Vertical Drain in Underground Mine

The client decided to install 800 m of Pexgol pipes in three di erent sizes:
Pexgol 160 mm (6”) Class 15, 160 mm (6”) Class 19 and 200 mm (8”) Class 26.7.
The installation was very simple:

• Lifting was carried out in the ventilation chimney.
• Mechanical connections were used that did not require special tools for installation.
• In the upper area the pipes were placed on supports provided by the mining company.

Pexgol was selected due to its capabilities:

• Possibility of supply in long lengths minimizing the connections to only 4.
• Ability to withstand the drag of more than 5 km from outside to the final assembly point inside the underground mine.
• Ability to withstand creep involved in vertical mounting of 150 meters.
