Infrastructures

FERSIL presents a system of PVC-U pressure pipes, of high strength, strongly implemented in the market, having a high level of satisfaction from our customers:

• Reference standard EN ISO 1452;

• Dark grey colour (type RAL 7011);
• Jointing system with smooth sockets for adhesive join (withstands the background effect) or with sockets for elastomeric pressure seals (JA) in EPDM (they don't support the background effect and that's why installation anchor points must be implemented);
• With an MRS value of 25.0 MPa (classified as PVC250), it is designed for cold water supply (20 °C to 45 °C) with a diversified operating pressure (6 to 20 bar).
• In order to comply with national legislation regarding materials in contact with water for human consumption, FERSIL has its PVC-U pressure pipes certified by AENOR and periodically carries out tests, in authorized laboratories, to verify the absence of harmful effects on water.

FERSIL presents a highly flexible PE100 pipe system, with excellent efficiency in the water transport capacity, with low cost installation and a guarantee of the quality of the joining systems:

FERSIL has developed a range of polyethylene (PE) pipes for conducting and supplying gaseous fuels (Natural gas, butane, propane and LPG) with a maximum service pressure of 0.4MPa (PN4 for Portugal), 0.5 MPa (PN5 for Spain) and 1.0MPa (PN10 for other markets). These pipes can also transport the so-called Green Gas that incorporates Hydrogen in percentages allowed by the technical regulations in force.

• Reference standard EN 1555 (equivalent to ISO 4437);
• Colour black with yellow stripes;
• Supplied in coils of 50 m and 100 m up to a diameter of 110 mm and in lengths of 12 m up to a diameter of 315 mm;
• Joining systems can be made with butt-fusion methods, or with electrofusion fittings or with mechanical fittings;
• With an MRS value of 10.0 MPa (designated as PE100), they have two standard dimension ratio (SDR17 and SDR11) in accordance with the requirements of EN 1555 and applicable national regulations for Gas networks.
• They are an excellent alternative when compared to traditional systems in Steel and Copper due to its high strength, resistance to slow crack propagation, lower density, greater flexibility, longevity and high chemical resistance and to UV rays.
• FERSIL has these PE100 pipes certified by CERTIF

Environmentally friendly solution

The growing concern for the environment has led to the development of a range of products with a reduced pollution index, energy savings and a low carbon footprint. The Duralight system is made of polypropylene copolymer (PP) which gives it the following characteristics:

• 100% recyclable;
• Chemically they are inert and therefore non-polluting;
• Decomposition gases are non-toxic;
• Reduced carbon footprint, with low energy consumption and low emission of greenhouse gases in the product's life cycle;
• 100% watertightness, with angular deviations and diametric compressions

Features:

• Low hydraulic roughness;
• Excellent abrasion resistance;
• High circumferential stiffness;
• Mechanical strength and hardiness;
• Chemical and thermal resistance;
• Low specific weight;
• Durability (up to 100 years).

SOLID EN 1401: Good combination of circumferential stiffness with flexibility

• The FERSIL brand for PVC-U pipes solid wall, according to EN 1401, is presented in grey or orange-brown (brick) colour, with sockets for TPE lip-ring or SBR lip-ring (reinforced with PP ring) joints.
• They have excellent mechanical resistance to impact and a good combination of ring stiffness with flexibility, which allows their installation in buried networks between 0.8 m and 6 m.
• These pipes are designed for use in buried drainage and non-pressure sewerage, with different ring stiffness classes (SN2, SN4 and SN8), suitable for the depth and the places where they are installed (with or without road traffic).

Perforated polyethylene (PE) pipes, of high flexibility and mechanical strength, with two types of wall construction according to the UNE 53994 and adapted to the requirements of the installation:

• Single wall (type C1) with a circumferential stiffness ≥ 2 kN/m2 (SN2)
• Double wall (type C2) with a circumferential stiffness ≥ 4 kN/m2 (SN4)

This range is strongly implanted in the civil construction market in works of underground non pressure drainage pipelines, with a high level of preference and satisfaction on the part of our customers.

It is an excellent alternative to traditional systems (concrete and corrugated PVC), because it is light, with a high resistance to impact and diametrical compression and with reduced installation costs on site.

It is framed in an environmental perspective associated with greater energy efficiency, which is achieved by the low consumption of raw materials and low energy production costs, which, associated with the excellent mechanical pipe characteristics, guarantee a solution of high quality and durability at very affordable prices.

• As a complement to the Duralight range, FIL presents a set of collector pipes and perforated pipes of high robustness, with large dimensions and a ring stiffness SN4 (with CR6 ≥ 6 kN/m²), applied in underground drainage and non-pressure sewerage, in accordance with the UNE 53994
• This range is strongly implemented in the market for public rain drainage works, with a high level of preference and satisfaction on the part of our customers.
• It is an excellent alternative to traditional systems (concrete or corrugated PVC), because it is light, with a high resistance to impact and diametrical compression and with reduced installation costs on site.
• It is developed in an environmental perspective associated with greater energy efficiency, which is achieved by the low consumption of raw material and low energy production costs, which associated with the excellent mechanical characteristics of the pipes, guarantees a high quality and durability solution at very competitive prices.

The 2WW double wall corrugated pipes (smooth inside) are made of polyethylene (PE) free from heavy metals and halogens, are flame spread and comply with EN 613861 and EN 6138624 for CE marking by the low voltage directive (2014/35/EU), with the technical rules RTIEBT and the ITUR regulation (ANACOM). Its profile provides good resistance to compression and impact, maintaining the flexibility that is relevant in an underground installation and facilitates the introduction of cables:

• Series L250 (light impact and 250 N in compression)
• Series N450 (normal impact and 450N in compression) Colour red (electricity) or green (telecommunications). Other colours (black, yellow or blue) on request. These pipes are supplied in 50 m rolls (with PET pull out conductor) or in 6 m rods including a cuff at one end that gives the joints an IP43 rating.

Grupo Fersil has developed a range of HDPE (high density) pipes, with highest strength to internal pressure.

They are especially designed for long-distance installation of optical fibber networks, with the introduction of the cable by high- pressure blowing techniques (up 10 to 14 bar).

They are supplied in 500 m or 1000 m coils equipped with removable plugs at both ends, which prevents animals or rubbish from entering into pipe, until the optical fibber cable is installed, thus allowing seamless installation between boxes.

They are presents in colour black or Orange (only in Angola), with or without orange/red, green or blue stripes, which serve to signal the different ducts when installed in parallel.

They can be manufactured with a smooth inner wall with a perfect surface finish or with longitudinal ribs, in order to minimize friction generated by the sliding of the optical fibber cable during the blown installation process.
