PE pipes become the best choice for marine projects
PE pipes have been widely used in marine applications since the early 1960s. Under-river and sub-lake fluid transfer, fluid discharge and water intake for desalination plants and power plant cooling towers are the most widespread applications for PE pipes at sea. In addition, PE pipes are also used as temporary pipes floating on the water and can also be installed in swamps.
Durability, long service life, high strength and innovative cost-effective methods that facilitate pipeline installation are the main reasons why PE pipes are used in offshore applications.
Reliable butt fusion systems for joining PE pipes are available with a variety of mechanical accessories, allowing design engineers to select leak-free joining systems. The connection system in turn allows long pipes to be installed by floating and submerging. There are several factors that make PE pipes the best choice for marine projects, some of which are:
High resistance to erosion and corrosion
Flexibility and good bending radius
Light weight and can float in sea water
Easy to transport and install
