Hopefully it never happens. But if it does, your fire
extinguishing system should work perfectly. So your fire mains should
be absolutely reliable and meet the highest standards. Be able to withstand
high temperatures, high pressures and corrosive elements.
A lot of requirements. But there is a system that meets them all: Wavestrong
GRP
Wavistrong fire mains are available in diameters of 25 mm (1") up to
and including 1200 mm (48"). Wavistrong is made of glass reinforced
epoxy. A material that is completely corrosion resistant, strong, lightweight,
with an extremely long life span. Wavistrong fire mains can be installed
quickly with low installation cost, in a reliable way and without using
equipment causing fire risks. In addition costly cathodic protection
is superfluous. Wavistrong is not conductive and will therefore not
absorb electrical currents.
INDUSTRIAL pipe systems have to meet high standards of performance.
Temperature, pressure, chemical resistance, installation and maintenance
are crucial factors that effect material choice. In many cases Wavistrong
Glassfibre reinforced pipe systems are the best choice. They are durable,
light weight, strong and completely corrosion resistant.
The application areas are numerous such as sea water intake lines,
cooling water lines, fire mains and various applications for offshore
usage.
Other applications include sewerage, desalination plants, oil field
and mining operations, heating and cooling lines and petrochemical installations.
Corrosion is a dangerous enemy to any pipe system. It may cause safety
risks, break-downs, delay and environmental pollution. In addition maintenance
and repair can put a company to great expenses.
Wavistrong pipe systems can solve all these problems. It can withstand
highly aggressive liquids and soil conditions and hardly needs maintenance.
Depending on the application, it has a lifespan of up to 50 years and
it can cope with high temperatures and pressures. The material is light
and easy to install, for both above and below ground applications. Thanks
to the combination of corrosion resistance and proven, reliable joining
techniques, Wavistrong pipe systems offer optimum protection to the
environment. |
