17th October 2023<\/em>: Specialist designer, manufacturer and supplier of structural steel elements, Peikko South Africa, reports on the successful completion of a manufacture and supply contract for a piperack project at a refinery located in Angola\u2019s oil rich province of Cabinda.<\/p>\n

Daniel Petrov<\/strong>, Managing Director of Peikko South Africa, explains that Peikko South Africa\u2019s scope of works comprised detail design (based on an overall design brief provided by the refinery\u2019s EPC contractor), and shop drawings for structural elements manufacture (including product surface finishes to project specifications and packaging). All structural elements detailed and manufactured by Peikko are a major part of the overall steel piperack structure.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeikko was approached directly by the EPC contractor at the early tender stage as the contractor recognised our expertise in detail design and manufacture processes and procedures. This prowess played an important role in selection and decision making process and culminated with Peikko\u2019s appointment for this specific project,\u201d adds Petrov.<\/p>\n

The EPC contractor inspected Peikko\u2019s manufacture premises in Dubai as part of sub-contractor pre-appointment process to satisfy quality and competence procedures met stringent oil industry constriction standards.<\/p>\n

For example, detailing required intensive coordination between the EPC contractor and Peikko\u2019s design team \u2013 a process that went smoothly due in large measure to Peikko\u2019s certified Quality, Environmental and Safety Management Systems, conforming to\u00a0ISO 9001:2015<\/a>,\u00a0ISO 14001:2015<\/a>, and\u00a0ISO 45001:2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Its main production units are certified according to\u00a0ISO 3834-2\u00a0and\u00a0EN 1090. The company is also certified by American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), by Canadian Welding\u00a0Bureau (CWB)\u00a0and by Steelwork Compliance Australia (SCA).<\/p>\n

Petrov says: \u201cAlthough the Peikko team was not involved in any on site assembly works, the \u2018plug and play\u2019 nature of Peikko\u2019s products allow for ease of assembly by on-site construction teams\u201d. In terms of product detailing, surface preparation and finishes, (including painting and hot dip galvanizing) the final compliance met the high-specification requirements during the manufacture process and the overall structural safety codes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are confident that the positive outcomes of this specific project will ultimately open doors and opportunities for other projects in Angola with the same EPC contractor and other customers as Peikko continues on its expansion drive across the African region,\u201d concludes Petrov.<\/p>\n
