Offshore
The offshore industry is evolving. While this sector used to be primarily associated with oil and gas, its focus today is much broader. Offshore energy now also encompasses applications in offshore renewables and marine energy. In this market, reliability, documentation, and on-time delivery are crucial. It is a market in which the Dutch offshore energy industry ranks among the world’s best.
Your partner for offshore fasteners
Hetraco supplies fasteners for offshore projects where quality and speed must go hand in hand. Large bolts, studs, and stud bolts with the appropriate certification are our specialty. We manufacture according to drawings or specifications and tailor the material, dimensions, and surface treatment to the product’s requirements.
In the offshore energy sector, Hetraco has already participated in various projects in collaboration with partners and clients throughout the supply chain. These include applications for gangways, offshore platforms, FPSO systems, heavy construction equipment, and projects related to the Pioneering Spirit.
Fastening components for heavy-duty offshore applications
In the offshore energy sector, fasteners are often exposed to heavy loads, corrosive conditions, and strict quality controls. This requires components that are not only mechanically suitable but also demonstrably compliant with the required standards. Common products in this sector include bolts, nuts, stud bolts, and custom parts manufactured to drawings. These often range in size from M16 to large diameters for critical connections in steel structures, installations, and equipment.
Commonly used materials in the offshore energy sector include 34CrNiMo6, 42CrMo4, 30CrNiMo8, and various duplex grades such as 1.4410, 1.4501, 1.4462, and 1.4418. Various combinations are also possible in the area of surface treatment, depending on the environment and the desired level of protection.
Certification and processing in accordance with specifications
In offshore projects, requirements related to traceability and certification are often just as important as the product itself. That is why we supply fasteners with 3.1 or 3.2 certificates and documentation from independent certification bodies such as Lloyd’s, Bureau Veritas, DNV, and ABS.
Surface treatments for offshore applications
In addition, various surface treatments are available, such as:
- PTFE coatings in various colors
- Zinc flake coating
- Electrolytic galvanizing
- Copper plating
- Xylan or Xylar coating
- Chemical blackening
Every product is different, just like the environment in which it is used. That is why Hetraco works with reliable suppliers and specialized partners to manage production, finishing, and delivery according to specifications and the customer’s preferences. This ensures that you receive a fastening solution that is technically sound and practical to use.
Adapting quickly in a market where standing still costs money
Offshore projects have tight schedules and high costs associated with delays. That is why speed in communication and delivery is crucial. Hetraco is equipped to respond quickly to technical inquiries and work with you to find the best solution. You will have direct contact with experts who understand the specifics of your project.
Hetraco: connecting every industry
We not only supply parts, but also ensure that specifications, certification, and finish meet customer requirements. This makes us a trusted partner for many customers in the offshore sector, as well as in other industries such as maritime applications, equipment manufacturing, and petrochemicals.
