Clemco for Oil Gas Fabrication
Oil and gas fabrication shops prepare skids, pipe supports, tanks, vessels, frames and structural steel before coating. Clemco blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems need coordinated planning for heavy part movement, abrasive recovery, dust collection and compressed air connections.

Skid And Frame Clearance
Fabricated skids and structural frames can be tall, wide and awkward to maneuver. Blast area planning should confirm door sizes, crane or forklift access, turning space and room for operators to reach underside and corner surfaces.
Abrasive Recovery Layout
Reclaim equipment should match how parts enter, where abrasive falls and how cleanup crews work between jobs. Floor recovery, hoppers and separators need access that remains clear after racks and staging areas are set.
Compressed Air And Controls
Blast performance depends on compressed air delivery, dry air, electrical service, lighting and reliable control wiring. Piping and panels should be routed to reduce pressure loss while staying accessible for maintenance.
Install Sequence Around Production
Installation or relocation should be sequenced with welding, fit-up, coating and shipping areas. Rigging paths, utility shutdowns, roof or wall penetrations and collector placement should be settled before equipment arrives.
Frequently asked questions
What oil and gas fabrication details affect Clemco blast room sizing?
Part length, width, height, weight, lifting method, coating flow, operator access needs and staging space all affect room or booth layout.
Why review compressed air before installation?
Blast equipment needs stable air volume and pressure. Existing piping, dryers, drops and compressor capacity should be checked before final connection planning.
What should be checked before relocating a reclaim system?
Check floor openings, conveyor or hopper dimensions, abrasive storage, separator access, electrical routing and how the reclaim path will align with the new blast location.
How can dust collector placement affect fabrication flow?
A poorly placed collector can block aisles, crane paths, shipping lanes or maintenance access. It also affects duct length, exhaust routing and filter service.
