A landslide shifted a section of mountainside in Colombia, displacing an existing steel pipeline and causing failures in several places along the line. The ground kept moving, so a permanent steel repair wasn't realistic.
SoluForce provided a solution: 1,100 m (3,609 ft) of Heavy GT Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe (RTP or FCP), in this application operating at 90 bar (1,300 psi) for jet fuel service, installed in a matter of days by a crew of four trained at the SoluForce Academy.
The pipe was unrolled straight from the delivery coil, pulled under an existing road, and connected with Single Swage fittings. No heavy machinery, no large crew.
Four people, trained at the SoluForce Academy, got the line back in service while the terrain around it was still settling.
