HDPE Pipe Liner Installation

Pexmart lined pipe systems is a multinational company located in Pretoria, South Africa, specializing in pipeline construction, internal HDPE pipe lining, pipe rehabilitation and plastic pipe systems.

Pexmart senior management group brings together a wealth of collective experience in Plastic extrusion and pipeline construction, with industry expertise in costing, planning and project management. Our management group is well supported by a dedicated and skilled administration team and our directors play an active role in all areas of the business. Our commitment to our staff means we strive to attract and retain experienced personnel to facilitate balanced growth and promote a culture of continuous improvement.

Pexmart lined pipe systems are ideal for corrosive and abrasive products such as acid water, crude oil, slurry, wet gas, raffinate and effluent. HDPE liner provides old or new steel pipes with greater strength and protection from erosion and corrosion by closing off the steel pipe inside walls from the flow.

Performance benefits of HDPE combined with the strength of steel

Pexmart lined pipe systems has refined the process of lining steel pipelines with high density polyethylene liners to the extent that any diameter of pipe can be lined in the workshop or on site.

lined pipe system applications

PEXMART lined pipe systems has a number of applications

  • Manufacture and line new abrasion pipelines.
  • Repair and rehabilitate old existing abrasion pipelines.
  • HDPE lined fittings (Bends, Tees, laterals, etc.).
  • Manufacture pipelines for high and low pressure ratings.
  • Continuous lining of pipelines (flangeless in between) from 100m to 1000m.

In all these application instances the HDPE liner provides the new or old steel pipe with greater strength and protection from erosion and corrosion by closing off the steel pipe internal walls from the flow. The smooth interior of the HDPE liner also reduces resistance and friction, resulting in superior fluid flow.

HDPE lined fittings

Pexmart lined pipe systems is SABS approved and has successfully passed all ASTM F1545 requirements. All our HDPE lined fittings are pressure tested at 1.5 times our customer’s service pressure, ensuring world-class performance.

Steel Pipeline Construction and Welding – ASTM-F-1545

Correct welding quality and alignment are crucial to avoid defects during the HDPE lining process. Pexmart uses state-of-the-art equipment and guidelines to ensure flawless welding.

HDPE continuous butt welding

Butt Welding

HDPE Continuous Butt Welding

The thermal butt fusion method is critical to the continuous lining process. It is an economical and fast way to deliver a complete, leak-proof HDPE pipe system, with joints as strong as the pipe itself. Our technicians use high-tech welding machines (Widos and Rothenberger) to maximize efficiency and safety.

Continuous HDPE Lining System

This system provides a continuous HDPE liner that protects carbon steel pipelines from corrosive elements while reducing friction and operating pressures. Custom extruded to exact dimensions, the liner is installed using a specialized folding machine and winch system, then expanded with compressed air to ensure a tight seal.

Pipeline Pre-commissioning and Commissioning

Before service, pipelines undergo rigorous pre-commissioning steps such as cleaning, torque inspections, CCTV inspections, and pressure testing. Pexmart’s expertise ensures that every pipeline meets required standards.
