The Challenge

Zuccardi Winery, internationally acclaimed for its innovation and quality in wine production, needed to implement a potable water transport line to supply both consumption and viniﬁcation processes. The challenge was to connect the storage tanks—located in a separate building—to the main plant through a system that ensured a fast, safe, and efﬁcient installation. Additionally, the solution had to minimize leakage risks while optimizing installation time and costs.

The terrain conditions called for a reliable piping system that did not require a sand bed for burial and could be handled easily, considering operational and space constraints around the winery.

The Solution

Zuccardi selected 90 mm Pexgol class 15 pipes for the project. This decision was based on Pexgol’s key advantages, including:

Rapid Installation: The 120 meters of pipe were uncoiled and laid out in just 20 minutes.
Fewer Joints: Thanks to the long-length coil format, no joints were needed along the run, signiﬁcantly reducing leakage risks and associated costs.
Easy Handling: The lightweight material enabled efﬁcient transport and installation, even under limited operational conditions.
Strength and Adaptability: The pipe required no sand bed for burial, simplifying the installation process.

The ﬁnal installation was carried out two days after trench preparation and took only 2 hours, including burial and backﬁlling. Both ends of the pipeline were connected using ﬂanged couplings to ensure system integrity.
