A BRUGG GROUP COMPANY
Professional joint installation and re-insulation are essential for the long-term performance of district heating pipe systems. When installing PREMANT pre-insulated pipes with plastic casing, the individual pipe components are joined together on site. Once the steel service pipes have been welded, the joints must be thermally insulated and permanently sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
BRUGG Pipes provides professional joint installation and re-insulation services carried out by qualified joint installers certified in accordance with AGFW FW 603. This ensures permanently watertight and reliably insulated pipe joints.
PREMANT district heating pipes are factory-fitted with high-quality thermal insulation made of rigid polyurethane foam (PUR). At the pipe joints, this insulation is interrupted during installation and must be professionally reinstated after the service pipes have been welded together.
Professional re-insulation ensures reliable thermal insulation at the pipe joints. This minimises heat loss and maintains the energy efficiency of the entire district heating network.
Equally important is the permanent sealing of the joint casing. It protects the thermal insulation of the district heating pipe against moisture ingress and makes a significant contribution to the operational reliability and service life of the pipe system.
The quality of a pre-insulated pipe system with plastic casing depends not only on the pipe components used, but also on the professional installation of the pipe joints.
Depending on the joint system used, installation includes preparing the pipe ends, connecting the monitoring wires, installing and sealing the joint casing, and reinstating the thermal insulation in the joint area.
Our experienced installers are familiar with the requirements of the PREMANT district heating pipe system and carry out re-insulation work in accordance with the relevant system specifications and installation instructions.
