grp pipes: CM PROCESS pipes

Quality is ensured through a constant QA program on incoming raw material through production and process control and of finished products. Raw materials are developed together with the raw material manufacturers to maximise the long term properties of the products.

Standard and special fittings are manufactured and supplied to suit all diameter, pressure and stiffness classes.

The most commonly used joint is the well proven sleeve joint and in addition the pipes are supplied with lock or butt strap joints for restrained pipe designs. The joints ensures a fast and safe installation process.

The pipes are manufactured in a diameter range from DN700 to DN2600 and in pressure classes according to AWWA C-950 up to 32 bar (kgs). Any stiffness class class is manufactured including the standard SN2500, SN5000 and SN10000.

The PLC controlled manufacturing process gives a very high level of control of raw material distribution and curing. It is an industrial process that ensures that the quality is repeated in every pipe.

Due to the cost advantages of the process in long manufacturing runs, the pipes are mainly used for larger diameter water transmission projects, irrigation, power and desal plants and similar. The pipes are however equally suited for sewers and industrial applications.

The Continuous Mandrel process takes its name from that the pipes are manufactured on an endless re-forming mandrel and the pipe length is only limited by transport restrictions.
