Strohm B.V. (IJmuiden, Netherlands), provider of thermoplastic composite pipes (TCP), has launches TCP Designer, its web-based tool helping companies design and engineer thermoplastic composite pipes. The application ensures that a user’s piping systems meet critical requirements for water depth, pressure, temperature and means of installation. It is also designed to streamline pipe design assessments during the front-end engineering design (FEED) stage of projects, enabling engineers to evaluate the suitability of TCP for various applications quickly and accurately.

By inputting project-specific specifications, users can instantly generate datasheets with key parameters such as size, weight, stiffness and minimum bend radius, achieving quick and easy factor assessment such as installation feasibility and in-place analysis. For instance, this allows the user to quickly assess the wide range of vessels available to install the lightweight TCP in any water depth.

Ultimately, the tool simplifies decision-making, reduces design iteration time and supports the adoption of cost-effective, lightweight and corrosion-resistant TCP solutions in energy infrastructure and other industrial projects.

“While there is a plethora of information about designing and engineering steel pipes, the same cannot be said for composite pipes,” says Strohm CEO Martin van Onna. “Strohm has an extensive track record, both offshore and onshore, but there is still a degree of hesitation in the industry due to a lack of information about TCP’s capabilities and potential. We want to empower our clients, but also engineering houses around the world, by providing the right tools to simplify complex challenges. TCP Designer allows users the independence to design their own piping systems that align perfectly with their project requirements, with the confidence that Strohm’s engineering department is a phone call away if they’d like to discuss specific projects. Its innovation is designed for efficiency, precision and peace of mind.”

TCP Designer offers features that streamline the complex process of pipeline design and engineering, including a user-friendly interface and robust computational capabilities.
