Start with the asset and environment

Pipelines, tanks, vessels, port steelwork and offshore structures have different conditions. Structure type, material, dimensions, soil or water and medium information help define the product and service scope.

Clarify the cooperation scope

A customer may need material supply only, or may need system discussion, design input or construction support. Include a bill of materials, technical requirement or drawing when available.

Incomplete information is still useful

You can start with the asset, environment, known quantity or product direction. Drawings, technical requirements and project-stage information can be added during the follow-up discussion.

Key points

  • Protected asset and protection range
  • Soil, water or medium conditions
  • Material, design and construction boundary
