Reverse Engineering Services in Saudi Arabia
Physical measurement, 3D model reconstruction, and fabrication drawing production for obsolete plant components and equipment across oil & gas facilities in KSA.
SLETEC Engineering provides reverse engineering services for industrial plant components across Saudi Arabia. When original engineering drawings are unavailable, lost, or when equipment has become obsolete, our engineers measure the physical component, reconstruct the geometry, and produce complete fabrication drawings and 3D models that enable part duplication or design modification. This service is invaluable for ageing plant assets where OEM support has ceased.
Our reverse engineering process is systematic: physical measurement using calibrated precision instruments, material identification through hardness testing or MTC review, geometric reconstruction in 3D CAD (SolidWorks or Inventor), tolerancing based on functional requirements and standard manufacturing practices, and final extraction of fabrication-ready 2D drawings. For complex shaped components, we use profile templating and coordinate measurement to capture non-prismatic geometry accurately.
SLETEC reverse engineering deliverables include 3D CAD models, detailed 2D fabrication drawings, material specifications, and a measurement report. These packages give clients the documentation needed to procure replacement parts from any qualified fabricator, eliminating dependence on a single supplier and reducing plant downtime risk. We maintain strict confidentiality over all component geometry and client plant data.
Engineering documentation prepared with reference to API, ASME, AISC, AWS, ISO, Saudi Aramco, SABIC and client project specifications where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is reverse engineering and when is it used in industrial plants in Saudi Arabia?
Reverse engineering in an industrial context involves physically measuring an existing component or assembly and recreating its engineering drawings and 3D models from those measurements. It is used when original drawings are lost, unavailable, or when equipment is obsolete and replacement parts are no longer commercially available. SLETEC commonly performs reverse engineering for aging plant components, custom fabricated parts, and worn equipment that needs duplication.
How does SLETEC perform reverse engineering measurements?
SLETEC engineers visit the site or receive the physical component and perform detailed dimensional measurements using precision instruments including digital calipers, micrometers, dial gauges, and profile gauges. For complex geometry, we use coordinate measurement and manual templating techniques. Material identification is performed using hardness testing or material test report review where available.
Can SLETEC produce fabrication drawings from reverse engineered components?
Yes. The primary output of SLETEC reverse engineering projects is a fabrication-ready drawing package in AutoCAD or SolidWorks, including detailed dimensions, tolerances, material specifications, surface finish requirements, and weld details where applicable. These drawings can be issued directly to a fabricator for part reproduction.
What types of industrial equipment does SLETEC reverse engineer in KSA?
SLETEC has reverse engineered a range of industrial components including pump impellers and casings, heat exchanger tube sheets and baffles, pressure vessel internals, structural brackets and support frames, valve bodies, custom mechanical assemblies, and pipe spools with non-standard fittings.
