GCC & MENA
Steel Detailing for GCC & Middle East Projects
Tekla models, fabrication drawings and reinforcement documentation for oil, gas, petrochemical and industrial projects across the Gulf, from a senior team whose experience was built on the region's energy facilities.
One Team for the Region's Energy Projects
PetroHill provides structural steel detailing, Tekla modelling, RCC and rebar documentation and brownfield modification drawings for fabricators and EPC contractors working across the Gulf Cooperation Council and the wider Middle East. From Lahore we are one to two hours ahead of every Gulf capital, so our working day covers yours from the first call to the last transmittal.
The region is where our senior team's experience was formed. In prior roles they worked on the Hail & Ghasha onshore facilities, the Umm Lulu offshore development and BAB and ASAB modifications in Abu Dhabi, the Hawiyah NGL Recovery Project in Saudi Arabia, the Dolphin Energy gas project linking Qatar and the UAE, and the Diwaniya refinery expansion in Iraq. That range covers greenfield and brownfield, onshore and offshore, steel and concrete.
Gulf projects share a pattern: operator standards sit above the international codes, specifications are long, and fabricators are inspected against all of them. ADNOC-group projects refer to AGES and project specifications, Saudi Aramco projects to SAES and SAMSS, and QatarEnergy and Kuwait Oil Company projects to their own engineering standards. We detail to the documents issued with each package, record which one governs each requirement and raise conflicts as formal queries. We do not claim approval or registration with any operator.
Each country has its own page with the packages, specifications and questions that matter there. If your project sits elsewhere in the region, such as Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain or Iraq, the same scope review applies: we confirm the governing documents, drawing standard, numbering and issue dates before modelling begins.

Standards & Specifications
Operator standards (ADNOC AGES, Saudi Aramco SAES and SAMSS, QatarEnergy and KOC standards) and the project specification govern where they apply, with AISC, Eurocode or ACI design bases as your engineer specifies. We detail to them as issued. Working to a standard is not a claim of approval or certification.
The scope of work records the applicable standards and editions for each package. A reference to a standard does not imply design verification or certification.

- 02
Model
Tekla model or RCC drawings set up to the project numbering, phasing and drawing standard.
- 03
Checks
Model and drawings checked against the design, the specifications and the query log.
- 04
Drawings
Fabrication, erection and reinforcement documents issued through your document control.
- 05
Revisions
Client and inspection comments clouded, re-issued and tracked to closure in the register.

Common Questions
Related services
Which countries in the Middle East do you support?
We have dedicated pages for the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and we take packages for Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and Iraq on the same basis. The country matters less than the governing documents: we confirm the operator standards and project specification for each package before modelling begins.
Are you an approved vendor with ADNOC, Saudi Aramco or QatarEnergy?
No, and we do not claim to be. Our senior team worked on projects for these operators in prior roles, and we detail to the standards and specifications issued with each package. Vendor approval and qualification sit with the EPC contractor and the fabricator.
How do you handle the Gulf working week and Ramadan hours?
Lahore is one to two hours ahead of the Gulf, so our day covers yours. Issues and progress meetings are planned around your working week, and during Ramadan we agree adjusted call times and issue dates at the start of the month rather than assume them.
How quickly will we receive a quote?
We reply to quote requests within 24 hours (GCC working day). Send drawings or a scope summary with the deliverables, standards and target dates you have; where inputs are incomplete we list the assumptions we priced and the questions to close.
Can we start with a small trial package?
Yes. Our pilot is one assembly or a 5–10 t package, at a fixed price, delivered in 5 working days from receipt of complete inputs. It lets you check our model, drawing standard and checking on your own project before committing a larger package. NDA on request.
Send Your Drawings
We reply within 24 hours (GCC working day). A scope summary is enough to start; NDA on request.
