Types of Structural Steel for Oil and Gas Applications
The oil and gas industry utilizes a range of structural steel products in construction and various industrial applications. Structures like oil platforms, offshore oil rigs, pipelines, and various oil and gas equipment can all benefit from steel’s tensile strength and durability.
Relevant structural steel shapes we offer include:
- Wide Flange Beams. Wide flange beams are used in structural applications like constructing buildings and bridges. These beams have a nearly perpendicular flange to the web of material. We offer wide flange beams in numerous sizes, lengths, and specifications for oil rigs and oil platforms.
