Project Overview & Requirements
The project required supply of multiple material grades across pipes, fittings, flanges, and plates — all conforming to stringent quality specifications with third-party inspection, complete traceability, and phased delivery aligned with construction milestones. Key challenges included: tight delivery timelines with penalty clauses, exotic alloy procurement with 8-12 week mill lead times, IBR certification requirements for pressure parts, NACE/HIC compliance for sour service components, and multi-grade material identification management to prevent mix-ups.
Creative Metal Industries was selected as a qualified supplier based on: proven track record of similar project supplies, comprehensive stock holding across all required material families, documented quality management system, competitive pricing with transparent mill sourcing, and technical capability to provide material consultation and grade equivalence support. Our GIDC Makarpura warehouse served as the central staging area for material consolidation and inspection before dispatch.
Material Supplied & Grades
The project supply included multiple material families from our standard inventory and indent sources: Stainless Steel — SS 304L/316L seamless pipes (ASTM A312), plates (A240), fittings (A403), flanges (A182). Carbon Steel — CS seamless pipes (A106 Gr.B), ERW pipes (A53), plates (A516 Gr.70), fittings (A234 WPB), flanges (A105). Alloy Steel — P91/P22/P11 seamless pipes (A335), alloy plates (SA 387), alloy fittings (A234 WP91/WP22). Duplex — 2205 seamless pipes (A790), plates (A240), fittings (A815). Structural — MS angles, channels, beams (IS 808/2062), TMT bars (IS 1786 Fe 500D).
Each material was sourced from approved mills per the project's Approved Vendor List (AVL): Jindal Stainless (JSAL) for SS. Maharashtra Seamless and ISMT for CS and alloy. Sumitomo and Vallourec for P91/P92 IBR material. Sandvik for duplex and exotic grades. SAIL for structural steel and TMT. All mill source approvals were documented and submitted to the EPC consultant for approval before order placement.
Quality Assurance & Inspection
The project QAP (Quality Assurance Plan) required: 100% PMI verification at CMI warehouse before dispatch. MTC review against specification by our QC team. Dimensional verification (sample basis per lot). Third-party inspection by approved agency (TPI) for all pressure-rated material. IBR inspector witnessing for P91/P22 alloy steel pipes and tubes. NABL-accredited laboratory testing for impact and HIC testing on NACE materials.
Results: Zero rejection at project incoming inspection across 6 months of phased supply. Complete documentation packages delivered within 3 working days of material dispatch. Heat number traceability maintained from mill to site with cross-reference index. All PMI results matched MTC chemistry within expected tolerances. TPI releases obtained within 24 hours of material readiness at our warehouse.
Delivery Performance & Logistics
Phased delivery was scheduled over 6 months aligned with construction sequence. CMI managed: warehouse space allocation for project-dedicated stock (preventing mix-up with general inventory), marking and identification per project-specific colour coding, bundle sizing per truck capacity for efficient transport, loading supervision with photographic documentation, and transit insurance for high-value exotic alloy consignments.
Delivery performance: 98% on-time delivery against project schedule. Average delivery time 2-3 days from dispatch authorization. Emergency deliveries handled within 24 hours for critical-path items. No material damage during transit (proper wooden supports, VCI wrapping for CS, plastic cap protection for pipe ends). Delivery challan with material reference linked to inspection release documents.
