Pro Line has been instrumental in currently the largest ever pipeline rehabilitation project in the Middle East through its supply of UV-CIPP liners.
In a monumental achievement for both Pro Line and the UV-cured-in-place-pipe (UV-CIPP) industry, the company has successfully partnered with a local installation contractor for one of the largest UV-CIPP projects in the Middle East.
The project, which spanned over 1.2km of DN1100 to DN1900 presented a unique set of challenges, but Pro Line’s innovative solutions and expertise ultimately helped lead to the successful delivery.
As a testament to its partnership approach, Pro Line strategically partnered with the local installation contractor for supply of UV-CIPP liner as well as experienced on-site technicians.
The UV-CIPP liners supplied by Pro Line were designed to ensure a full structural relining of the host pipe as well as to meet the rigorous demands of the Middle East’s extreme environmental conditions.
The project’s success was heavily reliant on the precision of the liners, as well as the expertise of Pro Line’s team, ensuring that the large-diameter pipes were rehabilitated in a timely and efficient manner, minimising disruption to the surrounding areas and extending their life by a further 100 years.
As part of Pro Lines’ support to the local installation contractor, the team worked collaboratively with them around planning, delivery methodology and project management support.
Further to this, Pro Line also supplied three highly skilled on-site technicians for the training of local contractors and delivery crew to ensure the successful delivery of the project.
The UV relining project was undertaken in one of the most challenging environments in the Middle East, with ambient temperatures regularly exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.
These high temperatures presented a significant challenge, as the work environment can become gruelling for workers and technicians, as well as for the materials involved in the relining process.
The extreme heat posed risks to the integrity of the liner and could have potentially hindered the installation process if not carefully managed.
Moreover, the liners required for the project were considerably large and heavy, particularly when dealing with pipes ranging up to DN1900.
Handling and transporting these liners in such extreme conditions demanded a high level of logistics coordination, careful planning, and precise execution.
The weight of the liners, combined with the hot temperatures, could have led to difficulties in handling, positioning, and curing them correctly.
Pro Line’s UV-CIPP liner, however, proved to be a critical asset in addressing this challenge.
The UV curing process, which allows for rapid hardening of the resin within the liners, played a pivotal role in speeding up the overall project timeline.
The ability to deliver and cure the liners quickly allowed the project to stay on schedule, even under the pressure of tight deadlines.
Pro Line’s team of skilled technicians provided invaluable expertise throughout the project.
From overseeing the logistics of liner supply to ensuring correct installation techniques, Pro Line’s technicians played a vital role in ensuring that the liners were installed to the highest standards.
The technician’s experience and training allowed them to work seamlessly with local teams, solving any issues that arose and ensuring the project was completed on time and within budget.
Technical support is a key pillar of the Pro Line business and an area the business works closely with all clients across all projects.
The use of Pro Line’s UV-CIPP system not only ensured the timely rehabilitation of 1.2Kkm of large-diameter pipes but also helped extend the lifespan of these critical infrastructure components by a further 100 years, offering long-term solutions for the region’s aging pipeline network.
As a result, Pro Line’s UV-CIPP liners provided a durable, cost-effective, and efficient method for pipeline rehabilitation, reducing the need for expensive and disruptive excavation work.
By overcoming extreme environmental conditions, tight timelines, and complex logistical challenges, Pro Line has solidified its position as a leader in the UV-CIPP sector, demonstrating its commitment to providing innovative and high-quality solutions.
