FORTIUSPIPE does not have any special requirements to a bed plate, however in order to prevent outer sheath damages the areas contacting the pipe should not have sharp stones or bulges. Passages under the road as a rule go inside a host metal pipe.

Above-ground pipe-laying

Using method of direct laying it is possible to set up multiple lines in a quick and effective way. Usually during laying there is no need in any supports and ramps which are used with steel pipes.

However, FORTIUSPIPE can be installed in existing pipeline routes using these constructions.

Relining

FORTIUSPIPE can be installed inside of old pipes of bigger diameter by pulling the flexible composite pipeline through the opening the existing one. There is a successful experience of pulling one segment of the pipe with the length up to 3 km. 

The main restriction is the length of a guide pipe, which should be preliminary pulled through the pipeline to be relined.

Offshore

FORTIUSPIPE subsea version with extra reinforcement weight can be installed offshore on the sea, lakes, rivers, etc. The pipe design and structure offers an easy installation and good bottom stability.
