Our philosophy is simple: people and technologies are the key to operational excellence. ## Rabab Harweel Integrated Project The RHIP pipeline network spans **67 km and 96 km**, transporting natural gas efficiently from the reservoirs to processing facilities. The project uses **X65 steel pipes**, ranging from **6" to 20" in diameter**, with wall thicknesses of **12–50 mm**. Al Turki deployed [PWT’s XCS automatic welding system](https://qapqa.com/equipment/xcs-welding-system/), delivering automated, high-integrity welding performance for critical gas infrastructure in challenging desert conditions and high-spec energy operations. This advanced technology enabled the team to overcome the challenging terrain and maintain safety and efficiency throughout construction. This modern gas pipeline project demonstrates Oman’s growing capacity to deliver world-class infrastructure. By combining Al Turki Enterprises’ engineering expertise with Qapqa's advanced welding technology, the RHIP pipeline strengthens local capabilities, creates skilled jobs, and ensures safe and efficient gas transportation across the region.
