The Protecta-Line Solution
Protecta-Line prevents the tainting that can be caused by throughwall permeation of volatile low molecular weight species and compounds. It also prevents any other chemicals that might be present in the ground from permeating into its wall and compromising the long-term strength.
Protecta-Line is a revolutionary, multi-layered, co-extruded polyethylene barrier pipe for conveying drinking water in contaminated ground. The double bonded construction incorporates an impermeable metallic barrier wrapped onto a standard central core of PE80 or PE100 (Excel) pipe conforming to BS 6572 or WIS 4-32-17/BS EN 12201.
Protecta-Line is a three layer composite pipe available in PE sizes from 25mm to 180mm:
- the internal standard PE pipe for carrying the water
- an aluminium layer to stop the ingress of contaminants
- an outer polyethylene protection layer
With WRAS and DWI approval there can be total peace of mind that Protecta-Line provides the highest standards of safety demanded by water companies and other customers plus national and local legislation. This peace of mind is enhanced by all the installation benefits of conventional PE pipe - lightweight, flexible material that is fast and easy to install. With increasing development of brownfield sites and the clear need for developers to optimise water quality,
Protecta-Line is by far the most effective and comprehensive barrier pipeline system for distribution of drinking water.
