Large-Bore Manifold Systems

STEP’s large-bore system significantly reduces leak and spill potential with fewer connection points — from hundreds of connections to approximately 30. It also improves operational efficiencies, reducing time on location and indirectly reducing fuel consumption and related emissions.

On a recent client project involving two pads and 31 pumping days, our large-bore system delivered:

• 50% fewer iron connections, reducing potential leak sources and potential of injury during set-up and disassembly
• 66% reduction in iron restraints, providing fewer manual installation/removal hazards and safety hazard points
• 30% reduction in hoses and hose connections, reducing potential leak or failure points and manual handling risks
• 50% reduction of rig-in time, reducing worker fatigue and physical stress, and allowing for more maintenance time and safety preparation
