Who we are
A UAE manufacturer of hot induction bends, built so that no project in the region has to wait for an imported bend.
From our plant in KEZAD Al Taweelah, beside Khalifa Port, two production lines bend carbon steel pipe from 4″ to 80″ for oil and gas, water, power and infrastructure, with every bend documented and traceable.
Capabilities
Two lines, the full 4″–80″ range, and fabrication, coating and logistics around every bend.

See companyHow a bend is made
Straight pipe to 90°, in one continuous pass
The coil heats a narrow band, the arm swings the pipe through its radius, and water quenches the steel as it leaves.
- 01
Heat
The coil brings a narrow band to about 1,000 °C.
- 02
Push and bend
The pipe is pushed through the coil as the arm forms the radius.
- 03
Quench
Water locks in the properties as steel leaves the hot zone.
- 04
Release
Angle reached, the bend moves on to heat treatment and testing.
- Bend angle
- 42.0°
- Arc formed
- 3,351 mm
- Band temp
- 1,000 °C
Illustration: 36″ pipe at a 5D radius (4,572 mm). Not to scale.

Low-carbon bends
AvailableEAF-sourced pipe and solar power, for projects with carbon targets.
Data record
Every bendProcess and test data for every bend, traceable from heat number to delivery note.
Logistics
Mill to site, on one number per bend
Khalifa Port, our bonded yard and the plant sit side by side in KEZAD, so pipe moves from the quay to the bending line without leaving the zone. One reference follows every bend to site.
Line pipe is ordered from our partner mills, or free-issued by you, and inspected before it ships.
Pipe travels as consolidated project cargo on our logistics partners’ fleets.
Customs clearance is handled in house at Khalifa Port, next door to the plant.
Pipe is stored and preserved in our bonded yard beside the port, ready for the bending line.
Every bend is made, tested and coated in KEZAD, and logged under its own number.
Heavy-lift dispatch by road to KSA and Oman, or by sea with re-export papers for Iraq, Africa and beyond.
Bends arrive kitted in installation order, each with its full data record.
- Bonded yardStorage and consignment stock next to Khalifa Port
- Customs in houseClearance and re-export papers for Oman, Iraq and Africa
- Site kittingBends packed and delivered in installation order
Data record
Every bend ships with its own record
Each bend generates its data twice: once to make it, once to prove it. We keep both and hand them to you with the bend.
- Logged continuously. Temperature, push speed, pressure, angle and radius for the full arc.
- Proven per bend. Wall thinning, ovality, hardness and NDT results for every piece.
- Released with paperwork. Data record, dossier and mill test certificates at dispatch.
- Fully traceable. From mother-pipe heat number to delivery note.

Sustainability
About 85% of a bend’s footprint is its steel, so we cut carbon where it counts: in the pipe we buy, the power we use and the water we recover.
