Case Study: Large Diameter Water Pipeline Project

A water authority situated in Texas approached GPT industries to support a large-scale project with the aim of shifting underground well water to surface water. The project which spans 79.8 miles of pipeline, was mandated with reducing groundwater reduction to 60% surface water by 2025, and 80% by 2035.

Eliminating leakage and ensuring long term efficiency of the pipeline was of paramount importance if they wanted to meet the targets laid out. Flange connections were identified as key consideration due to the potential risks posed from leakage and corrosion.
