The division

Ground prepared, foundations poured, facilities built.

AFCCO Services delivers pre-drilling construction for E&P operators and civil works for government and semi-government clients. It is the field arm of the company — the teams, plant and supervision that turn an approved drawing into finished work on a site that is often hundreds of kilometres from the nearest supplier.

The division handles the full civil and mechanical scope an operator needs around a well or a facility: clearing and levelling the location, building the road to reach it, casting the foundations the rig sits on, running the piping, and putting up the buildings that stay behind after the rig moves. Work is executed to client specifications under an ISO 9001 quality system, with HSE controls applied from mobilisation through to demobilisation.

Because sites are remote, crews mobilise self-sufficient — accommodation, plant, fuel, materials and a site office — and report daily against an agreed programme.

What we build

Services in detail.

Each of these can be taken as a standalone package or combined into a single field contract.

01

Well site preparation

Drilling & workover locations

Complete location build-up for drilling and workover programmes: clearing, cut and fill, levelling, compaction to specified density, and the pits, cellars and drainage a rig needs before it arrives.

  • Site clearing & grading
  • Cut, fill & compaction
  • Rig cellars & conductor pits
  • Waste & reserve pits
  • Surface drainage
  • Location restoration
02

Access roads & camps

Reaching and supporting remote locations

Earthworks and road construction that make a block workable — from bush tracks to all-weather approach roads capable of carrying rig moves and heavy equipment through the season.

  • Route survey & formation
  • Sub-grade & sub-base
  • Aggregate & bituminous surfacing
  • Culverts & cross drainage
  • Camp & accommodation facilities
  • Road restoration & maintenance
03

Rig foundations & civil structures

Reinforced concrete works

Designed and constructed foundations for drilling rigs, wellheads, tanks, skids and rotating equipment, with reinforcement, formwork and concrete controlled by an inspection and test plan.

  • Rig & substructure foundations

  • Pipe racks & supports
  • Access platforms & stairs
  • Shelters & canopies
  • Tank & vessel structures
  • Surface preparation
  • Erection & alignment
06

  • Electrical & lighting works
  • Water supply & storage
  • Sewerage & drainage
  • Fencing & boundary security
  • Hardstanding & parking
  • Fire water systems
08

Maintenance & field support

Term and call-off contracts

Ongoing civil and mechanical support that keeps facilities running — planned maintenance, shutdown support, repairs and call-off crews stationed near the client's operations.

  • Planned civil maintenance
  • Shutdown & turnaround support
  • Repairs & modifications
  • Call-off manpower
  • Plant & equipment hire
  • Emergency response works

Resources

Owned plant, permanent crews.

Field productivity depends on not waiting for hired equipment. AFCCO maintains its own fleet and yard.

Earthmoving

Excavation & grading

Excavators, dozers, graders, loaders, rollers and tippers for location and road work.

Concrete

Batching & placing

Batching plant support, transit mixers, pumps, vibrators and formwork systems.

Lifting

Cranes & handling

Mobile cranes, forklifts and telehandlers with certified operators and third-party inspection.

Fabrication

Welding & workshop

Welding sets, cutting equipment, pipe-handling tools and a yard workshop at Daharki.

Camp

Site establishment

Mobile offices, accommodation units, generators, water bowsers and fuel storage.

People

Supervision & crews

Site engineers, QA/QC, HSE officers, surveyors, foremen, welders, operators and skilled labour.

Before you enquire

Questions procurement teams ask.

If your question is not covered here, the CE office will answer it directly.

Is AFCCO eligible for high-value tenders?

Yes. AFCCO holds the Pakistan Engineering Council CA No Limit category, reached in 2022, which carries no contract-value ceiling. SECP incorporation, an active NTN and triple ISO certification are all available for prequalification files.

Which areas do you mobilise to?

AFCCO works across Pakistan, with the heaviest concentration in the Sindh fields around Daharki and Ghotki, and in the Punjab and KP blocks including Attock, Fateh Jang and Ratana. The company maintains a field yard at Daharki Bypass on the National Highway, District Ghotki, to shorten mobilisation into the southern fields.

How quickly can a crew mobilise?

It depends on scope and location, but because plant and crews are owned rather than hired, mobilisation for typical well site and road packages is measured in days rather than weeks. Timelines are confirmed in writing with the proposal.

Do you take on work outside oil and gas?

Yes. AFCCO delivers buildings and infrastructure for government and semi-government clients — including regional office buildings, high-rise and multi-storey construction, sports infrastructure and development authority projects — using the same field teams and management system.

What documentation is provided at handover?

Every contract closes with as-built drawings, the QA dossier including test results and inspection records, HSE statistics, warranty and defect liability details, and any client-specific closeout format required.

Have a site to prepare or a scope to price?

Send the drawings, BOQ or a description of the location and AFCCO will respond with an approach, a programme and a proposal.
