DISTURBED JOINT MANAGEMENT

Preventing Leaks, Ensuring Integrity

A Disturbed Joint Management program is essential for leak prevention in bolted flange assemblies, ensuring proper assembly and tightening during turnarounds, shutdowns, routine maintenance, and construction projects. By implementing a structured approach, DyTech helps clients reduce risk, enhance reliability, and streamline predictive maintenance for improved turnaround planning.

Innovating Joint Management Solutions

DyTech established its Disturbed Joint Management program in 2019 as an extension of our turnaround management services. Since then, we have worked closely with ExxonMobil to develop and implement a custom digital application through Microsoft, designed to track and manage all disturbed joints during turnarounds. This innovation has improved efficiency, oversight, and compliance in joint integrity management.
