A conventional pre-insulated steel pipe system was originally planned for a new heating pipe installation for KERKSTOEL in Grobbendonk, Belgium, Europe. Working with local partner Carnoy, an alternative was evaluated to simplify installation and shorten construction time.
Flexible pipe system replaces conventional steel pipe design
The project used the flexible ARMOPEX pipe system from BRUGG Pipes. ARMOPEX UNO APX 125/182 in dimension DN 100 was selected, with a pressure rating of approximately 175 psi.
The flexible pipe system allowed the heating pipe to be installed without on-site welding or underground connections. This reduced installation work and potential weak points in the pipe network.
Installation completed in just two days
Carnoy handled the feasibility assessment and technical planning and provided on-site assistance to the customer. Since this was the partner's first ARMOPEX project, BRUGG Pipes also provided technical support throughout the installation.
The pipe was installed in August 2026, and the work was completed in just two days.
