Rohner for Oilfield Equipment
Oilfield equipment finishing can include skids, frames, housings, pipe supports, tanks, guards and welded assemblies that need protective coatings before shipment or assembly. Rohner equipment in these workflows can include large equipment booths, open-face booths, blast rooms, paint mixing rooms, make-up air and exhaust systems. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services the mechanical connections that support coating, airflow, exhaust and utilities.

Skid Size And Work Access
Oilfield skids and frames often combine heavy members, pockets, brackets and mounted components. The finishing area should leave room for operators to reach under frames, around supports and into recessed corners. Door approach, crane access and cart or forklift paths should be reviewed with the equipment footprint.
Prep Flow For Protective Coatings
Blast, blowdown, masking, primer, topcoat and inspection areas should be arranged to reduce handling after surface preparation. Dirty work, clean coating and finished staging need clear boundaries where the building allows them. Utility drops and ductwork should stay out of the path of heavy assemblies.
Ventilation And Heat Demands
Large oilfield work can require significant exhaust, replacement air and heat. Fan placement, discharge routing, make-up air, burner connections, compressed air and electrical feeds should be reviewed together so the finishing area supports production without fighting the rest of the building.
Relocation Readiness
When a booth or blast room is moved, the plan should account for utility isolation, roof or wall openings, panel condition, duct sections, doors, lights and control locations. Service space should remain open after the equipment is reset, especially around fans, filters and burners.
Frequently asked questions
What information helps plan oilfield equipment finishing?
Part dimensions, skid weights, handling method, coating steps, utility locations, roof access, staging space and inspection requirements are useful before a site visit.
Why is blast-to-paint movement important?
After surface prep, the workpiece should avoid dust and unnecessary handling. A clear route from blast to coating helps protect prepared surfaces.
What utilities should be reviewed for a large booth?
Review electrical service, gas where heat is used, compressed air, controls, exhaust routing, make-up air intake and discharge locations.
Can oilfield skids be finished in an open-face booth?
Some workflows can use open-face equipment, depending on size, coating method, airflow needs, operator access and surrounding plant layout.
What should be checked during service work?
Common checks include filters, lights, doors, seals, fan access, duct condition, burner components, controls and any damaged panels.
