BRUGG Pipes tailor-made cryogenic pipe systems for offshore projects

World Pipelines,
In BRUGG Pipes' most recent offshore project, two double-walled stainless steel corrugated pipes were used for a mobile LNG production platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Two flexible pipelines, each 220 m long and weighing a total of 42 t including the drum, were developed according to customer specifications and certified according to the EN 1474-2 guideline for the safe transfer of LNG.
The pipes are now reliably used as a transport line from the LNG production platform to floating storage unit (FSU) ships. Using the stainless steel corrugated pipes, the liquid gas produced is transported from three offshore drilling units to the ship and from there to the rest of the world. Pre-assembled at the factory, the vacuum-insulated pipe systems can be manufactured in the desired length, suitable material and necessary coatings.
Manufactured in Germany, they meet all regulatory requirements and, thanks to pressure sensors in the vacuum chamber, enable early detection of pressure drops. With engineering know-how and decades of experience, BRUGG Pipes works with its customers to design the perfect solution for offshore projects. Whether in planning, development or production – as an expert, BRUGG Pipes supports its customers in important projects, with project-specific certification upon request.
