Bondstrand Composite Solutions on offshore platforms
Description

Unrivaled Experience

For more than 65 years, Bondstrand™ has been a trusted provider of corrosion-resistant, nonmetallic composite solutions for offshore projects, offering Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) piping systems, Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structural products, and Glass-Fiber Reinforced Vinyl Ester (GRVE) tanks. We combine our products with advanced design, manufacturing, and global engineering consultancy to deliver versatile and reliable solutions. From Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) to Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) vessels, our composite solutions save weight and eliminate corrosion, providing substantial benefits for our clients.

Integrated Advantages

Our composite solutions offer zero corrosion, up to 75% weight savings, and substantial operational cost reductions. They match the dimensions of metallic alternatives, handle high pressures and high loads, and have multiple global approvals. Enhancing safety, efficiency, and predictability, they lower lifetime costs, support life extension, and reduce the carbon footprint, making them ideal for marine, offshore and subsea projects.

Fulfilling Global Sustainability

Our composite materials, including piping systems, tanks and structural products, offer significant carbon footprint reductions compared to traditional metallic products. Their lower manufacturing energy requirements and reduced energy use over their lifespan contribute to fewer greenhouse gas emissions. In the face of climate challenges, composite materials are a compelling choice for sustainable marine, offshore and subsea projects.
