Weigh up the options
Save weight, time and cost on module construction – with no compromise on quality
Minimising the weight of structures such as LQ and LER modules on offshore platforms and FPSOs is a top priority for oil companies and their contractors. By reducing the weight of ‘non- production’ facilities on the platform, oil companies can maximise the amount of revenue-generating extraction and production kit onboard.
Choosing lightweight components also reduces installation and shipping costs, cuts programme times and improves safety.
The Alphastrut aluminium support system is a revolutionary, lightweight, load-bearing alternative to conventional
steel support frameworks.
Half the weight of steel support systems
The low density of aluminium makes Alphastrut more than 50% lighter than steel alternatives, while the unique design gives Alphastrut sections an improved strength- to-weight ratio over steel products with
the same load-bearing capacity.
Less than half the cost of stainless steel
Combine this with cost savings of more than 60% over stainless steel, and you have the ideal weight and cost-saving solution, with no compromise on strength, durability or sustainability.
Versatile system for multiple applications
The versatility of Alphastrut means it
can also be used for a variety of other applications, such as support grids and frameworks for all M&E services, including pipework, cable management, HVAC and architectural installations.
