The Plant
The plant is located at the harbour of Kalundborg 100 km west of Copenhagen. The manufacturing facilities occupy a total site of 87,000 m², of which 25,000 m² is under roof. The factory has its own quayside with water depths ranging from 7 m to 10 m allowing the docking of installation vessels capable of handling all sizes and lengths of flexible pipe. Along the quayside a reinforced concrete deck enables NKT Flexibles to store offshore reels for direct loading on to the transport or installation vessels.
The factory has a production capacity well in excess of 100 km of flexible pipe per year, dependent on the distribution of designs and sizes.
Load-out
The NKT Flexibles factory is equipped with five turntables designed to match the capacity of the largest installation vessels known today. This enables NKT Flexibles to provide flowlines in very long lengths without subsea joints. Alternatively, the pipe can be delivered on 9.2 m diameter NKT Flexibles installation reels.
