Ship to yard to right-of-way: Increase safety and productivity by using vacuum lifting
In this presentation Vacuworx will explore the differences between the traditional way of handling pipe with slings and chains verses using vacuum lifting technology for energy and infrastructure pipelines. Vacuum lifting systems keep people out of harm’s way during material handling operations, dramatically reducing the chance for injury. In addition, vacuum lifting can help increase efficiency and improve the bottom line results by increasing productivity while reducing the number of people required to do the job.
Internal bending of pre-insulated pipes
Maats has been manufacturing machines for the cold bending of steel pipes from 6” to 60” for several years already. These conventional external bending machines are mainly used for cross country gas pipelines. Now the new addition to the Maats product range is internal bending machines (IB), especially designed for bending pipes that have an external insulation. In this presentation by Maats will discuss the benefits of utilising their new internal bending machine on pre-insulated pipes.
