Jack and Roll Services
In critical industrial sectors such as the oil sands, the Once-Through Steam Generator (OTSG) is an essential asset for producing large quantities of high-pressure steam. Subjected to continuous operation under extreme thermal and pressure stresses, these systems are susceptible to material degradation, reduced thermal efficiency, and an escalating risk of component failure. Altex can work with you to get your OTSG back up and running again. It is critical that your unit has minimal downtime to ensure that production has the steam they need for maximum oil production.
At Altex Industries, Canada’s trusted partner for industrial lifecycle solutions, we understand that OTSG repairs are critical to keep production going. The consistent and reliable production of steam allows for the capture of heavy oil deposits (in SAGD production) and the extraction process. Our highly experienced OTSG crews are available to ensure that your OTSG is repaired quickly during unplanned maintenance events. By partnering with Altex, you are investing in the reliability of your operations, minimizing the risk of costly unplanned downtime, and ensuring that your OTSG continues to operate at peak efficiency for years to come
The Field Service division of Altex specializes in executing difficult, highly technical mechanical work on our customer sites. Our Jack and Roll Services provide a safe, controlled solution for moving large heat exchangers and other heavy process equipment within operating facilities. Using engineered lift plans, specialized hydraulic jacking systems, and precision rolling equipment, our experienced field crews relocate equipment while minimizing risk to personnel, surrounding assets, and ongoing operations.
The general steps included in any Jack and Roll are:
Lifting – specialized hydraulic jacks lift the exchanger or vessel.
Rolling – steel skates are placed underneath the load
Move – the load is pulled or pushed along the engineered tracks to its location
Designed for the demanding conditions of oil and gas, petrochemical, and industrial facilities, our Jack and Roll capabilities support equipment installation, replacement, maintenance, and turnaround activities. Every move is carefully planned and executed to ensure precise positioning, structural integrity, and compliance with site safety requirements. Whether relocating a single exchanger or coordinating complex equipment movements during a major turnaround, our team delivers the expertise, equipment, and execution needed to complete the job safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
Contact Altex Industries today to develop an engineered Jack and Roll plan to safely support your turnaround or maintenance needs.
