Oil & Gas
Heat exchangers for oil and gas in the UAE: thermal equipment engineered for upstream, midstream and refining service, built and serviced in Abu Dhabi.

Service
EPC Projects
EPC heat exchanger projects in the UAE: engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of complete thermal systems, delivered under single-point responsibility from one Abu Dhabi facility.

How It Works
Each phase is delivered by the same organisation, so the information developed in one phase carries into the next without a commercial handover in between.
- 1
Engineering establishes process and thermal design, equipment sizing, 3D modelling and code calculations in HTRI, PV Elite and ANSYS.
- 2
Procurement sources materials with full material traceability, managing expediting and vendors through established supply chains.
- 3
Construction covers manufacturing at our Mussafah facility and site installation by directly employed, ADNOC-inducted crews.
- 4
Commissioning runs pre-commissioning checks and performance testing against the design duty, with documented handover.
Built to
Solve
Engineered against the specific failures that cost operators downtime, contamination or wasted energy.
Asset protection
Split contracts leave the interfaces unowned. When a package underperforms, the designer, the fabricator and the installer can each demonstrate compliance with their own scope while the system still fails to meet duty.
Process integrity
Thermal systems only work as systems. Equipment procured separately against individual datasheets frequently meets every specification and still fails to deliver the combined performance the process needs.
Operational efficiency
Managing several contractors across engineering, supply and construction consumes client project management effort that is rarely costed, and the schedule risk sits in the handovers between them.
Why Dolphin Group for
EPC Projects
Manufacturer-led EPC
Most of the equipment in our packages is built by us, so schedule and quality are controlled directly rather than managed through a supply chain.
ADNOC-approved and Local+ certified
Approved vendor standing and in-country value that scores directly on operator and EPC tenders.
Forty years of operating feedback
Designs reflect what we have seen survive in Gulf service, because we maintain the equipment long after handover.
Key
Benefits
What sets epc projects from Dolphin Group apart, in specific and measurable terms.
- 1
Single-point responsibility
One contract covering engineering through commissioning, so system performance is owned by one party.
- 2
No interface gaps
Design, manufacturing and installation in one organisation, removing the handovers where schedule and quality usually slip.
- 3
In-house manufacturing capacity
ASME U2 manufacturing at Mussafah rather than subcontracted, which keeps schedule control in our hands.
- 4
Traceable procurement
Material sourcing with full material certification and managed expediting.
- 5
Directly employed site crews
ADNOC-inducted crews on our own books, not agency labour assembled per project.
- 6
Support beyond handover
The team that built the system maintains it, under long-term service agreements where required.

View SectorFrequently Asked Questions
Engineering, Procurement and Construction delivered under one contract, extended here to include commissioning and long-term maintenance. One party is responsible for the finished system meeting its duty, rather than several each responsible for a part.
Because the interfaces are where projects fail. Under split contracts each party can meet its own scope while the system still underperforms, and resolving that costs time nobody has allowed for.
The core thermal equipment is built at our own ASME U2 facility in Mussafah. That is the main reason we can hold schedule commitments rather than pass on a supplier delay.
Yes. We frequently deliver the specialist thermal scope turnkey while a main contractor handles the wider facility, and we work within their project systems.
Yes, and they hold ADNOC inductions and the relevant certifications. Directly employed crews are the difference between consistent site quality and variable agency labour.
Through pre-commissioning checks and performance testing against the design duty, documented as part of the handover package.
Yes, under long-term service agreements including condition monitoring and turnaround support. Having the builder maintain the system removes the learning curve.
