Industrial Bolting, Torquing And Flange Management Services

Fairtex Group offers comprehensive, turnkey industrial bolting services and technical support to ensure the leak-free startup of critical assemblies, including pipe flanges, turbines, reactors, vessel man-ways, compressors, and heat exchangers. Our experienced technicians and industrial bolting engineers efficiently complete projects. We employ continuous-turning, high-speed pneumatic torque wrenches, which are up to 20 times faster than traditional tools.

Our services cover:

• Bolt Torquing


• Stud Tensioning Services


• Nut Splitting Services

Bolt Torquing Services:

Fairtex Group's Bolt Torquing services provide a straightforward and secure method for controlled tightening and loosening of bolts. We offer a wide range of lightweight, compact, safe, and user-friendly hydraulic, pneumatic, electric, and battery-powered torque tools.

Stud Tensioning Services:

Fairtex Group's Stud Tensioning service is an accurate method for tightening threaded fasteners and inducing load through advanced hydraulic technology without directly turning the nut, thereby avoiding frictional losses. Stud tensioning ensures that gaskets are compressed as required by the manufacturer to achieve optimum joint integrity. Our experienced and trained technicians ensure efficient, safe, and industry-standard tensioning.

Nut Splitting Services:

Fairtex Group provides Nut Splitting services for corroded, eroded, or seized nuts that regular torque tools cannot loosen. We do not use hazardous procedures like grinding, sawing, or flame cutting. Instead, we utilize specialized nut splitting techniques to address galled, stripped, or stubborn nuts and bolts, which can cause delays during critical operations. We offer a complete range of safe, spark-free hydraulic nut splitting tools and services. Our technicians can safely split nuts ranging from 32mm to 100mm in size.
