ViewWater Delivery and Distribution
Polypipe provides innovative plastic piping solutions for Water delivery and distribution for mining operations, mining and mineral processing cannot take place without water and getting water to and from the mine is critical for it to operate effectively.
Polypipe’s solutions for water supply pipework include:
- Chemical and corrosion resistant pressure systems
- Large and small diameter pressure pipes
Water can be sourced from numerous locations including local bore holes through to desalination plants, these could also be situated hundreds of miles away. Once the water is contained this can then distributed to areas around the mine.
