Key Facts
- Pipe Size: 2500 ID
- Product Type: Spiral wound, covered profile pipe.
- Geographical location: Ports of Auckland, New Zealand
- Material: High density polyethylene
Solutions
- Due to INFRAPIPE™ high-quality fabrication team and the welding ability of HDPE material, a 90-degree bend was created to suit the existing pipeline.
- INFRAPIPE™ technology makes our spiral wound pipes much lighter than GRP alternatives and up to 90% lighter than concrete.
Benefits
- Our pipes have an asset life in excess of 100 years.
- Low environmental impact due to the low energy consumption and ease of installation.
- HDPE pipes have the advantage of having good elasticity compared to grp pipes, allowing them to bend more easily.
