CMSL provides advanced, end-to-end valve maintenance, repair, calibration, and integrity solutions for the oil & gas, power plant and process industries. Our capability goes far beyond routine valve servicing - we deliver full lifecycle support for all types of valves, including pressure safety valves (PSVs), pressure relief valves (PRVs), control valves, isolation valves, ball, gate, globe, butterfly valves, and associated actuated systems across liquid, gas, air, steam, and hydrocarbon services.

Backed by highly skilled technical manpower, OEM partnerships, and a fully equipped workshop, CMSL ensures valves are restored to safe, reliable, and fully compliant operating conditions in line with API standards, OEM specifications, and statutory requirements.

API-Certified Valve Repair, Machining & Recertification Workshop Our Port Harcourt workshop is fully equipped for complete valve lifecycle services, including strip-down, inspection, precision machining, lapping, grinding, reassembly, and final testing. All repairs and recertifications are executed in compliance with applicable API standards and OEM requirements, ensuring full traceability and certification readiness.

High Technical Manpower & Multi-Team Deployment Capability CMSL has the capacity to deploy multiple specialised valve teams and equipment simultaneously across various client locations – onshore and offshore. Our engineers and technicians are trained in OEM procedures, API standards, and advanced field repair techniques, ensuring fast turnaround and consistent quality delivery.

In-Country PSV Online & In-Situ Testing Capability We provide certified in-country online testing of pressure safety valves (PSVs) and in-situ verification, enabling validation of valve performance and set pressure without full system shutdowns, significantly reducing operational downtime.

In-Situ Valve Seat Grinding & On-Location Overhaul Our mobile teams perform on-site valve seat grinding, lapping, testing, and general overhaul services for valves that cannot be removed from service easily. This ensures reliability while maintaining plant availability.

Cryogenic Valve Services & Low-Temperature Applications CMSL also provides specialised maintenance, repair, and testing services for cryogenic valves operating under extreme low-temperature conditions. These valves are critical in LNG, gas processing, and other low-temperature process systems where material integrity, sealing performance, and thermal reliability are essential.

Our capability includes inspection, disassembly, precision machining, seat repair, reconditioning, and recertification of cryogenic-rated valves, ensuring they maintain performance under sub-zero operating environments. We apply controlled handling procedures, appropriate sealing materials, and OEM-aligned techniques to preserve valve integrity and prevent leakage or failure in critical cryogenic service.

All cryogenic valve work is carried out under strict QA/QC control and in accordance with applicable API standards, OEM specifications, and industry best practices for low-temperature service applications.

Workshop Valve Overhaul, Repair & Recertification Services At our dedicated facility, we carry out full valve overhaul services, including disassembly, cleaning, machining, part replacement, reassembly, pressure testing, and final certification under controlled QA/QC conditions.

Predictive Valve Management & Maintenance Planning Support CMSL supports clients with structured valve management strategies designed to enable predictive maintenance, failure prevention, and proactive planning. This includes condition-based recommendations, maintenance scheduling support, and lifecycle optimisation strategies to improve reliability and reduce unplanned shutdowns.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What international standards do you test and certify valves to?
Our valve testing, repair, and recertification activities are performed in accordance with applicable international standards and OEM requirements. Depending on valve type and service application, this may include standards such as API 527 for pressure relief valve seat tightness testing, API 598 for valve inspection and testing, ASME requirements, API 521, API 6D and relevant manufacturer specifications. All testing is carried out using calibrated equipment and qualified procedures to ensure compliance and traceability.
2What is the typical turnaround time for workshop repair and recertification?
Turnaround time depends on valve type, size, condition, and spare parts availability. For standard pressure safety valves and common isolation valves, inspection, repair, testing, and recertification can often be completed within a few days of receipt. Larger, specialized, or heavily damaged valves may require additional time for machining, component replacement, or OEM support. Typically, 14-30 days, depending on the scope of the job.
3Can you provide in-situ testing for valves on live offshore platforms?
Yes. CMSL provides field service support both onshore and offshore and has the capability to perform valve testing at client locations. The company specifically states that pressure relief devices can be tested in-situ using the LEGA TEST machine while the process remains operational, where safety, access, and operating conditions permit. CMSL also maintains mobile workshop capabilities for offshore and onshore valve recertification campaigns.
4Do you maintain a stock of common spare parts and seats, or is there a lead time?
CMSL maintains support capability for a broad range of valve types and OEM equipment. Common consumables and frequently required replacement components are typically available through established supply chains; however, availability depends on valve make, model, and service requirements. Specialized trims, seats, springs, and OEM-specific components may require procurement lead time. For urgent requirements, our team works closely with approved suppliers and OEM partners to minimize delays and return equipment to service as quickly as possible. We provide our clients with the estimated delivery schedule as soon as the parts requirement is identified and approved.
5What documentation do clients receive after recertification?
Upon completion of repair and recertification activities, clients receive a comprehensive documentation package that may include: Valve test certificates Calibration certificates  QA/QC documentation report  Inspection  reports NDT reports Repair and maintenance reports  Data sheets  This documentation provides a complete audit trail and supports regulatory and asset integrity requirements.
6Can you repair valves that were originally supplied by another manufacturer?
Yes. Our technicians are trained to inspect, repair, and test valves from a wide range of OEMs, subject to the availability of technical data and replacement components.
7Do you provide offshore valve maintenance campaigns during shutdowns and turnarounds?
Yes. Our teams support planned shutdowns, turnarounds, brownfield projects, and routine maintenance campaigns across onshore facilities, offshore platforms, and FPSOs.
8Do you offer valve consultation services?
Yes. CMSL provides valve consultancy and technical advisory support in line with industry standards and in partnership with foreign expatriates to help clients improve asset reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance. Our specialists can assist with valve condition assessments, maintenance strategy development, valve selection and specification reviews, failure investigations, integrity management programs, shutdown planning, and recommendations for repair, replacement, or upgrade solutions.
