Arcerlor Mittal required to dewater their open cast mine, due to the contamination produced by the low pH levels of the water. The open cast was 220 meters depth with an 80° slope. From the client point of view, installing a regular pipe would involve doing more than 22 joints, on a harsh ground that was also dangerous for the people that work there. In addition, a regular pipe might need to be supported every 12 meters so it will not collapse due to its own weight. The Solution - Pexpol pipes were the optimal solution for this project, because it can be supplied in long lengths coils that makes the whole installation easier. Pexgol is also known for its stress resistance.
