Project Overview
Hambaker Pipelines can supply FM approved pipes and fittings for the fire main and process sectors Fire main valve and ductile iron re-location. British Airways contracted Adenstar Developments to re-locate a fire main pipeline. Black external coated pipes to conform to BS545 standard were specified.
The black pipes are used for identification (fire main) purposes at Heathrow Airport. The pipework also had to be restraint in areas to withhold surges in pressure.
Solution
The delivery schedule was critical and had to work to a strict delivery schedule. Hambaker Pipelines supplied black factory-applied external coated pipes and anchored gaskets for end-load capabilities.
A manufacturing and delivery schedule was identified to the strict schedule to coordinate with a site installation program which was carried out successfully.
Hambaker Pipelines can supply FM (Factory Mutual) approved pipes and fittings and a range of specialized pipe coatings for the fire main and process sectors. From diameters 80mm to 2000mm, ductile iron socket spigot pipes, fabricated pipes, ductile iron fittings, valves, hydrants, couplings, flanged adaptors, and bespoke products.
