UCES Middle East delivers onshore pipeline and flowline construction across Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE — route survey through installation, tie-in and commissioning — for crude oil, gas and hydrocarbon transport systems, executed under our ISO 9001:2015 quality system.
UCES Middle East General Contracting LLC is an ISO 9001:2015 certified, ADNOC-approved EPC and general contracting company headquartered in Abu Dhabi, delivering civil, structural, mechanical and pipeline scopes across all seven emirates, as part of the Unique Construction & Engineering Services group established in 2007.
Our pipeline and flowline work spans the full project lifecycle — engineering and material procurement through installation, testing and commissioning — for cross-country pipelines, flowlines and gathering systems that transport crude oil, gas and other hydrocarbons, delivered on both onshore and in-field projects across the UAE.
Route survey and engineering input ahead of mobilization, so the installation plan matches actual ground and access conditions.
Pipe, fittings and consumables sourced and tracked against the project schedule, avoiding delivery-driven delays.
Trenching, stringing, lining-up and welding executed by qualified welders and technicians to line specification.
Tie-ins into existing networks and hook-up works coordinated to minimize disruption to live systems.
Hydrotesting, pre-commissioning checks and commissioning support carried through to handover documentation.
Pipe layers, welding machines, side booms and testing units, backed by experienced engineers and qualified welders.

What is the difference between a pipeline and a flowline?
A pipeline typically moves product over longer, cross-country distances; a flowline is the shorter, in-field piping that gathers product from wellheads to a processing or storage point. UCES delivers both.
Which codes govern pipeline welding and installation in the UAE?
API 1104 governs pipeline welding, with ASME B31.3, B31.4 and B31.8 covering process, liquid and gas piping design, alongside ADNOC’s own HSE-MS and technical specifications on ADNOC-linked projects.
Is UCES Middle East ADNOC-approved for pipeline and flowline work?
Yes. UCES Middle East is an ADNOC Approved Supplier and ICV Certified, operating under an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.
Can you tie in to an existing, live pipeline network?
Yes — tie-in, fabrication and hook-up works are coordinated with the operator to minimize disruption to systems already in service.
What equipment do you mobilize for a pipeline project?
Pipe layers, welding machines, side booms and testing units, supported by experienced engineers, qualified welders and skilled technicians.
