About this case
introduction
Some time ago Hollandia was granted the ambitious project to fabricate a water treatment module for MPP.
Achieving high cutting quality was of crucial importance for the project. Also, due to the fact that the platform will be located offshore all the beam edges needed to have a radius. In order to focus on what they do best – fitting and welding – Hollandia decided to outsource all the cutting and edge breaking: “What we discovered in the past couple of years is that we get better quality results when we outsource than if we’ve done it ourselves.

Outsourcing
In order to be on schedule with the prefabrication, Hollandia decided to outsource all the pipe cutting and beam cutting for the water treatment system to HGG. “There’s always the chance to receive the cut tubes and beams later than expected, but when outsourcing at HGG we realized that it is a reliable company from which we get the right quality results always on time.”, Ad Rietveld – Manager Outsourcing at Hollandia – explains. By outsourcing all the cutting to HGG, Hollandia can now focus on what they are best at – fitting and welding.
No need for grinding
The model was made on Tekla software and according to Hollandia was afterwards very easy to integrate with the HGG software and machinery. What appeared to be the greatest benefit from outsourcing at HGG were the accurate cuts resulting in minimised grinding: “One of the biggest advantages of HGG is that they make a bevel on the cut profiles. That saves us many grinding hours. We have a tolerance of 1 or 2mm, so there’s almost nothing left to grind and we can build very quickly. this is very good!”, Hans Peter Labee – Fitter at Hollandia, adds.
‘The biggest challenge of this project is the time. Besides having to deliver on time, we also have to deliver a very high quality product’
