Severstal delivers large diameter pipes to Brazil for the first time

PJSC Severstal, one of the world's largest vertically integrated steel and mining companies, has delivered large diameter pipes (LDP) to Brazil for the first time. Also, for the first time, large-diameter pipes will be used for an LNG project being implemented abroad. The pipes will be used for the construction of Barcarena LNG.

LDPs with a diameter of 508 mm, a wall thickness of 12.7 mm and a length of 11.5 - 11.8 m were manufactured according to the API 5L PSL2 standard from steel of strength category X65M at the Izhora Pipe Plant (ITZ, part of the Severstal Russian Steel division of PJSC Severstal "), located at the production site in the Kolpinsky district of St. Petersburg. Additional requirements for offshore pipelines were applied to this order, which were successfully completed by the ITZ.

For the production of pipes, Severstal uses its own rolled metal products, which are produced by the company's 5000 sheet-rolling mill, located on the same industrial site with the ITZ in the Kolpinsky district of St. Petersburg. Having its own raw material base, steel-making and rolling production facilities allows Severstal to control the quality of products at each processing stage and provides flexibility in interaction with consumers.

To Brazil, LDP was delivered through the port of St. Petersburg to the port of Vila do Conde.

“Izhora Pipe Plant already has experience in supplying large diameter pipes to South America. The vertically integrated structure of Severstal makes it possible to quickly fulfill customer orders, and the advantageous geographical location of the Izhora Pipe Plant near the port of St. Petersburg makes it possible to deliver pipes all over the world. These competitive advantages lay the foundation for building long-term relationships with foreign clients, ”said Maxim Starikov, Deputy Director for Sales to Energy Companies for Export Markets at Severstal.
