Specialist Support for Critical Industrial Applications

Every industrial site presents different equipment, operating conditions and maintenance requirements.


Captiva Sealing works closely with clients, contractors and existing suppliers to provide practical support tailored to the specific needs of each facility.


Our core services include:

Planning and Technical Preparation

Effective sealing performance begins with accurate planning.

 

Captiva Sealing can identify process equipment using plot plans, piping and instrumentation diagrams and site inspection information.

 

We can then prepare detailed work packs covering:

 

  • Equipment and joint identification
  • Recommended sealing technology
  • Gasket and packing specifications
  • Installation requirements
  • Bolt-loading information
  • Labour and time allocation
  • Inspection and quality requirements
  • Site-specific technical instructions

 

This helps ensure that work is properly defined before activity begins, reducing delays, uncertainty and avoidable installation problems.

Site Supervision

Our engineers have extensive experience working within demanding shutdown and turnaround environments.

 

Captiva Sealing can provide experienced contract supervision to help ensure sealing activities are completed safely, efficiently and to the required technical standard.

 

Supervision services may include:

 

  • Coordination of sealing activities

The objective is to improve valve sealing performance, reduce emissions and extend the reliable operating life of the equipment.

Joint Integrity and Flange Management

Reliable bolted joints require more than simply selecting a gasket.

 

Correct identification, specification, bolt loading, installation, inspection and documentation must all work together.

 

Captiva Sealing can provide a coordinated approach to joint integrity by supporting the complete sealing process, including:

 

  • Joint and flange identification

  • Final documentation
  •  

We can work alongside existing gasket suppliers, bolt-tensioning specialists and mechanical contractors to provide a single technical focus for joint integrity.

Gasket Specification Review

Incorrect or outdated gasket specifications can contribute to leakage, reduced reliability and unnecessary maintenance.

 

Captiva Sealing can review existing gasket selections and sealing arrangements based on:

 

  • Process conditions
  • Pressure and temperature
  • Flange design and condition
  • Media compatibility
  • Bolt loading
  • Installation requirements
  • Operating history
  • Previous sealing failures

 

Where appropriate, we can recommend alternative sealing technologies designed to improve performance and reduce lifecycle cost.

Fugitive Emissions and VOC Control

Captiva Sealing supports clients seeking to identify, control and reduce fugitive emissions from valves, flanges and other process equipment.

 

Services may include:

 

  • Leak identification
