The project will utilize Perma-Pipe’s XTRU-THERM® insulation system, a spray-applied polyurethane foam jacketed with a high-density polyethylene casing. Prior to application of the insulation system, an anti-corrosion liquid epoxy coating system will be applied to the pipes as well as installing Perma-Pipe’s own PermAlert® leak detection system.

In addition, Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd. awarded Perma-Pipe India for the provision of thermally insulated pipe and field joints for a heat-traced application on the ABNP - Cairn Project, Rajasthan. The project will utilize Perma-Pipe’s TRACE-THERM™ insulation system which is designed to ensure optimum heat management during the life of the pipeline. The system will have welded tracer tubes for heat tracing and spray-applied polyurethane foam jacketed with a high-density polyethylene casing. Prior to application of the insulation system, an anti-corrosion fusion bonded epoxy coating will be applied internally and externally using Perma-Pipe’s custom coating facility.
