Borouge, Utico partner on longest water transmission pipeline
Borouge has partnered with Utico FZC, a water management and treatment solutions provider in carrying out the largest (polyethylene) PE100 water transmission pipeline project in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The highlight of the joint project was made as part of Borouge’s participation at Big 5, the international building and construction tradeshow, being held in Dubai from 26-29 November 2017.
Borouge provided Utico, the largest private utility company in the region, with a group of its creative polyethylene solutions to make pipes for the company’s water transmission pipeline project connecting four emirates Ras Al Khaimah, Um Al Quwain, Ajman and Sharjah.
The 55km pipeline, which ranges in size from 1,200mm to1,400mm diameter, has a peak capacity of 50MIGD and will eventually serve up to 900,000 people.
Utico chose Borouge’s BorSafe HE3490-LS and HE3490-LS-H grades for the production of their pipeline, which is both the longest and largest diameter PE100 water transmission pipeline in the region.
Borouge’s PP-R, PE-RT, PE100 and PP-B grades
Borouge demonstrated its Borstar RA140E which is an innovative PP-R grade, together with its new generation PE-RT grade Borstar HE3466RT, both for the hot and cold water market, alongside its established BorSafe and BorECO BA212E PP-B raw materials used in manufacturing indoor drainage pipelines. Being non-metallic, these corrosion-resistant materials are used to make plastic pipes that are rapidly replacing metal ones in buildings throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East, providing long maintenance-free operation.
