Huntingdon pipestoppers used for highway spillages

A leading European highway authority has placed a significant order for Huntingdon Fusion Techniques large inflatable Pipestoppers.

The French Authority had needed to combat the problem of potentially lethal vehicle fuel spilling into the transport drainage systems following traffic collisions.

This could prove extremely dangerous to major sections of the road and motorway, throughout mainland Europe.

The Pipestoppers Division of Huntingdon Fusion Techniques offered and received orders for number of its Raft style inflatable pipestoppers to put into place during fuel spillages.

These large, 'pancake' shaped stoppers are normally used to leak test or block pipework.

Due to their construction they are completely collapsible after deflation, light in weight and easy to handle.

The inflatable outer ring has a bonded neoprene rubber layer to provide an effective seal offering resistance to petrochemical fuels.

A variety of sizes and styles are available from 50mm to 2,000mm diameter.

The customer has already placed a repeat order.
