Pipeline Works
GEMC LLC is experienced in laying underground and above-ground pipelines in Abu Dhabi, including the installation of HDP pipe fitting. Currently, we’re working on the expanded water pipeline project in Abu Dhabi’s Central Business District. To ensure crew safety and minimize damage to existing underground utilities, we take extra care during pipeline installation. We have an exemplary safety track record to date, with negligible exposure to unforeseen liabilities.
What Does Pipeline Work Entail?
HDP pipe fitting are primarily used for transporting various fluids, including oil, water, and gas, along with sewage, through pipelines. People also use pipelines for utilities, including fiber optics, TV/phone cables, and electricity. Different pipelines are used for different application as follows:–
Concrete or plastic Pipes – Best suited for water supply & drainage due to their ability to withstand heavy load, resistance to chemical attack, and durability.
Asbestos cement pipes –Best suited for wastewater & stormwater drainage. Asbestos cement pipes have good resistance to hydrogen sulfide corrosion and aggressive soils as it does not have reinforcement steel and reduce operating costs due to low friction factors.
Steel pipes – Best suited for transporting oil & gas from the main field to storage tanks, refineries, and retail outlets. The larger ones are usually laid above ground, but the smaller pipes are usually laid underground. These pipes can withstand heavy loads & pressure build-up.
Underground pipeline laying work involves
When excavating an open trench to our client’s specifications, we either use manual or mechanical methods. Next, we lay and connect the pipes with appropriate seals, while ensuring that the trench remains free from water build-up. Finally, we support and protect all structures, conduits, poles, and wires that are adjacent to the work.
Back-filling entails refilling the excavated trench with soil, aggregate, and rocks which are then watered & compacted either with a compactor or even manually to the specification of the client. If the surface area is solid concrete then concrete is poured to attain the original finish or in the case of paved surfaced, interlocking.
