Scope of offshore steel works in the UAE
Offshore steel works UAE includes structural steel packages for marine and oil and gas environments. Common deliverables are platform structures, jackets, decks, helidecks, flare booms, pipe racks and subsea support frames.
Platform structures and decks
For a Jebel Ali offshore logistics project in Dubai, a client may need a grillage deck with lifting lugs, while an Abu Dhabi Mussafah package may involve a 40 metric tonne topside module. We fabricate the steel, weld to the approved WPS, carry out NDT and prepare the assembly for loadout.
Jackets, flare booms and subsea support
Jackets and flare booms require tight dimensional control. Subsea support frames often use higher-grade steel and full penetration welds.
For capability proof, see our completed offshore and industrial steel projects.

Offshore steel works UAE cost per tonne and what drives pricing
Offshore steel works UAE pricing is usually calculated per tonne. For standard structural steel, expect AED 6,500 to AED 11,000 per tonne. Complex jackets, high spec decks and heavy NDT scopes can reach AED 13,000 to AED 16,000 per tonne.
The main cost drivers are material grade, drawing complexity, weld volume, NDT requirements, surface protection and delivery point. A lighter Dubai marine project with simple pipe racks may sit near AED 7,000 per tonne. A high spec Abu Dhabi jacket with full traceability and 100 percent UT on critical welds may approach AED 14,000 per tonne.
For oil and gas steel fabrication UAE, compare offers on an ex works or delivered basis. Blasting, painting and preparation for loadout are often quoted separately.

How to choose a reliable offshore steel fabricator in the UAE
Look for a fabricator with qualified welders, in-house NDT coordination, class approval knowledge and a documented quality system. Ask for MDR samples, tolerance reports and previous loadout photos.
Check whether the workshop can handle the panel size and weight. A fabricator should also have clear access to the delivery point. In the UAE, that can mean different requirements for Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah or Fujairah depending on port and road permits.
