Capabilities

Two hot induction bending lines covering 4″ to 80″, with fabrication, coating, logistics and a full data record around every bend.

  • 4″–80″Pipe sizes
  • 2 linesBending in parallel
  • 60 mmMaximum wall
  • X80Highest API 5L grade

Range

Two lines, the full range

Line 1 covers 4″–36″ and Line 2 covers 24″–80″. The overlap means mid-range work never waits on one machine.

Size explorer

Standard nominal sizes, with outside diameter and centreline radius for your bend factor.

Welds you avoid

Each induction bend replaces an elbow and two girth welds. Enter the bends on your route.

girth welds removed from the line

  • Weld inspections not needed 240
  • Joints to fit up on site 240 fewer
  • Material Same spec as the line

Based on two girth welds saved per bend versus welded elbows.

Process

Eight controlled steps, one plant

  1. 01

    Receive and verify

    Mill certificate review, PMI and dimensional check.

  2. 02

    Set up

    Radius, angle and speed programmed; coil and clamp fitted.

  3. 03

    Induction heat

    A narrow band of the pipe is heated to about 1,000 °C.

  4. 04

    Bend and quench

    Pushed through the coil as the arm forms the bend.

  5. 05

    Heat treat

    Stress relief or quench and temper restores properties.

  6. 06

    Test

    UT, MPI, hardness, ovality and wall-thinning checks.

  7. 07

    Finish

    Bevelled, hydrotested, blasted and coated as required.

  8. 08

    Release

    Data record, dossier and MTC issued; marked and dispatched.

Products and services

Everything around the bend, on one purchase order

An EPC buying bends, pipe, fittings and coating from four parties manages four interfaces. We turn them into one UAE purchase order.

  • Hot induction bends

    Core

    4″–80″, walls to 60 mm, API 5L grades to X80, radii 2D–10D and angles to 90°.

  • Fabrication

    In house

    Spools, segmentable and structural bends on the same yard.

  • Coating

    Partners

    PU, epoxy, FBE and 3LPE through our coating partners.

  • Pipe and fittings

    Supplied

    Line pipe, fittings and flanges from partner mills, or free-issued by you.

  • Logistics

    Partners

    Forwarding, a bonded yard next to Khalifa Port and site kitting in installation order.

  • Commercial terms

    Available

    48-hour quotations, expedite slots under three weeks and bank-funded 90–120 day terms.

  • Low-carbon bends

    Available

    EAF-sourced pipe and solar power, for projects with carbon targets.

  • Data record

    Every bend

    Process 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.

  1. Line pipe is ordered from our partner mills, or free-issued by you, and inspected before it ships.

  2. Pipe travels as consolidated project cargo on our logistics partners’ fleets.

  3. Customs clearance is handled in house at Khalifa Port, next door to the plant.

  4. Pipe is stored and preserved in our bonded yard beside the port, ready for the bending line.

  5. Every bend is made, tested and coated in KEZAD, and logged under its own number.

  6. Heavy-lift dispatch by road to KSA and Oman, or by sea with re-export papers for Iraq, Africa and beyond.

  7. Bends arrive kitted in installation order, each with its full data record.

  • 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.
