What is the offshore structure pipes using for?

In short, Offshore structural pipe used for offshore platforms. So an offshore platform is equipment to drill and extract oil from the sea. Based on different functions, the offshore platform can be classified as a drilling platform, production platform, service platform, oil storage, etc. There are many types. For example, bottom-supported, gravity, jack-up, semi-submersible, tension leg type, etc.

• Firstly, According to different functions. Pile foundation type, bottom-supported, and gravity platform used in shallow waters.
• Secondly, Jack-up, semi-submersible, tension leg type, such as vertical cylinder type of offshore platform become the hotspot in the field of ocean engineering. 
• Thirdly, The factory has developed the offshore structural pipes for the offshore platform, supplied in normalized or quenched and tempered conditions for yield strength 355~690 MPa.

1. – Bracing pipe
2. – Chord pipe

• Further, Jack-up drilling platform leg chord pipe manufactured as with semicircle. Its advantages include low cost and high efficiency. That producing semicircle pipe with a seamless pipe through the longitudinal cutting process.

Structural Steel for Offshore and Construction Projects

In conclusion, offshore projects require experience and adaptability, detailed knowledge of product manufacturing capabilities and capacities, logistics. In addition, to be requirements of the customer in terms of schedule and planning. Often a combination of steel and pipe manufacturers require to meet project delivery demands. In other words, Winsteel Group are experts in this field. Combining available capacity between European and Asian manufacturers is commonplace.

That is to say, Long term pricing and the guarantee of materials supply are everyday requirements for these kinds of projects. In short, Winsteel Group has the experience. And we contacts to lead manufacturers to make projects the execution of these complex and diversified projects successful.

The knowledge of all international standards (for example API DNV, EN/DIN, NORSOK, BSH, etc.) and customer-specific standards is essential to understand the requirements of these kinds of projects.
