🧱Inside a Pipeline’s Life Cycle: How Pipekom Ensures Quality from Start to Finish

Every pipeline starts as an idea — a line drawn on a project plan. But before it carries water, oil, or gas across vast distances, it must go through a complex, highly controlled journey. At Pipekom, we make sure every step of that journey meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and reliability.

🔩 Step 1: From Raw Steel to Welded Pipe

The process begins in the steel mill, where high-grade coils or plates are transformed into welded steel pipes — whether ERW (Electric Resistance Welded), LSAW (Longitudinal Submerged Arc Welded), or SSAW (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded).Each manufacturing method has its own advantages depending on the project’s pressure class, size, and length.

Our team ensures that every pipe meets the chemical composition and dimensional accuracy specified in international standards. Pipekom coordinates closely with the mill to verify forming, edge preparation, and welding quality, ensuring a flawless seam and uniform structure.

🧪 Step 2: Quality Assurance & Testing

Before any pipe leaves the factory, it undergoes a comprehensive QA inspection — a process Pipekom monitors closely on behalf of our clients. Non-destructive tests (NDT) such as ultrasonic testing (UT), radiography, and hydrostatic pressure tests confirm the integrity of each joint.

Our inspection scope includes:

• Dimensional and visual inspection

• Weld bead analysis and hardness testing

• Marking and traceability verification

• Coating adhesion and thickness checks

This ensures that what’s delivered to the site is not just compliant — it’s Pipekom-approved ✅

🧴 Step 3: Protective Coating & Corrosion Resistance

After welding and testing, the pipes move to the coating line, where they’re treated with FBE (Fusion Bonded Epoxy), 3-Layer PE (3LPE), or 3-Layer PP (3LPP) coatings. These advanced coatings guard against corrosion, impact damage, and UV exposure — extending the service life of the pipeline for decades.

Pipekom’s coating specialists ensure every coated steel pipe achieves optimal surface preparation and coating integrity, meeting client and environmental requirements.

🚢 Step 4: Logistics & Delivery to Site

Finally, the coated pipes are carefully packed, tagged, and loaded for transport. Whether it’s for water transmission, oil & gas, or infrastructure projects, Pipekom manages the entire pipe logistics chain — from mill to port, and from port to project site.

Through trusted partnerships with manufacturers and freight forwarders, we guarantee on-time delivery, traceability, and project-specific documentation, ensuring our clients get exactly what they expect, when they expect it.

🌍 Pipekom’s Commitment

From production oversight to final delivery, Pipekom stands as a trusted link between manufacturers and project owners, ensuring that every pipe installed reflects excellence, reliability, and trust.

Because for us, every pipeline isn’t just a product — it’s a promise of quality from start to finish.
