German-based Eisenbau Krämer (EBK), one of the leading specialists in welded large diameter steel pipe, has won a contract to provide about 30km of metallurgically bonded clad pipe in the Middle East oil and gas project
Under the terms of contract, EBK will provide some of the most delivery critical and technologically challenging sections of the pipeline.
The EBK scope of work will also include corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) line pipe for both onshore and offshore applications, as well as the supply of ancillary items including hot induction bends, anti-corrosion and concrete weight coatings.
Commenting on the Middle East contract, EBK said that the clad pipes will be manufactured at EBK’s facilities in Dahlbruch, Germany, which employ approximately 400 people.
EBK will provide DNV OSF101 steel grade 450 metallurgically bonded clad pipe in 32 inch and 24 inch diameters, with corrosion resistant alloys 625 and 825. Using its patented impander technology, EBK will provide superior dimensional control of the finished pipes, enabling improved efficiencies during construction of the pipeline.
Dr Boris Wernig, managing director at EBK, said, “This significant contract reinforces our position as a world leader in producing metallurgically bonded clad pipe and demonstrates our technical capabilities to meet a challenging design brief.”
