Tizapa Mine used to transport slurry in HDPE lines. This pipe suffered several failures on the joints, so did the thermo-fusions and the stub-ends as well. They determined that the failures were caused by small water hammers on the line. The Solution - Tizapa Mine decided to install Pexgol pipes for the following reasons:•Supplied in long lengths coils: 100 meters each, reducing possible failures in the joints.•It high resistance to water hammers.•Burst pressure: 3 times higher than nominal pressure.•Safe joints: They don’t deform neither detach caused by a pressure surge.•Quick installation: Coils were uncoiled in 1.5 work hours, without any complex equipment
