ATE Boksburg Primus Line Drinking and Sprinkler Water Rehabilitation
Client problem and challenges:
The main pipeline water supply at ATE was found to lose between 20-30000 litres of water per night due to numerous pinhole leaks and the pipe being more than 40 years old and in a very bad overall condition.
The pipeline is running from the main factory gate under the truck weighbridge for 44m turning right at a 45 degrees angle for 15m then left at 30 degree angle toward the factory for 16m.
Excavating to replace and installing a new pipeline would have meant days possibly weeks of no water and the added expenses of new pipeline, excavation, installation times etc.
Solution:
Rescue Rod Pty Ltd presented to the Client the new Primus Line technology which can rehabilitate a pipeline without obstructing the busy factory traffic, the collecting and deliveries from the warehouse and the weighbridge usage. Primus Line is apart from other technologies as the liner can be used in a pipeline with bends and with quick insertion times and fast re-commissioning. Added to the surface known challenges when exposed the water pipeline was next to and very close to storm water pipelines which added to space restrictions and confirmed that the best solution was lining with Primus Line and not installing a new pipeline.
Project details:
Total Meters: 75m with 2 bends. Liner diameter: 150mm
Installation time 3 working days due to client requirements with regards to access of the trucks in the driveway.
