CRC Evans

What CRC Evans does

CRC Evans is a UK-headquartered specialty engineering services firm that delivers welding and coating solutions to energy and critical infrastructure projects worldwide. Founded around 1926 (firmographic data also references 1933), the company operates from global headquarters in Edinburgh and a newly announced 90,000 sq ft Centre of Excellence in Burnley, with additional facilities in Kintore, Invergordon, Zeewolde, Katy (Texas), Houston, Tulsa, Leduc, Rio de Janeiro, Bangalore, and Alkhobar.

The company's offering is built around a proprietary equipment fleet designed and manufactured in-house, including the SABRE automated closed-cycle vacuum blast system, the RAPTOR heat-and-coat machine, the IMPP polypropylene thermal insulation system, the P625 mechanised dual torch welding system, the FAST automated multi-component liquid spray technology, and the FFJ fused field joint three-layer coating system. These are deployed alongside on-site welding and coating crews to deliver project-based services across four sectors: Oil and Gas (upstream, midstream, downstream), Renewables (offshore wind, hydrogen, carbon capture), Nuclear, and Critical Infrastructure (defence, aerospace, civil infrastructure).

CRC Evans generates revenue primarily through long-term, project-quoted enterprise contracts with Tier 1 EPC contractors and infrastructure primes, delivered direct from regional management teams across EMEAA and the Americas. Major active or recently completed contracts include the Ruya project for COOEC in Qatar (11,000 welds, lowest industry repair rate), the Liverpool Bay CO2 Transportation and Storage project with United Infrastructure in the UK HyNet cluster, and the Northern Adriatic Hydrogen Valley pipeline project with Monter Strojarske Montaže spanning Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. Equipment packages are also sold or rented directly. Pricing is fully project-specific and quote-based with no public rates disclosed, and the company sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales rather than resellers or self-serve channels.
