 <\/p>\n

For the nuclear sector, we supplied and installed Bondstrand pipes in the cooling circuit of a nuclear power plant. These high-quality glass fibre reinforced epoxy (GRE) pipes meet the stringent requirements of ASME Code Case N-155-2<\/em> and play a crucial role in system safety and efficiency. The cooling circuit transports water to the nuclear power plant and provides cooling for the reactor during maintenance shutdowns (every 18 months) or in case of an emergency shutdown.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The system was designed taking into account factors such as allowable stress due to weight, thermal expansion, and earthquake calculations. Based on these calculations, a minimum pipe wall thickness was established to ensure the system functions optimally under all conditions. Thanks to the corrosion resistance and long service life of Bondstrand pipes, they offer a durable and low-maintenance solution for this essential application.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to our broad expertise, Amerplastics offers the possibility to engineer complete plastic piping systems in-house. Based on layout drawings, the plastic pipes are drawn out in detail by our draftsmen and\/or work planners before being prefabricated in our plastics workshop. On-site installation is ultimately carried out by certified pipe fitters and engineers based on over 50 years of experience within our organisation.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
