Turbine pipes are frequently constructed on extreme terrain. These conditions and the high operating pressures require very high-performance materials – ductile iron pipes! The connection between the pressurized pipes must be simple, absolutely watertight, safe and quick. The pipes and fittings with high peak pressure resistance from TRM are ideally suited for installation along woodland roads and in other difficult terrains, for example.
These requirements are met by the VRS®-T-connections, which have proven their worth millions of times over. They enable work to progress quickly and safely – narrow trench excavations, bend capability, can be laid in bad weather, fast re-cultivation. The excellent strength properties and the tension and thrust-proofness of our ductile cast iron pipes guarantee that power station pipes will continue to work without any problems for generations.
The unique TRM socket joint system also enables the turbines to be put into operation quickly without the need for welding and weld seam checks.
Electricity from hydropower is clean energy!
