Severn Glocon has built a really big valve

Over the next six months four valves with more than 1m bore and 21 tonnes will have been despatched from the Gloucester factory. Two are for the Ichthys LNG project in Australia and the others are destined for a Middle East oilfield.
Successful completion of these technically challenging valves will underline the calibre of Severn Glocon’s intelligence-led engineering and its in-house capabilities. Coping with their size and weight alone requires extensive logistics planning. This is particularly complex for the LNG valves which need to undergo cryogenic testing to prove they can operate reliably at temperatures as low as -160°C.
Future developments in the oil and gas industry will see valves of this size becoming a more regular feature. Severn Glocon has invested in technical expertise, facilities and infrastructure to meet the challenge.
