Haydale公司向英国电网提供新型通用过渡管道密封系统
Haydale已经向英国电网生产并交付了8套通用过渡件密封系统，并在今后6年中收到了60份对此感兴趣的声明。
Haydale公司向英国电网提供新型通用过渡管道密封系统
这种重量轻、可移动的复合一般过渡段(GTP)用于密封管道周围的管道，管道通过混凝土墙，如检查坑，跨越包括天然气、水、石油和天然气在内的多种公用设施。这允许时间和成本效益的检查和修理管道过渡.
这是个商业订单，生产和交付了8个GTP机组，用于跨越英国输气网络上的两个电网天然气场址的过渡。
电网(National Grid)的高级土木工程师保罗·奥格登(Paul Ogden)表示：“在接下来的6年里，可能会有多达60台这样的设备安装在输电系统中，这将大大提高安全性，并在未来5至10年内节省500万英镑，此外还会节省更多资金。”
使用目前的浇铸混凝土方法证明，随着时间的推移，密封件的降解成本很高，允许地下水和细物质通过过渡，可能对管道及其涂层造成损害。检查和更换也是时间和人力密集型，增加了安全措施，增加使用重型机械现场。
Haydale的GTP轻量级系统是通过他们的创新倡议与电网联合开发的。GTP在管道周围提供长达50年的有效密封，并允许管道过渡由两人工作人员进行检查，而不需要挖掘、拆除或提升设备。
在美国纽约举行的电网2016年主席奖上，该系统获得了“功勋奖”。
Haydale复合材料公司董事总经理基思·布罗德本特评论说：
“可移动的复合GTP系统在安全和效率方面向前迈进了一大步，解决了公用事业公司面临的一个主要问题。Haydale很高兴找到了一个解决方案，并正在与电网合作，以确保个完全安装并在英国使用。有了这样一项新的、有利的创新，我们的GTP系统从研究和开发向商业化迅速发展，这一点也就不足为奇了。我们期待着与更多的公用事业公司合作。“

Haydale has produced and delivered 8 General Transition Piece Sealing Systems to National Grid UK, and has received an expression of interest for a further 60 over the next 6 years.
Haydale delivers novel general transition pipe sealing system to National Grid UK
This light weight, removeable composite General Transition Piece (GTP) is used for sealing around pipelines wher they pass through concrete walls, such as inspection pits, across a multitude of utilities including gas, water and oil and gas. This allows for time and cost-effective inspection and repair at pipe transitions.
This first commercial order has seen production and delivery of 8 GTP units for transitions across two National Grid Gas sites on the UK gas transmission network.
Paul Ogden, a Senior Civil Engineer with National Grid says, “During the next 6 years, up to 60 of these units are likely to be installed in the National Transmission System and will significantly improve safety as well as creating savings of up to 5 million in the next five to ten years, with further savings beyond that."
GTP installed
Using the current cast concrete method proves costly as seals degrade over time, allowing ground-water and fine material to flow through the transition, potentially causing damage to the pipe and its coating. Inspection and replacement is also time and labour intensive with added safety measures caused through increased use of heavy machinery on-site.
Haydale’s GTP light weight system has been jointly developed with National Grid via their innovation initiative. The GTP provides effective sealing around the pipe for up to 50 years, and allows pipe transitions to be inspected by a two-man crew, without the need for excavation, demolition, or lifting equipment.
The system was given an ‘Award of Merit’ at National Grid’s 2016 Chairman’s Award, held in New York, USA.
Keith Broadbent, Managing Director Composites at Haydale, commented:
“The removable composite GTP system is a huge step forward in safety and efficiency, solving a major problem faced by utility providers. Haydale is pleased to have found a solution and is working alongside National Grid to see the first fully installed and in use in the UK. With such a novel, advantageous innovation, it is not surprising to see our GTP system move from research and development to commercialisation so quickly. We look forward to working with more utilities companies, globally.”
