Project Highlights:

Pipes for Mines industry

PEXGOL in Copper Mine

2008

Project challenges:

1. Open copper mine with extreme temperatures ranging

from –20° to +40°c. High pressure and water hammer (impossible conditions for other type of pipes).

2. A need to change positions, after a period of time, between the pipes of class 24 and class 15. The distance between the two pipes is 10 kms.

The Solution:

Pexgol pipe diameter 110 mms class 15, each unit of

300 meters without connections.

The pipes were dragged a distance of 10 kms and were assembled again without any damage being caused by the dragging. .
