Sreeresh Ambat of Arabian Supply Center said: “Oil and Gas facilities have very high safety standards. Most of the steel fabrication and welding takes place at the 40 metre height range, but the confined space of the project site requires equipment with excellent up & over range in tight, narrow spaces.”
