For every drop counts - NORMA Group pipe connectors in use all over the world
Maintal, Germany, 22 March 2013
The pipe couplings of NORMA Group, a global market and technology leader for engineered joining technology, are used in building and infrastructure projects all over the world. The connector products reliably join water supply pipes and drains - whether in sewage works, in hotels or at airports. “With our pipe connectors, we contribute to making the water cycle work and ensure that not a single drop of this vital resource gets lost,” says Bernd Kleinhens, board member and responsible for business development at NORMA Group. “Our clients trust in the reliability of our product solutions because they contribute to the success of their investment projects.”
Clean water for Tunisia’s capital
Tunisia’s biggest sewage works in Choutrana near the capital are being upgraded in order to supply Tunis’ growing population with tap water. As part of this effort, 4.5 kilometres of new pipes are installed overall to provide the new activated sludge tanks with compressed air. The compressed air pipes are connected with a total of 600 NORMACONNECT pipe connectors with diameters of between 100 and 900 millimetres. They not only withstand pressures of up to 10 bar, they also make assembly easy and quick.
Indonesian luxury hotel with four-star wastewater system
Hotels depend on reliable sewage systems. In the construction of a 170 room luxury resort in Benoa on Bali, the sewage pipes made of cast iron and other materials are connected with NORMACONNECT DCS RAPID couplings and NORMACONNECT DCS FIX to make them leak-proof. The pipe connectors bridge gaps of up to three millimetres and compensate extension resulting from extreme heat and temperature changes.
Frankfurt airport protected against downpours
Approximately 57 million passengers a year use the about 14,000 parking spaces of the Frankfurt airport to station their vehicles safely out of the rain. The cast-iron pipes of the drainage system are connected with NORMACONNECT DCS RAPID couplings and NORMACONNECT DCS universal restraint collars. The two joining products withstand high pressures while keeping the system tight, and protect against downpours and large amounts of water.
