SolVin SA – Belgium
Producer of thick-walled seamless
pipes, Valcovna Trub TZ, AS, Czech
Republic, has commissioned the most
extensive investment in its history.
The company has put into operation a
modernised main production line – the
Big Mannesmann. The reconstruction
and modernisation cost 700 million
Czech koruna.
“The main asset, besides increasing
the amount of our overall production,
is improvement of the pipes’ surface
quality and their accuracy,” commented
Jaroslav Sarovsky, MBA, director of the
company.
During the last year, the company
produced more than 79kT of pipes.
After the investment, the capacity will
reach a level of 123kT p/a.
The company uses the Mannesmann
technology to produce a wide port-
folio, with outer diameters from 60.3
to 406.4mm and wall thicknesses from
6.3 to 65mm, made of carbon as well as
alloy steel.
A large part of the production
programme is 95/8" to 133/8" casing
and 65/ 8" to 16" line pipe, applicable
in oil and gas exploitation and in
geological prospecting, in grades
J/K55, N80, L80 and P110.
The final destination for the products
are, in addition to the domestic market,
most European countries and some of
the states of North Africa, the Near and
Middle East, Asia and the American
continent. Share of export represents
around 70%.
