Glass Reinforced Polyester Benefits
The ongoing rise of the world population cause growing demand for potable water, sewer systems and irrigation systems.
Pipe systems replacing increasingly old, ineffective and hazardous (such as Asbestos pipes) installations are required. They are also required to replace open ducts to prevent the loss of water due to evaporation.
The quick and easy installation in combination with high flexibility makes the GRP pipe an ideal product for these uses.
Due to excellent resistance against corrosion caused by many aggressive fluids, GRP systems are used in industrial / hydropower plants and power plants for cooling water and circulating water as well.
There are almost no limitations for the use of GRP pipe systems. These pipe systems can also be used for seawater intake and outfalls, desalination plants, refineries, rain storm water collectors and even in renovating corroded steel pipe systems.
The following tables shows some of the features and benefits of the GRP's pipe systems.
