Kwik-ZIP® HDXT 103 and HDXT 63’s were installed to facilitate the slip-lining of a number of crossings as part of the Cairns Water Security project.
The Cairns water security stage one project, aimed at securing ample drinking water supply for many years to come. Stage one of the project involves the construction of a water intake at the Mulgrave River, near the Desmond Trannore Bridge in Gordonvale; a water treatment plant and water reservoirs on council land; and a network of pipes to take raw water to the treatment plant and treated water from the plant to residents.
Once operational, the project is expected to provide approximately 6.4 gigalitres of extra water to the region each year, which is a quarter of Cairns’ current annual use. The $472 million project is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments and delivered in partnership with Cairns regional council.
kwik-ZIP® spacers have no metal parts and are made from Kwik-ZIP’s engineered thermoplastic blend with high flexural strength, high temperature resistance, low co-efficient of friction, abrasion resistance and outstanding chemical resistance.
Integrated rubber grip pads under collars to prevent slippage. kwik-ZIP® spacers load sharing suspension system allows heavy loads to be shared across multiple runners reducing point loading and increasing the overall load capacity of the spacer.
kwik-ZIP®’s large range of spacers caters for a wide range of ID / OD combinations as well as providing flexibility to deal with project alterations.
The simple and efficient installation process does not require any special tools nor is there any requirement to pre-wrap pipe.
All kwik-ZIP® spacers are designed to meet the requirements of WSAA Product Spec # 324 (Casing Spacers).
