Pin Piles & Jacket Tubulars
Our operational division Offshore Steel Structures (OSS) covers a wide range of products including Pin Piles and Jacket Tubulars, supplying offshore foundations components to the booming offshore wind farms market (both for turbines and substations), whilst ensuring energy security by supply to the oil and gas sector. The variety in needs and specifications is substantial, and our experience and custom-made machinery ensure that almost anything is possible.
The main supply is focused on pin piles and jacket tubulars to our clients, those being as diverse as developers, EPCI contractors, (jacket) fabricators and others. Our jacket tubulars can be assembled into jackets, which are then connected to the sea floor with pin piles.
OSS tubulars have a dedicated production line within Sif. For this production line the sweet spot starts at ‘tubulars which you can walk through’ which is around ø1.8 m and for this line ends at ø3.5 m. Combined with the other production lines, the full spectrum of diameters up to our maximum can be provided.
