Responsible by Design, Accountable by Audit

Three commitments shape how Dolphin Group designs, manufactures, and services equipment, from our Mussafah, Abu Dhabi facility to sites worldwide. Environmental stewardship, workforce safety, and certified governance are built into every unit we deliver, and every claim is backed by third-party audit, documented traceability, and measurable performance on live projects.

Planting Mangroves
to Restore the Coastline

Dolphin Group gives back to the coastline of the UAE, where we are based, by taking part in mangrove planting. Mangroves protect the shore from erosion, shelter marine life, and absorb carbon from the air.

Our people join planting drives as a team, so environmental responsibility is something the whole company does together, beyond the standards we hold our own work to.

Cleaning the Desert,
One Drive at a Time

Our teams also volunteer for desert clean-ups, clearing waste and debris so the landscape around the places we live and work stays clean for the communities and wildlife that depend on it.

Clean-up days bring colleagues from across the company out of the workshop and into the community, turning environmental care into a shared habit.

Frequently Asked Questions

ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance — the three areas Dolphin Group is measured against beyond commercial performance. Environmentally, it means reducing waste and energy use across manufacturing and service work. Socially, it means the health, safety, and development of our workforce. On governance, it means every project runs under a certified, auditable quality and compliance standard.

Dolphin Group prioritizes refurbishment and retubing over full replacement wherever an asset can be safely restored, which conserves raw material and extends equipment life. Chemical cleaning processes are formulated to minimize hazardous discharge, and thermal performance recovery work lowers clients’ ongoing energy consumption after service.

Dolphin Group has maintained 100% HSE compliance across ADNOC shutdown and turnaround contracts, and was recognized with a Contractor of the Year HSE award from ADNOC Ruwais & Sulphur. The same site safety standard applies across every shutdown, turnaround, and field service job, whether onshore, offshore, or at our Mussafah facility.

Yes. Dolphin Group operates a certified ISO 9001 Quality Management System that governs design, manufacturing, and service delivery across every project, giving clients an auditable quality standard rather than an informal one.

Dolphin Group holds ASME U2 Certificate of Authorization for pressure vessel manufacture, a National Board Certificate of Authorization, and HTRI membership for thermal design, alongside ISO 9001 certification. These sit alongside ADNOC-approved and Local+ Certified vendor status, which requires independent audit.

Dolphin Group provides structured training and career development for welders, engineers, and technicians, and prioritizes local hiring and skills development within the UAE workforce — building technical capability inside the country rather than relying solely on expatriate rotation.

Yes. The same environmental, safety, and governance standards apply to every project Dolphin Group delivers, whether the client is based in the UAE, the wider GCC, or elsewhere — the standard travels with the equipment and the team, not just the facility.

Certificates of Authorization, ISO 9001 documentation, and vendor approval records are available on request for procurement and audit purposes. Contact our engineering team to request the specific documentation your project or tender requires.
