GRE/glassfiber reinforced pipe systems seem great, but it have to be so difficult?
Composites can offer many advantages in corrosion-sensitive applications.
But like all engineering materials they require specialized knowledge and experience to specify, design and install to guarantee optimum performance and enjoy all the advantages.
GRE/GRP is a very broad family name, covering a wide range of products, all with specific properties.
The term ‘GRP’ is as wide as the term ‘Metal’: carbon steel is different from super-duplex...
Glass fiber Reinforced Plastic pipe systems essential subjects:
- Proper material selection and specification based on process details and expectations
- Engineering and system design, based on the correct properties against the correct requirements
- Qualification of system components: is the product suitable for the job
- Quality control, not only when manufacturing the products, but also during installation
- Installation: ensuring the qualified properties, knowing it works as it was designed and with sufficient safety margin.
What we can do to help:
- Offer a knowledgeable consultant/inspector/engineer/source of information during engineering, design, installation, operation
- Provide training of engineers, supervisors, jointers
- Write a tailor-made project specs and ITP
- Drive the production and installation quality to the required level and control this. No shortcuts: what is promised must be met, not only in the office, also in the field
- Independent testing (or organize it)
- Offer a valuable source of information on all aspects of glass fiber reinforced plastics, feasibility, (im)possibilities, limitations, challenges, opportunities etc.
