Project: Fitzroy to Gladstone (F2G) Pipeline
Location: Central Queensland
Carrier Size: 1067mm OD SINTAKOTE® Steel MSCL
Casing Size: 1290mm ID RCJP casing
Run Length: 4 x crossings (26M, 107m, 135m & 16m)
Spacer Model: HDX-90 (90mm high)
Kwik-ZIP customers GCE Contractors utilised Kwik-ZIP HDX-90 spacers to facilitate the slip-lining of a 1067mm OD SINTAKOTE® MSCL carrier pipe into a 1290mm ID RCJP casing over four crossings including one under the Capricorn Highway.
“The HDX 90 really proved itself in this situation under heavy scrutiny”. Jesse Hooper – Tunnelling Operations Manager – GCE Contractors Pty Ltd.
The HDX’s unique load sharing design maximizes the load bearing capacity of each runner and reduces point loading. The simple and efficient installation process does not require any special tools.
The fusion-bonded coating on Sintakote® pipes is crucial for corrosion prevention and must stay undamaged to work effectively. Kwik-ZIP spacers not only provide protection but also feature integrated rubber grip pads, preventing slippage and preserving the coating’s integrity.Top of Form
