An undisclosed party active in the offshore industry ordered parts which will be used for an offshore construction. The order has been awarded to Niron Staal because of its competences of S690 (high tensile steel) welding. This particular part specifies 150 mm thick K-welds in specially ordered steel plates with CE > 0,72.
