Pipelines.

Pipelines are used for the transportation of liquids and gasses over long distances. Pipeline projects are often long term and complex. In order to carry them out successfully, we have a global network of professionals with expert knowledge of material specifications and the required coatings. Moreover, we have experienced colleagues to design smart logistical concepts in order to limit the total cost in the supply chain as much as possible.

Pipeline applications.

This business segment is characterized by large volumes of material, high quality demands and intensive inspections. Examples of pipeline applications are:

  • Pipelines for water supply (drinking or industry water)
  • Pipelines connecting petrochemical plants to tank storage farms
  • Pipelines for the infrastructure (e.g. to supply gas to households or companies)
  • Pipelines to transport oil or gas from the exploration site to the next processing step
  • Pipelines for hydrogen

Products.

To customers in this market segment we offer a wide variety of products, often in high yield material grades such as X52, X65, X70 or even higher. 

Our product portfolio can be found via the Products Overview page.

Read about our showcase project below:
Jet fuel pipeline UK.
The project concerned the replacement of a pipeline delivering jet fuel from Southampton to the airports of London, notably Heathrow. For the Van Leeuwen company in the UK, this was the largest single project for our global customer Exxon Mobil, locally Esso UK.

During 2020, the dedicated project team made sure 10,000 tonnes of specialised hot rolled seamless piping, with a 3 layer polyethylene coating, were delivered. The suppliers in Germany worked closely with the Van Leeuwen team to deliver the clients exacting specification, with a commitment to logistics sustainability, via trains and chartered vessels for delivery to the UK.
The almost 100 kilometres of pipe manufactured by Vallourec Germany, and 842 bespoke coated bends, were successfully discharged in the UK in the port of Marchwood, in the vicinity of Southampton.

To ensure a smooth execution, we used our proven Dedicated Project Storage Area (DPSA) concept. Working along Esso’s nominated EPC, Worley, Van Leeuwen and its partners discharged from chartered specialised ships, inspected and stowed safely the almost 8.000 pipes into the grass root developed DPSA.
The four acre DPSA, fully managed by Van Leeuwen, has served as the focal point for inventory control for the project partners, with Van Leeuwen supplying data analysis to the project and ensuring an ‘on time’ availability when loadouts were required ensuring a reliable supply flow during the pipeline construction at the ‘right-of-way’.

The coated pipes were protected by special shields for UV protection. A continued safe load plan was executed during 2022 to the contract partner Spiecapag/Taylor Woodrow, which was completed without incident in February 2023. The DPSA concept and the Van Leeuwen project management team both strongly contributed to a successful execution of this important pipeline project in the UK.
