A leading EPC contractor faced a major schedule setback when four super duplex stainless steel puddle pipes (2” × 1 m) were missed from the original procurement package. These components were vital to completing civil works and allowing subsequent trades to proceed.

Local suppliers quoted lead times exceeding four weeks, threatening project deadlines and budgets. BEP Flow Solutions stepped in to deliver a fast, compliant, and cost-effective solution.

Scope of Work:

• Sourced super duplex SS pipes and plates with full 3.1 certification.
• Machined and threaded both pipe ends to precise tolerances.
• Laser-cut matching base plates and welded pipe-to-plate joints to ASME Section IX WPS & PQR.
• Conducted 100% dye penetrant testing of welds.
• Performed pickling and passivation to restore corrosion resistance.
• Designed and supplied custom HDPE protective caps for transport protection.

Outcome:

• Delivered complete assemblies in two weeks — half the standard lead time.
• Achieved around 25% cost savings compared to local competitors.
• Enabled the EPC to avoid project delays and maintain downstream schedules.

BEP Flow’s ability to combine precision fabrication, certified materials, and efficient project coordination ensured the client received a reliable, compliant, and cost-effective solution under tight time pressure.
