The UK-based project is scheduled to launch between late 2026 and early 2027 and is expected to generate at least 1.4 GWh of power, Interpipe stated in the press release . This output will be enough to supply electricity to more than 1.3 million households. The specialized pipes for these offshore projects were manufactured to strict specifications for wall thickness and geometric precision, and to high resistance to saltwater corrosion. The supply became possible after Interpipe’s launch of extra-heavy pipe production last year to serve large-scale infrastructure and energy projects. These pipes are used for offshore wind farm piers, bridges, stadiums, and even hydraulic supports in mines. Over the last three years, the company’s R&D team introduced more than 250 new types of pipes to the market, focusing on high-tech products for the construction and energy sectors.
