PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
Start with the medium, pressure and installation
A piping system must suit the fluid, temperature, pressure and surrounding environment. Corrosion exposure and the route through the installation affect material selection, supports and joints.
We supply Future Pipe Industries systems for industrial, water, oil and gas, marine and offshore projects. Together, we clarify the operating basis before selecting the product series and scope.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Where the solution can be relevant
Industrial process plants
Process, cooling and utility piping in environments where chemical exposure and corrosion influence the choice of system.
Water and infrastructure
Water transfer, distribution and drainage, including above-ground and buried installations.
Marine and offshore
Seawater cooling, firewater and other piping duties, subject to the requirements of the chosen system and application.
Properties to consider in system selection
Chemical and corrosion resistance
The resin system is matched to the conveyed medium and exposure. Suitability must be confirmed for the actual service conditions.
Installation above or below ground
Route, anchoring, support positions and installation method form part of the engineering basis.
WHAT WE CAN DELIVER
Two system families from Future Pipe Industries
Wavistrong — epoxy-based pipe systems
Wavistrong uses glass fibre reinforcement and an epoxy resin system. Applications described by Future Pipe Industries include industrial process piping, firewater and marine systems. The range includes H2O, FR and Fibertubes; conductive and non-conductive versions are available. The specific series must be selected for the medium and operating conditions.
Fiberstrong — polyester and vinyl ester systems
Fiberstrong comprises glass fibre reinforced pipes and fittings based on polyester or vinyl ester resin. Applications include water distribution, drainage, seawater and cooling systems. Both buried and above-ground installations are described in the source material. Resin, joints and installation requirements are assessed for the project.
From requirements to an agreed delivery
01 — Operating basis
Clarify medium, pressure, temperature, route and applicable project requirements.
02 — Engineering support
Design recommendations, stress and surge analysis, and static or dynamic flexibility analysis as required.
03 — Interfaces
Assess anchors, buried-system thrust blocks and the function and location of above-ground pipe supports.
04 — Delivery documentation
Agree isometric drawings, calculations and installation documentation within the project scope.
PROJECT REFERENCE
Seawater dump caisson for Alvheim FPSO
Glassfiber Produkter designed, fabricated and supplied a GRE seawater dump caisson with a steel support structure to the Alvheim development in 2006. The documented scope included structural calculations, fabrication, measurement, lifting analysis and transport and installation procedures.
