Project: Upper South Creek Treated Water Main
Carrier Size: 914mm SINTAKOTE® Steel MSCL
Casing Size: 1200mm RCJP
Run Length:105m
Spacer Model: HDXT-103 (103mm high)
Kwik-ZIP customers Jonishan recently utilised Kwik-ZIP HDXT-103 spacers to facilitate the slip-lining of a 914mm SINTAKOTE® Steel MSCL carrier pipe into a 1200mm ID RCJP casing for the Upper South Creek Treated Water Main.
This installation was part of the larger Upper South Creek Project. This project was implemented to improve environmental flows by transferring treated water from the new Advanced Water Recycling Centre (‘AWRC’) to local waterways. The AWRC and USC Pipelines is Sydney Water’s largest infrastructure investment in Western Sydney.
Whilst this installation was fully grouted, the HDXT spacers would adequately support the pipe and water for the life of the installation (pipe weight – 292kg/m empty / 880kg/m full).
“The Kwik-Zip spacers were very simple and easy to install” – Malvin Malicdem – Project Engineer – Jonishan
The HDXT’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
Kwik-ZIP spacers have no metal parts and are made from Kwik-ZIP’s engineered thermoplastic blend that is flexible, extremely tough and has a low co-efficient of friction.
Kwik-ZIP’s large range of spacers caters for a wide range of carrier / casing pipe size combinations as well as providing flexibility to deal with project alterations. For further information on kwik-ZIP products and to discuss your specific project requirements please contact us
