Industry-Leading experience in Pipeline Welding
For over 100 years, Lincoln Electric has been assisting companies to construct pipelines across the United States and around the world. For quality pipe welds, you need quality equipment and consumables along with industry leading experience––that’s why we know pipelines.

PIPELINE

The Situation
Productivity challenges. Budget constraints. Consistent quality. And harsh conditions. If you’re managing a pipeline or building a new one, you have to juggle a handful of potential problems every day.
Having consistent and repeatable welds that keep your pipelines progressing are paramount to success.
The Solution
We are proud to provide modular, mechanized welding systems to the pipeline industry, incorporating everything you may need for superior orbital welding of pipe. This includes the Orbital GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) and the Orbital GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) systems, each engineered for diverse applications in demanding environments.

SPOOL BASE

The Situation
The costs of developing deepwater discoveries into producing properties is driving the rise in the use of hub-and-spoke field arrangements. These spokes are fabricated on land at a spoolbase, and wound onto a ship, which in turn unwind into the ocean during installation.
The welding acceptance criteria of these pipes are some of the most stringent in the industry.
The Solution
Lincoln Electric manufactures mechanized systems that have revolutionized the industry, enabling you to weld multi-pass joints of varying material of pipe for spooling onto a ship and installing to a rig, just about anywhere in the world.
