INFRAPIPE is an independent NZ manufacturer that began supplying fully certified flexible pipes and tanks to the market in 2022. Using their brand-new European KRAH machine in Auckland they can quickly produce tanks up to 3.2m in diameter, the largest in Australasia, ideal for underground fire supply.
VOLUMES
Tanks can be made to any size by easily and quickly joining sections [on site] that are up to 15m long (a 2.5m ID section 12m long only weighs 6 tonnes for instance). Tanks can be joined in any fashion creating U, L, E, F, O or T shaped tanks (for instance) allowing the designer to make the best use of space. Minimum cover is typically 700mm, typical fall 1%.
