| Project: | Alkimos SDP Yanchep Rail Corridor |
| Carrier Size: | 914mm & 1422 SINTAKOTE® Steel MSCL |
| Casing Size: | 1399 & 1708mm RCJP |
| Run Length: | 2 x runs – 56m each |
| Spacer Model: | HDXT-103 (103mm high) with Load Inserts (LI-XT-103) |
A key Kwik-ZIP customer recently utilised Kwik-ZIP HDXT-103 spacers with kwik-ZIP load inserts to facilitate the slip-lining of a 914mm SINTAKOTE® Steel MSCL carrier pipe into a 1399mm ID RCJP casing and a 1422mm SINTAKOTE® Steel MSCL carrier pipe into a 1708mm ID RCJP casing for a rail crossing in Yanchep.
This installation was part of the of the larger Water Corporation Alkimos Seawater Desalination Plant Project which will ultimately supply up to 50 billion litres of clean, safe drinking water to millions of Western Australians each year.
Whilst this installation was fully grouted, the HDXT spacers and Load Inserts would adequately support the pipes and water for the life of the installation.
The HDXT’s unique load sharing design maximizes the load bearing capacity of each runner and reduces point loading.
HDXT load inserts are designed to be used with the Kwik-ZIP HDXT casing spacers to provide additional load capacity for very heavy applications or where high point loadings on one runner are experienced. They also allow HDXT spacers to continue to carry heavy loads at elevated temperatures.
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
