Pipelines and offshore technology

Heavy plate for pipelines and offshore technology

Dillinger Hütte GTS is a name familiar to the fabricators of drilling rigs and pipelines for natural gas and oil. We can claim, without exaggeration, to be a driving force behind some of the world's most spectacular projects in this field - as the key supplier of heavy plate. Just take a look at our references. But what is it that makes the Dillinger Hütte GTS range of products and services so attractive?

The answer: the overall performance package. Firstly, the extraordinary quality of the materials used, i.e., our branded steels, which are produced using ultra-modern thermomechanical rolling technology. Secondly, the exceptional dimensions in which Dillinger Hütte GTS is able to supply heavy plate. Thirdly, and finally, our customer service, which extends well beyond the scope normally offered by suppliers of heavy plate materials - we are aware that only those involved in projects from the planning stage onward, who also provide support with further processing and supply logistics, will survive in this tough industry.

And what does all this mean? We know that every offshore and pipeline project is totally unique and, furthermore, so complex and all-encompassing, that every person and every organization involved is obliged to devote one hundred percent of their working energies to it. A team of specialists with comprehensive project experience supports and manages every contract, from start to finish, providing you, the client, with a personal contact at all times, on all subjects.

Dillinger Hütte GTS supplies heavy plate conforming to all widely used standards, including EN 10225, BS 7191, API and NORSOK. The range of grades available extends from normalized, via water-quenched and tempered, up to and including TMCP steels. The outstanding mechanical strengths and toughnesses of these materials meet even the demanding specifications for offshore structures used in the North Sea. But what makes these steels true high-tech materials is the combination of these properties with optimum workability, and above all, cold-workability and weldability.
