Tabteen-CPT is thrilled to announce the completion of its cement mortar lining (CML) scope for the Upgrade of Hali Dam – Shoaiba Water Transmission System.
The project was unique, as it recreated ‘’factory conditions’’ at the site by utilizing the latest automated mobile batch plant technology. The project involved the lining of 56-inch diameter CS pipes totalling 83.6 kilometres in length. Once the pipeline has been commissioned, there will be an increase in the capacity of the ’Hali Al-Shoaiba Transmission Line’, reaching a production capacity of up to 241,000 cubic meters per day (SWCC Annual Report, 2022).
The project scope was completed achieving zero lost time injuries (LTI), demonstrating outstanding safety performance and showing strong commitment to worker well-being through strict procedures, training, and a proactive safety culture.
Benefits of mobile batch plants include having the flexibility of being able to seamlessly move between different site locations in close proximity to the pipeline ROW. Setup is quick due to its pre-assembled structure, meaning Tabteen-CPT’s batching plants can be installed in a very short period of time on a simple concrete foundation.
Performing CML production at the site is proven to protect the product from potential damage that can occur during long distance transportation and double handling. Ultimately, this process will eradicate expensive repair costs and keep the project completion schedule on time. Moreover, in the case of Hali Dam – Shoaiba WTS, welding pipes into 24-meter sections prior to CML application was feasible, due the lining yard being located alongside the pipeline route.
Tabteen-CPT is the first and only company in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that offers the mobile batch plant solution and continues to remain at the forefront of the technological evolution of the CML industry. This initiative represents a huge milestone for the organisation, demonstrating its capability to mobilise to remote locations in both the East and West of the country.
Tabteen-CPT is expected to begin CML of segment bends and girth-weld joints during Q1-2026 for the project.
The management at Tabteen-CPT would like to thank everyone who was involved in the project for their hard work, dedication, and expertise. Your commitment to excellence, innovative ideas, and seamless teamwork have been the driving force behind our success.
