Mechanical Services for Oil & Gas Facilities

A Deep Dive into Solution Services’ Full-Scope Mechanical Division

Introduction: More Than Cleaning—We Keep Industry Running

At Solution Services, we’re known for setting the bar in industrial cleaning—but that’s just the beginning. Our Mechanical Services division is the muscle behind the maintenance, reliability, and performance of critical systems across oil and gas infrastructure. Whether it’s an emergency flange repair, a full heat exchanger pull, or pressure relief valve servicing, our mechanical crews keep assets online, compliant, and operating at peak efficiency.

When clients call us, they’re not just getting a cleaning company—they’re getting a mechanical contractor with the tools, experience, and integrated approach to support everything from short-call maintenance to full-facility shutdowns.

What We Do: Full-Scope Mechanical Services, Built for the Field

Our mechanical service offerings cover a wide spectrum of support functions tailored to midstream and downstream operations. From exchangers and pressure vessels to field piping and PSV management, we execute with precision.

✔ Exchanger Services

We provide full exchanger pull and service—including extraction, rodding, lancing, hydro-testing, and reinstallation. Whether air-cooled or shell-and-tube, our crews work in sync with our high-pressure cleaning team to deliver turnarounds faster and cleaner.

✔ Bundle Pulling and Rodding

With hydraulic bundle pullers and experienced operators, we remove and service heat exchanger bundles with minimal disruption. Our tight coordination with tank and line cleaning divisions allows us to execute combined scopes with efficiency.

✔ Valve Services & Repair

Our mobile valve technicians handle both inline and bench repairs for gate, globe, ball, butterfly, and control valves. We inspect, test, rebuild, and tag each valve to provide traceable service history and ensure site compliance with OH&S and facility specifications.

✔ PSV Servicing (Pressure Safety Valves)

We calibrate, test, and re-certify PSVs on-site or in-shop, ensuring your overpressure protection systems are fully compliant and operational before start-up.

✔ Mechanical Piping & Welding

Our mechanical crews handle small-bore piping, tie-ins, and fabrication of brackets, supports, and skids. We work under tight deadlines and always in accordance with ABSA codes and facility permit requirements.

✔ Plant & Field Maintenance

From regular maintenance to unplanned call-outs, our mechanical teams support a range of facilities including gas plants, terminals, refineries, and tank farms. Our teams arrive job-ready, fully equipped, and safety-certified.

Why Mechanical Services Matter in Today’s Oil & Gas Industry

In today’s energy sector, margins are tighter, regulations are stricter, and uptime is everything. Mechanical services aren’t just a support function anymore—they’re a frontline defense against unplanned outages, environmental violations, and safety risks.

🛠️ Aging Infrastructure Requires Smarter Maintenance

Much of Western Canada’s midstream and downstream infrastructure was built decades ago. With age comes risk—corrosion, metal fatigue, seized valves, and degraded gaskets. Staying ahead of these issues requires proactive mechanical intervention, not just reactive patchwork.

⚙️ Facility Uptime is King

Every hour a facility is offline costs thousands in lost throughput. Mechanical readiness—whether it’s pulling bundles, swapping valves, or certifying PSVs—directly impacts how fast you can get back online. Delays from mismanaged mechanical scopes are no longer acceptable.

📈 Regulatory Pressure Keeps Rising

Alberta OH&S, ABSA, and AER requirements are tightening, especially around leak prevention, PSV certification, and pressure vessel integrity. Our mechanical services ensure that maintenance work not only keeps you operational—but compliant and audit-ready.

🔗 Mechanical Work is the Link Between Disciplines

In a typical turnaround, mechanical execution connects everything—cleaning, inspection, testing, and commissioning. Without coordinated mechanical services, workflows break down, delays stack up, and costs spiral. We bridge the gap between disciplines so everything flows.

🔍 The Push Toward Data-Driven Maintenance

Clients aren’t just looking for “wrench time” anymore. They want traceability, inspection records, valve logs, and condition-based reporting. Our mechanical crews document everything in the field, supporting smarter future planning and CAPEX forecasting.

Integrated Services: How Mechanical Work Ties In with Our Broader Capabilities

What sets Solution Services apart is the way we integrate mechanical work into larger scopes of service. Most competitors silo their mechanical and cleaning crews—creating delays, miscommunications, and inefficiencies.

We don’t. Here’s how our mechanical division enhances full project execution:

Turnarounds & Shutdowns: We combine mechanical, valve, and cleaning crews under one project manager—streamlining workflow and drastically reducing downtime.
Tank and Vessel Projects: While our tank division handles internal cleaning and robotics, our mechanical team manages manway removals, nozzle tie-ins, and mechanical isolation.
Piping and Line Work: When cleaning lines, our mechanical group is available for flange breaks, spool swaps, or valve remediation.
Degassing & Vapor Control: Mechanical support is often critical during vapor phase prep—particularly with the setup and tie-in of scrubbers, manifolds, or temporary piping.

Our ability to cross-train and deploy crews that understand both cleaning and mechanical workflows means our clients only need to make one call—and get one invoice.
