UG: HDPE Pipelines Installation
Every year, Unique Group gets involved in supplying our Mono Buoyancy Units for more and more HDPE pipeline projects around the world. Because HDPE pipe is intrinsically buoyant and offers more than enough reserve buoyancy to support the concrete collars when the ends are capped, it may not always be apparent that the use of additional buoyancy units can be a vital part of this process when it comes to the easy positioning and joining of multiple pipe strings.
