ALKUBRA was established in the year 1983. Since its establishment, it has been actively involved in the pipe fitting industry and has enjoyed a good measure of success.

A coating industry was established in 1992. This industry has grown from a small scale sandblasting and painting shop to a multi-diversified company offering services in the fields of external and internal coatings, tank fiberglass lining, tank lining, wrapping of pipes, heat shrink applications, elastmeric polyurethane coatings, cement lining, gunite lining of pressure vessels, fire proofing and treatment to concrete floor toppings. This company has grown to the extent that it now accounts for the major part of the works at Al-Kubra.

There are ever increasing challenges for coating applicators as offshore cycle times reduce, overland pipelines are laid in more demanding conditions and in all cases the bare steel section and at welded joints becomes larger to accommodate automated welding and inspection.
