PIPELINE NEWS August 2012
Rev steps on the expansion pedal Kerrobert – Rev Energy Services Ltd. in Kerrobert is on an expansion tear, adding two new divisions and a huge 31,000 square foot shop in a second location fronting Highway 21 south in just over a year. The local company is diversifying its core business in oilďŹ eld construction and maintenance, and pipeline maintenance in Western Canada, with an eye to national and international markets. The building houses the new Rev Internal
Coatings division for tubular pipe. Space for the Energy Process System division for oilďŹ eld fabrication is currently located at the old shop in town. The building features oďŹƒces, vehicle parking, a maintenance bay, a wash bay and the internal coating shop with room to relocate the fabrication shop. “It’s just the growth in the province – trying to meet the demands of the oil companies,â€? said majority owner Brian Burgardt about the ratio-
nale for expansion. “Our main focus was on completions, but we added the new coatings division just over a year ago. “Nobody does powder coatings in Saskatchewan. The closest shop was Wainwright and they were getting too busy, so we just thought we’d start our own. It’s getting busy.â€? Rev’s other services include everything from line lowering, integrity digs and ďŹ eld welding, to external pipe coatings and internal and external tank coatings. The internal coatings for pipe and anges that are used for batteries and facilities are completed in the new Rev coating shop while external coatings for corroded buried pipeline are conducted in the ďŹ eld. The coating shop occupies 6,000 sq. ft. of space in the new building and is equipped with a blast bay, two ovens and a coating booth to apply Scotchkote 134 powder coating to pipe from two-inch to 10-inch diameter. “The purpose of the coating is for longevity. A lot of what comes out of the ground is very corrosiveâ€? said Dan Chapman, manager of Energy Process Systems, who led a tour of the coating facility. ɸ Page C7 Rev Energy Services opened its new 31,000 sq. ĹŒ. shop last May to diversify and add two new divisions: Rev Internal CoaĆ&#x;ngs for pipe coaĆ&#x;ngs and Energy Process Systems for oilÄŽeld fabricaĆ&#x;on.
