Between 2017 and 2018 Monsud
S.p.A has carried out the engineering,
supply, inspection, testing, packaging
and transport of steel structures,
including the various surface
treatments, as a subcontractor to
Saipem S.p.A. , the EPC general
contractor responsible for the entire
plant’s project, from design and
engineering to supply, construction
and commissioning

Monsud S.p.A. has made use of an internal team
of structural technicians and mechanical designers
of proven experience to carry out the complementary

Here following a detailed list of activities carried out structures, allowing the modeling of steel structures
by Monsud S.p.A. in relation to the project and the creation of shop drawings starting from the
“Cornegliano Laudense Natural Gas”: 3D MODEL (Figure 3).
• Detailed executive design, i.e., structural
design of pipe-racks, piping and mechanical The works supplied by Monsud S.p.A. mainly
components, workshop and assembly concerned the following structures:
drawings; • Pipe racks: about 998 tonnes;
Figure 3 - Structures • Supply of metal carpentry for Pipe Racks, • Process structures: about 200 tonnes;
modeled with Tekla Process structures, Shelters, Gangways; • Shelters (sheds): about 550 tonnes;
Structures software
• Provision of stairs, parapets; • Gangways and secondary structures: about
100 tonnes.

The structures were built according to the EXC3
execution class, in accordance with EN 1090, and
the steel used is quality S275JR, according to EN
10025. All the structures were prefabricated at the
Monsud factory in Tufo (AV).
The sequence of working of steel structures was as
follows:
• sandblasting of beams, profiles, sheets and
pipes carried out with OMSC blasting machine
with 8 turbines, Turbotecnica 16 turbines;
• cutting, drilling and marking operations carried
out with GEMINI/FICEP automatic lines with
numerical control for L-beams and profiles;
• cutting, drilling and pre-processing of the
plates and handkerchiefs for the composition
of the knots performed with automatic thermal
cut (plasma /oxy-cut) ESAB table 3000 x
