Tertiary steel (predominantly Grades S275) shall comply with BS EN 10025: 1993
Specification for Hot Rolled Products of Non-alloy Structural Steels and their
Technical Delivery Conditions and BS EN
10210:1997 Spec.- Hot-Finished Structural Hollow Sections.
Material Properties
Reduced thicknesses may be adopted for pre-fabricated items which are inherently
corrosion resistant (e.g. stainless steel wall cladding).
Coating of steelwork shall be in accordance with the Specification for Protective Coating
5 Material Specification
The following table provides information on specifying materials for use in a topsides
module:
Note: Grade S460 steel shall only be used where a substantial weight saving can be
demonstrated to
offset the higher material cost.
Corrosion Protection
Fire Protection
The extent of passive fire protection (PFP) required is dependent on area classifications
and the results of the Fire Risk Assessment (FRA). Specific requirements will be
confirmed by technical safety during the detail design of a module structure.
