FT Pipeline Systems and FT Ductile have been working together in supplying pipe to a major water scheme in the South East of England since April 2010. The FT Group has recently supplied a range of pipe diameters and materials including ductile iron and steel pipe, fittings and associated pipeline products.
The reservoir enhancement project involves re-routing 600mm, 900mm, 1000mm and 1200mm diameter pipelines (totalling nearly 4kms), and the associated works for several new pumping stations. Welded steel pipe has been chosen for the main pipe runs to remove the requirement for thrust blocks and to allow an epoxy internal lining to be used. External coating is the standard 3 layer polyethylene offered on all our systems.
This project has made use of FTPS' unique E Joint technology. This allows the welding process to be completed without damaging the internal lining, thereby removing the need to access the pipe.
