Haydale公司向英國電網提供新型通用過渡管道密封系統
Haydale已經向英國電網生產并交付了8套通用過渡件密封系統，并在今后6年中收到了60份對此感興趣的聲明。
Haydale公司向英國電網提供新型通用過渡管道密封系統
這種重量輕、可移動的復合一般過渡段(GTP)用于密封管道周圍的管道，管道通過混凝土墻，如檢查坑，跨越包括天然氣、水、石油和天然氣在內的多種公用設施。這允許時間和成本效益的檢查和修理管道過渡.
這是個商業訂單，生產和交付了8個GTP機組，用于跨越英國輸氣網絡上的兩個電網天然氣場址的過渡。
電網(National Grid)的高級土木工程師保羅·奧格登(Paul Ogden)表示：“在接下來的6年里，可能會有多達60臺這樣的設備安裝在輸電系統中，這將大大提高安全性，并在未來5至10年內節省500萬英鎊，此外還會節省更多資金。”
使用目前的澆鑄混凝土方法證明，隨著時間的推移，密封件的降解成本很高，允許地下水和細物質通過過渡，可能對管道及其涂層造成損害。檢查和更換也是時間和人力密集型，增加了安全措施，增加使用重型機械現場。
Haydale的GTP輕量級系統是通過他們的創新倡議與電網聯合開發的。GTP在管道周圍提供長達50年的有效密封，并允許管道過渡由兩人工作人員進行檢查，而不需要挖掘、拆除或提升設備。
在美國紐約舉行的電網2016年主席獎上，該系統獲得了“功勛獎”。
Haydale復合材料公司董事總經理基思·布羅德本特評論說：
“可移動的復合GTP系統在安全和效率方面向前邁進了一大步，解決了公用事業公司面臨的一個主要問題。Haydale很高興找到了一個解決方案，并正在與電網合作，以確保個完全安裝并在英國使用。有了這樣一項新的、有利的創新，我們的GTP系統從研究和開發向商業化迅速發展，這一點也就不足為奇了。我們期待著與更多的公用事業公司合作。“

Haydale has produced and delivered 8 General Transition Piece Sealing Systems to National Grid UK, and has received an expression of interest for a further 60 over the next 6 years.
Haydale delivers novel general transition pipe sealing system to National Grid UK
This light weight, removeable composite General Transition Piece (GTP) is used for sealing around pipelines wher they pass through concrete walls, such as inspection pits, across a multitude of utilities including gas, water and oil and gas. This allows for time and cost-effective inspection and repair at pipe transitions.
This first commercial order has seen production and delivery of 8 GTP units for transitions across two National Grid Gas sites on the UK gas transmission network.
Paul Ogden, a Senior Civil Engineer with National Grid says, “During the next 6 years, up to 60 of these units are likely to be installed in the National Transmission System and will significantly improve safety as well as creating savings of up to 5 million in the next five to ten years, with further savings beyond that."
GTP installed
Using the current cast concrete method proves costly as seals degrade over time, allowing ground-water and fine material to flow through the transition, potentially causing damage to the pipe and its coating. Inspection and replacement is also time and labour intensive with added safety measures caused through increased use of heavy machinery on-site.
Haydale’s GTP light weight system has been jointly developed with National Grid via their innovation initiative. The GTP provides effective sealing around the pipe for up to 50 years, and allows pipe transitions to be inspected by a two-man crew, without the need for excavation, demolition, or lifting equipment.
The system was given an ‘Award of Merit’ at National Grid’s 2016 Chairman’s Award, held in New York, USA.
Keith Broadbent, Managing Director Composites at Haydale, commented:
“The removable composite GTP system is a huge step forward in safety and efficiency, solving a major problem faced by utility providers. Haydale is pleased to have found a solution and is working alongside National Grid to see the first fully installed and in use in the UK. With such a novel, advantageous innovation, it is not surprising to see our GTP system move from research and development to commercialisation so quickly. We look forward to working with more utilities companies, globally.”
