PAO Severstal, one of the world's leading vertically integrated steel and steel-related mining companies, has won a tender to supply about 160 000 t of large diameter pipes for Gazprom's major gas transmission project Power of Siberia. The pipes are to be manufactured by the Izhora Pipe Mill (IPM), a part of Severstal's Russian Steel division.
Construction of the pipeline involves supply of 14.2 m pipes produced of K60 grade places with 21.7 mm wall thickness with inner and outer anti-corrosion coatings. IPM's large-diameter pipes are made using self-rolled sheet produced at the 5000 Sheet Rolling Mill at the Cherepovets Steel Mill's #3 Sheet Shop.
Vitaly Motorin, Director of pipe production for Severstal's Russian Steel division, commented: 鈥淚zhora Pipe Mill already has experience of successful production of pipes for Power of Siberia Project. Besides, Severstal as a vertically integrated steel company produces its own raw materials, has its own steelmaking and rolling facilities that altogether provide substantial synergies for the company.鈥�
Pipes will be delivered to the consumer by river and railway transport.
