Alleima has introduced an on-site tubing solution, a mobile machine capable of straightening and cutting thick-walled coiled tubing directly at the construction site.
This solution changes how coiled tubing is supplied across Canada, particularly for the installation of hydrogen refuelling stations. By bringing the equipment to the job site, Alleima streamlines the setup process and eliminates the need for off-site processing.
Alleima’s mobile unit offers a versatile, cost-effective alternative by delivering tubing cut to exact specifications on demand, wherever it is needed.
Tobias Lummerich, Alleima’s Global Industry Manager, said: “Canada is currently one of the largest hydrogen producers, with several major projects announced in 2024, including hydrogen refuelling stations and production facilities. As a steel producer, Alleima plays a key role in supporting hydrogen infrastructure with our experience in high-quality steel tubing solutions.”
“With our on-site tubing solution, we support customers in building hydrogen refuelling stations. It minimises waste, reduces labour efforts, and eliminates the need for fittings or welds, decreasing potential weak points in the system.”
Utilising a 20 ft container platform, the mobile unit is operated by the Alleima team who are trained in handling high-pressure thick-wall coils up to 1 in.
