As a part of Surya group’s expansion plans in the steel sector and also to take advantage of the burgeoning demand for spiral welded pipes for transportation of Oil, Gas and Water as well as structural and industrial applications. Surya Group has set up a modern large manufacturing plant under the name " Surya Global Steel Tubes Ltd."in Gujarat This plant would also have additional facilities for production of ERW pipes. The spiral welded pipes would be used mainly for transmission of oil, gas and water at various pressures and densities over long distances. Considering the challenging and varied applications, the pipes would be produced to meet high standards of specifications both, national and international, including that of API (American Petroleum institute). The plant situated in an area of about 100 acres and located on the National Highway at Bhuvad village (Anjar) in Kutch will produce Spiral Welded Pipes in the range from 18” to 100” with maximum wall thickness of 1” (25.4mm) conforming to API/ASTM specifications up to API5L, Gr.X80. This plant has capacity of 200,000 MT per annum. This plant would be having adequate anti corrosion 3LPE/3LPP/FBE coating facilities both for outer and inner surfaces which would be operational by December 2010. All the machines for manufacturing of Spiral Welded Pipes are imported from Byard Malaysia and Germany, who are world class manufacturers of Spiral Pipe Plant machinery.
