that contractors and suppliers must meet during the lifecycle of structural steel components. It is designed to standardize engineering practices across all ADNOC Group Companies
Controlled dimensional tolerances, geometric accuracy, shop detailing. Avoidance of built-in structural stresses; seamless fit-up.
: Standard structural models are built using 3D modeling programs like Tekla Structures to confirm that connections match the loads specified in AGES-SP-01-003 (Structural Design Basis).
is the official engineering standard used by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) that outlines the mandatory requirements for the Structural Steel Supply, Fabrication, and Erection across all its onshore and offshore downstream and upstream facilities. Under the Abu Dhabi General Engineering Services (AGES) framework, this document standardizes asset integrity, safety, and quality assurance among contractors, engineering partners, and procurement specialists working on ADNOC megaprojects. ages-sp-01-002
: Managed by the ADNOC PT&CS Directorate, it must be implemented by subsidiaries including ADNOC Onshore, Offshore, Refining, and Gas Processing .
A welder prepares a joint for a new switchgear building at Zirku Island . They aren't just following a drawing; they are following of the specification. This section dictates the exact "recipe" for a weld—how hot it must be and how it must be tested—to prevent a "loss of containment" that could lead to disaster. 3. The Final Guard
The guide typically covers the following critical areas for structural steel projects: that contractors and suppliers must meet during the
: It ensures structures can survive the extreme, corrosive operating environments of the Arabian Gulf.
Below are two post options—one for a professional professional network like LinkedIn and a shorter, more technical update for an internal or project-focused platform. Option 1: LinkedIn (Professional & Compliance-Focused)
The expected environmental exposure (e.g., vs. onshore inland desert environment). : Standard structural models are built using 3D
This comprehensive engineering standard establishes the strict technical, quality, and safety criteria required for all structural steelwork deployed across upstream and downstream energy infrastructure. Governed by the ADNOC Projects, Technical & Procurement Support (PT&CS) Directorate , this standard applies globally to major offshore and onshore asset facilities. Compliance with this code ensures that structures withstand intense operational and environmental conditions, eliminating structural risks while maximizing life cycles. Scope and Regulatory Framework
Mandated for full-penetration butt joints to detect hidden sub-surface volumetric flaws. Integration into Project Ecosystems
AGES-SP-01-002 (Structural Steel Supply, Fabrication, and Erection) Key Reminders: Documentation:
: The engineering contractor submits structural designs and material grades for review against the master specification indices.
Used as a volumetric NDE method for specific applications, including fillet weld arrangements or thinner materials (
