Coated Carbon Steel Pipes offer Superior Corrosion Protection, according to FT Pipeline Systems
Lichfield, Staffordshire (PRWEB UK) 15 May 2014 -- Pipe and fitting surfaces are prepared by blasting and heating prior to the application of fusion bonded epoxy, adhesive and extruded, heat-bonded polyethylene. The exceptional properties of the 3 layer coating are based on the adhesion between the 3 layers. This provides excellent protection from impact and indentation and provides unrivalled corrosion protection. Projects for the 2012 Olympics which used this method of pipeline protection included the infrastructure of the Olympic Park in Stratford, the water mains replacement at Finsbury Park and the provision of the white water canoe centre.
FT Pipeline Systems recommends protecting the pipe joints with its range of Canusa heat shrink sleeves. They are heat activated / PE wraps for corrosion protection of all types of jointing method. The sleeves are quick to install as there is no need to prime or profile the pipe, making them extremely cost effective.
Duncan Frazer, Managing Director of FT Pipeline Systems said, "Once in the ground, a coated carbon steel water pipeline will provide an extended service life giving value for money and low whole life costs. The water utility has a secure, well-protected asset."
FT Pipeline Systems offers a complete range of steel water pipes and pipe fittings in an extensive range of diameters and joint types, along with field joint protection sleeves (Canusa).
