By combining steel fittings, which require fewer joints, savings on labour and materials are difficult to ignore.
In addition, designs illustrate that the use of welded steel pipe can also do away with the need for large concrete thrust blocks.
This is especially important in remote areas where the supply of ready mixed concrete may be difficult, or in urban areas where there are utility services in close proximity.
According to Barnard, who have recently gained several important water industry contracts, its designs show several advantages for using carbon steel, particularly for larger diameters.
Savings will also be evident for any non-standard fittings required in water and wastewater treatment plants, especially where space is confined.
This Barnard service can also reveal the benefits of utilising carbon steel for the refitting of an existing works, where it can be shaped and sized to suit almost any twist or turn.
