Before you contract

Answers for shutdown, tender and close-out

Contractual lead times, technical documentation and applicable standards — what maintenance, procurement and tender teams usually ask before signing.

Questions answered before you contract

These answers are designed for maintenance managers, procurement and tender teams who need clarity on lead times, documentation and regulatory compliance before awarding or authorizing a shutdown.

Lead times and operational continuity

We agree contractual lead times of 15 to 30 calendar days based on scope defined at diagnosis, not open estimates. A single point of contact from removal to on-site startup.

Full cycle: removal, diagnosis, repair, testing, return, laser alignment, assisted startup and final technical documentation. Equipment returns ready to run, not just disassembled in crates.

Certified dynamic balancing, hydrostatic and pneumatic testing, API seal plan review and assisted startup with records in the technical documentation. Reliability is validated before returning service to production.

Traceability and technical documentation

VB treats schedule, standards and technical documentation as part of the contract, not as extras. In-house workshop, asset chain of custody and delivery of reports, certificates and dimensional records at close-out, ready for audit and contractual sign-off.

We log receipt, condition and every phase: site → workshop → site. Documented chain of custody and a technical point of contact throughout the intervention.

We deliver technical documentation in print and digital: initial inspection, material certificates, balancing, clearances, tests, alignment, startup and unified PDF report.

Standards and tendering

We work under applicable API 610, 611, 674, ASME, ASTM, COVENIN and PDVSA guidelines. Major and corrective repair with dimensional records and traceable procedures.

Yes. We respond with a technical proposal, defined scope and realistic timelines based on equipment type and intervention. We can provide performance bonds and liability insurance.

Experience and safety

46+ years in the Venezuelan energy sector. Experience with operators such as PDVSA, Petroindependencia, Petropiar, Petroboscan and critical assets in refining, processing and the Orinoco Belt.

Personnel under SIHO-A / SHA culture, risk analysis, work permits and LOPCYMAT, COVENIN and PDVSA contractor compliance.
