Strohm, the world’s first and leading provider of Thermoplastic Composite Pipes (TCP), has introduced TCP-Designer™, a new web-based tool designed to support companies in planning and designing thermoplastic composite pipelines for their projects.
TCP-Designer™ helps users ensure that their pipeline systems meet critical requirements related to water depth, pressure, temperature, and installation methods—all within a seamless digital experience. The online tool is developed to streamline pipe design assessment during the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase, enabling engineers to quickly and accurately evaluate the suitability of TCP for various applications.
By entering project-specific specifications, users can instantly generate data sheets with key parameters such as size, weight, stiffness, and minimum bending radius, allowing them to efficiently assess factors like installation feasibility and on-site analysis. For example, users can quickly evaluate the wide range of vessels available for installing the lightweight TCP at any water depth.
The tool simplifies decision-making, reduces design iteration time, and supports the adoption of cost-effective, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant TCP solutions in energy infrastructure and other industrial projects.
Martin van Onna, CEO of Strohm, commented: "While there is an abundance of information available on the design and construction of steel pipelines, the same does not apply to composite pipes. Strohm has a strong track record both offshore and onshore, but there is still some hesitation in the industry due to a lack of information about TCP’s capabilities and potential."
"We aim to support our clients, as well as engineering firms worldwide, by providing the right tools to simplify complex challenges. TCP-Designer™ enables users to design their own pipeline systems perfectly tailored to their project needs, with the reassurance that Strohm’s engineering team is just a call away if they need to discuss specific projects. This innovation is designed for efficiency, precision, and peace of mind."
TCP-Designer™ offers intuitive features that streamline the complex pipeline design and engineering process. With a user-friendly interface and powerful calculation capabilities, users can customize the pipe design according to specific project requirements and environmental conditions and generate comprehensive data sheets within minutes.
