The pride of METAllurgy

Vysota 239, a plant making large-diameter pipes and the flagship of METAllurgy, was put into operation at ChelPipe in July 2010. Its unusual name (“vysota” is the Russian for “height”) is due to its location at an altitude of 239 meters above the sea level, far above other pipe plants around the world. According to Forbes and Afisha magazines and the Jury of the Best Building Awards, the facility is one of the most beautiful industrial buildings in the world.

Strategic supplier of large-diameter pipes

Vysota 239 is the first investment project in the steel industry covered by state guarantees. At the end of 2008, ChelPipe was included in the list of the country's strategic facilities, and in early 2010, Gazprombank provided a RUB 5 bln loan to complete the plant.

This production facility fully provides the Russian fuel and energy sector with large-diameter pipes, and there is no need to import LDP any more. ChelPipe Group's strategic partner for LDP production at Vysota 239 is Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, which successfully completed its Mill 5000 project.

Cooperation with the fuel and energy sector

Modern pipe production facility using unique green technology that ensure high quality of pipes is capable of meeting any requirements of fuel and energy companies going forward.

Tubular products manufactured at Vysota 239 are designed for use in permafrost areas, seismic zones, and at the sea bottom. All products are certified in line with the standards of ChelPipe Group's key customers – fuel and energy companies.

Technologies

Each pipe passes several stages of inspection to guarantee high product quality. At Vysota 239, the pipes are subject to ultrasonic and x-ray television examination, and all items are subject to mandatory hydrostatic testing simulating the operation process under heavy loads.

At the customer's request, pipes may be protected with internal and/or external corrosion-resistant coating. All products are labelled before shipping.
