#20 Long Length HDPE Pipelines - Intakes & Outfall in Desalination Plants
1h 31m
In this episode, we sit down with Pedro Estevez from Pipelife to discuss the unique challenges and innovative solutions in using polyethylene pipes for desalination plants. Desalination is a critical process where water is taken from the sea through intake pipelines, but this process comes with its own set of hurdles.
The sea is not always a cooperative friend, short project timelines, inadequate onshore land availability, and other logistical issues can complicate the installation of pipelines. He highlights why long-length polyethylene pipes, sourced from Norway and transported worldwide, can be an excellent choice for certain projects.
Throughout our conversation, we dive into the technical and practical aspects of handling these pipes. Pedro shares valuable insights on what to consider when selecting and managing polyethylene pipes in desalination projects, offering his expertise on overcoming common obstacles.
