Abrasion- and corrosion-free long-life high pressure flexible pipelines for mining

The unique properties of the SoluForce system make it perfectly suitable for transporting ore, minerals, water, slurry, chemicals and other fluids in mining environments.

Large sums of money are invested each year in the maintenance and replacement of damaged pipelines. In general, the life time of conventional (steel) pipes are relatively short due to abrasion and corrosion, and often cannot cope with the challenging environment in which they are installed.

With a strong focus on reliability and sustainability, all SoluForce pipeline components can resist extreme loads and adhere to ridged safety standards typically found in mining operations. The SoluForce system is designed for static and dynamic operations and does not suffer from corrosion, resulting in an extremely reliable and safe solution. 

Due to the flexibility of the SoluForce pipe, the entire system can easily cope with the drastic environmental and climatic challenges and changes typically found in mining applications.

The SoluForce system is engineered to resist abrasion from solids as well as corrosion from fluids that are transported in mining applications. This means that the SoluForce system lasts much longer than alternatives. In fact, when operating within the specs of the pipe, maintenance work is not needed during the life time of the pipe (which can be up to 50 years), preventing down time and saving considerable time and investment.

With pipe lengths of up to 400 meter per coil, the SoluForce system can be installed quick and easy. Add the relative low cost and short delivery times, and you’ll understand why an increasing amount of mining operators choose SoluForce as their go-to pipeline solution.

SoluForce Flexible Composite Pipe (FCP also known as Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe or RTP) solutions are comprehensive yet economic. For example, you can opt for pipes-and-fittings only, or extend this with a range of services and support.

These include installation equipment for rent or purchase, and training of international and local workforces in the use of the SoluForce system. All so you can speed up installation and reduce your labour needs – safely. We can also assist you with project management and help you find the right people for your project. Or a combination of the above.

Because the SoluForce system can be completely non-metallic, including the fitting system, they are scaling- and corrosion free. All SoluForce pipe systems have a smooth bore, which ensures a much lower flow-resistance and improved flow capacity. Moreover, their resistance to third party interference, earthquakes and landslides has been extensively proven and verified.

All SoluForce solutions comply with international standards (including API and ISO). Visit our track record page for more information on various SoluForce applications.
