The Challenge

At “Molimentales” Mine in order to continue with their open-cast mining operations, it was necessary to drainage water from some sections in the ground. Formerly, the mine used an HDPE pipe of 12 meter sections, but they had constant issues due to leaks in the joints.

Pexgol Solution

A Pexgol pipe was provided, in 100 meters sections, in order to have less joints and thereby less leak risks.

Furthermore, the installation was fast and simple due to the lack of welds, and the pipes were dragged with the equipment that the mine already had available.
