The visit began with a comprehensive tour of GNEE’s advanced production facility. As the demand for high-strength steel continues to rise in the European energy sector, Portuguese companies are increasingly looking toward reliable partners who can meet the stringent requirements of Product Specification Level 2 (PSL2).
The delegation performed a hands-on inspection of a current batch of API 5L X70 PSL2 pipes. The inspection covered:
Dimensional Accuracy: Verifying wall thickness and outside diameter tolerances according to ASME B36.10.
Surface Quality: Inspecting the internal and external coatings (3LPE/FBE) designed for long-term corrosion protection.
Certification Review: A thorough audit of the Mill Test Certificates (MTC) and ISO compliance documents.
Following the successful inspection, GNEE and the Portuguese client finalized a long-term supply agreement. This partnership underscores GNEE’s growing influence in the European market and its ability to deliver high-performance steel solutions that meet the complex demands of modern infrastructure.
