Problem

The installer traditionally used steel piping in installations on sites across Russia but had begun to find working with heavy steel pipes outdated. This is due to the time installation takes, the customer was looking to move towards the now industry standard of using plastic pipe for fuelling, combined with OPW shut-off valves.

Solution

The installer ALFA LEVL GRUP presented Tatneft with KPS piping as a modern solution to steel piping, Tatneft decided to upgrade to plastic conductive piping which requires the minimum possible number of welds for this and forthcoming installations thanks to the safe, easy-install solution it provides.
