Butt Fusion

​

MTS is accredited by EUSR to perform butt fusion on gas and water mains, handling pressures up to 16 bar depending on the material being welded. This process uses semi and fully automatic welding machines. The ends of the pipes are heated using a Teflon-coated heater plate, then brought together to form a homogeneous joint. Once cooled, the weld bead is removed for examination to ensure integrity and quality.

Electrofusion

Our team is also proficient in electrofusion, accredited by EUSR to work on gas and water mains at pressures up to 16 bar. The procedure involves preparing the pipe ends by removing the oxidised layer with a scraper. The pipes are inserted into the electrofusion coupler, followed by the introduction of voltage through the fusion box. This completes the process by securely fusing each pipe end to the coupler, ensuring a durable seal.

Main Laying

​

We expertly conduct main laying operations across a wide range of pipe sizes and pressures in gas networks, from 32mm to 630mm, catering from low pressure (LP) to intermediate pressure (IP) systems.
