Xiangyang water source replacement project, steel mesh skeleton pipe helps upgrade urban water transportation facilities

In the Xiangyang water source replacement project, the upgrade of urban water transportation facilities has become a key part of ensuring water supply safety. Facing the multiple tests of long-distance transportation, complex terrain and water supply pressure, the steel mesh skeleton polyethylene composite pipe has played an important role in the construction of the backbone pipe network with its reliable structural design.

This kind of pipe is made of high-strength steel wire winding mesh as the skeleton, and the inner and outer composite polyethylene materials take into account the rigidity of steel and the flexibility of plastic. Its pressure-bearing capacity is significantly better than that of ordinary plastic pipes, and it can adapt to the higher operating pressure of urban water transmission trunk lines. At the same time, the smooth inner wall reduces the fluid resistance, which helps to reduce the energy consumption during the transportation process. During the construction process, the pipe connection adopts the electric melting process, and the joint forms an integrated structure, which effectively avoids the leakage risk that may occur in the traditional connection method, and improves the overall sealing of the pipe network from the source.

Considering the long-term operation of water transportation facilities, the corrosion resistance and wear resistance characteristics of pipes are equally critical. The steel mesh skeleton pipe has good tolerance to acid and alkali substances in the soil and electrochemical corrosion, and does not require additional anti-corrosion treatment, which greatly prolongs the service life of the pipeline. When crossing complex nodes such as roads and canals, its good flexibility can adapt to a certain range of foundation settlement and avoid rigid fracture, providing strong support for the long-term and stable operation of the urban water transportation network.

With the gradual implementation of the water source replacement project, the application of high-standard pipes has rejuvenated the water transmission facilities in Xiangyang City. From the water source to thousands of households, the steel mesh skeleton pipe is silently guarding the "aorta" of the urban water supply, making the delivery of clean water safer, more efficient and lasting.
