: Cutting, shaping, welding, and treating steel elements inside certified workshops.
: Standards for sourcing raw steel to ensure structural integrity. Fabrication
is the official Structural Steel Supply, Fabrication, and Erection Specification issued by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) . Managed by the Group Projects & Engineering division, this rigorous framework governs the lifecycle of structural steel across all capital projects in the United Arab Emirates. It ensures that contractors, fabricators, and engineers maintain identical baselines for mechanical integrity, safety, and operational excellence across upstream, midstream, and downstream assets. The Strategic Context of AGES
Strict adherence to quality standards for raw steel components. Fabrication Excellence:
Contractors must source materials from mill facilities approved by ADNOC. All structural shapes, plates, and hollow sections must have complete mill test certificates (MTCs) traceable to the original heat number. Common structural grades typically comply with ASTM standards (such as ASTM A36 or ASTM A572) or European counterparts (such as EN 10025 S355), subject to additional chemistry and Charpy V-notch impact toughness limits imposed by ADNOC.

This document outlines the minimum technical requirements for structural steelwork across ADNOC and its group companies, covering:
The "AGES" prefix stands for . This framework standardizes operations across subsidiaries like ADNOC Onshore, ADNOC Offshore, and ADNOC Gas Processing.
Detailed requirements for welding, shop drawings, and tolerances to ensure every piece fits perfectly on-site. Erection & Installation:
is the official Structural Steel Supply, Fabrication, and Erection Specification mandated by the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company ( ADNOC ) . It provides a standardized framework ensuring that all civil and structural steel components used across ADNOC’s upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities meet stringent safety, quality, and environmental resilience benchmarks. : Cutting, shaping, welding, and treating steel elements
Welding must follow pre-qualified Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS).
The acronym stands for Abu Dhabi General Engineering Services . ADNOC established this unified standard platform to accomplish several critical engineering goals:
: In a completely different context, this could be a product model, a code for a part, or a specific version of a software.
All welding routines must be pre-qualified using approved Procedure Qualification Records (PQR). Managed by the Group Projects & Engineering division,
Dictates permissible steel grades, chemical compositions, and mechanical property testing.
: Fabricated modules undergo abrasive grit blasting followed by specialized multi-coat paint systems to prevent atmospheric corrosion.
This specification outlines the technical benchmarks for structural steel used across ADNOC’s upstream and downstream directorates. From massive offshore platforms to onshore processing facilities, this document ensures that every beam, bolt, and weld meets a unified level of quality.
