VJ Couplings Used In Major Pipeline in Oman
Posted on 15th Nov 2013
Viking Johnson’s MaxiDaptors, QuickFit Flange Adaptors and Dismantling Joints have been chosen for the new 35km water transmission line, which is being installed to prevent water shortages in Oman.
The MaxiDaptors (up to DN300), QuickFit Flange Adaptors (up to DN200) and Dismantling Joints (up to DN1600) have been supplied to the Public Authority for Electricity and Water (PAEW) and will be used on the new water transmission line which runs from the Ghubrah Desalination Plant to Muscat in Oman through some of the most difficult terrains of Muscat. This new pipeline is a key infrastructure support for Muscat’s growing water needs.
The water will be distributed to six emergency water reservoirs in Qurum, Ruwi, Wadi al Kabir and Wattayah, to act as a reserve supply preventing shortages of water which occur quite frequently from disruptions in the primary network.
The project is valued at around 30 million Rials and involves Micro-tunneling technology, which is a trenchless pipeline construction technology used to build pipelines of large diameter with fewer disturbances to the public in comparison to the open cut method.
Viking Johnson was selected for this prestigious project due to their high quality products and excellent delivery time of two and a half months.
