Pipelines
Our pipe layers are well-trained and experienced in all types of pipeline construction including PVC, HDPE, asbestos cement, steel, and GRP.
FCE has completed numerous reticulation projects and gained in-depth knowledge in the operation and installation of a wide range of applications. Our expertise in this field range from water and sewer pipelines to the rehabilitation of existing reticulation systems, to bulk township and domestic infrastructural services.
A few of our notable pipeline projects include:
- Installation of twin 550mm welded HDPE pipes under the Embokodweni River. This included welding the pipes, dewatering the river bed and diverting the river, handling and laying a continuous 300m length of pipe with concrete anchors all in a very short period of time.
- Installation of a 700m length of 500mm diameter HDPE pipe underneath Lake Cubhu. The actual installation procedure of the pipe with concrete anchors took 2 days.
- Installation, commssioning and testing of 12km of 400mm to 600mm diameter GRP pipeline.
