Concrete Weight Coating with Wasco
Wasco Coatings Europe is tasked with concrete weight coating and storing about 200,000 pipes for the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline. Over half of them will be coated at its logistics hub in the port of HaminaKotka, Finland. The rest will be treated at the company’s facilities in Mukran, Germany. In the video, you'll get an insight into the economic benefits of the project for these regions as well as a look at the production process.

Pipe Transport from Mülheim to Mukran
Nord Stream 2 relies on low-carbon rail transport to carry its 12-tonne, 12-meter-long steel pipes to the ports where they will be concrete weight-coated. To ensure timely deliveries from the pipe mill in Mülheim an der Ruhr to the port of Mukran, Germany, two trains operated by DB Cargo AG have been making the journey every single day since October 2016. It takes over 11 hours and several experienced drivers to deliver each trainload of pipes to Mukran in perfect condition.
