Tata Steel has signed four contracts with Subsea 7 to supply undersea pipes. The undersea pipes will be supplied for four separate North Sea projects.

The four contracts, signed over the past year and worth an estimated £10 million in total, will see Tata Steel supply in excess of 55 km of pipe weighing more than 9,000 tonne.

Under the contracts, Tata Steel will supply around 28 km of carrier pipe, more than 27 km of sleeve pipe, girth welding and triple jointing, and the application of Glass Flake Epoxy pipe coating. The pipes will be manufactured at the company’s Hartlepool pipe mills in the UK, before being welded and coated at its offshore processing centre, also in Hartlepool.

Over the last 25 years, Tata Steel has provided more than 83,000 tonne of pipe to Subsea 7 for 37 projects worldwide.

Subsea 7 is a subsea engineering, construction and services company serving the offshore energy industry.
