.”

Value engineering is second-nature to Oliver’s. By working closely with customers and engineering consultants, the scope of work can be understood and project objectives fully realised. Cost is a fundamental consideration for customers, and modelling scenarios using various combinations of materials and designs can help to find the best valve solutions possible. Value engineering on this project has resulted in valves manufactured with Carbon Steel body and trim, and Inconel Weld Overlay. The estimated additional saving for the customer is around 20% – 30%.

Oliver’s have recently appointed MRC, Norway as their authorised distributor for its Oliver Valves, Oliver Twinsafe, and along with its newly established company for the hydrogen and carbon capture market, Oliver Hydcovalves.

Product design and application training was delivered on Double Block and Bleed Valves as well as a range of Valves for severe service including; Hydrogen Applications, Zero Seat Leakage, and Low Emission Valves tested up to +200°C.  Technical aspects of Pipeline Valves for Low Temperatures operable at -50°C to -196°C, and valves tested up to High Temperatures of +500°C.

Main design and material features such as metal seats and stem pack arrangements were covered. This provided an insight into Oliver’s competitive advantage and highlighted unique benefits to its customers. An element of the training included information about significant testing and R&D capabilities that allow for customised solutions to be achieved at scale.

Oliver’s Area Sales Manager for Scotland & Scandinavia, Colin Wood, said “Delivering quality training to distributors is the foundation of our success. Having made the trip to MRC Global’s operation in Bergen, it was a real pleasure to spend a lot of time with the MRC team and learn from their experiences too. Relationships are as important to Oliver’s as the training itself, and we’re very excited by the prospect of this new partnership in Norway.”
