We offer a number of additional services and are happy to discuss any specific requirements. We pride ourselves on being able to find a solution so please get in touch if you have something specific in mind.
Lab Testing
Sourced nationally and internationally, our third-party test houses have the capabilities to strength test and validate every pipe that comes through our yard. We have the ability to confirm our steel quality and specification.
Shot Blasting
Abrasive blasting can be used to clean our repurposed tubulars, as well as to remove any surface contaminants.
Painting
For protection against corrosion, we can arrange for pipe to be painted to exact specifications.
Galvanising
For long-term corrosion protection, we can arrange for the galvanising of pipe as required.
Frequently Asked Questions
The tubulars arrive at our yard mainly by lorry but occasionally also unload containers. The loads go across the weighbridge before being taken into the yard to be unloaded. The tubulars are visually inspected for any noticeable defects or excessive wear. Wall thickness is checked to make sure it meets our specification. Material is then split into carbon steel or %CR material. Any material which requires cleaning is put to our high-water pressure cleaner before going to storage bays awaiting an order.
We operate two fully automated saws for the cutting of the tubulars to the customer’s specifications. The tubulars require cutting for many reasons including access at the site or the pitch of the rig. We have also had custom made machined spud joints manufactured for use with plain end pipe.
John Lawrie Tubulars have a large inventry of stock on the ground and take pride in our close working relationships with our haulage companies. We can deliver to site as quickly as the next working day!
For the safe and easy unloading of steel pipe at site, we offer customers the option of having the pipe slung with fully certified slings prior to departure from our operations yard. For orders where shorter material is required – 2.5 meters and under – we palletise the load.
