Tatsuno is an expert in thermoplastic welding and installing a wide range of high-performance plastic pipes and fittings. We manufacture pipes that meet the standards and requirements of SABS ISO 4427.
Tatsuno’s Lined pipe systems also meet all of the requirements of ASTM F1545. All of our HDPE-lined fittings are tested at 1.5 times the service pressure of our customers. This makes sure that our lined pipe manufacturing facility makes HDPE lined fittings that are the best and the most reliable HDPE pipe installation in the world for our clients.
Tatsuno meets the challenges and needs of the pipeline industry by offering the best corrosion protection system, informing our clients about regulations and compliance, providing savvy and recognized corrosion experts in pipeline integrity and management, and giving our clients a complete turnkey solution every time.
HDPE pipe has several benefits over metallic pipe, plastic pipe, or tanker trucking of oil and gas/ process water collection pipeline systems. These benefits include:
Heat-fused HDPE pipes form a unified, leak-free piping system. The joints which are heat-fused, are as durable as the pipe itself. This leak-free system lowers the possibility of produced water, oil, and gas, leaking and causing environmental damage.
HDPE pipe is resistant to rust, UV damage, and corrosion over time. This makes the pipe material appropriate for outdoor use or for those requiring regular exposure to H2S gas, water, and other fluids. Polyethylene is resistant to degradation from exposure to salts, alkalis, and the majority of acids. Additionally, HDPE pipe is also not affected by a wide range of organic solvents and pH levels.
The low friction coefficient of HDPE pipe enables a very high flow rate. The smooth surface not only increases flow but also minimizes drag and unstable flow. This improves pumping efficiency and lowers pumping costs.
Although carbon steel and composite pipe are used in oil and gas applications, they are costly. Carbon steel is expensive and has a high initial cost due to its weight, transportation expenses, and coatings. HDPE pipe is fast becoming the preferred material for safe, cost-effective oil and gas collection systems at high temperatures.
HDPE pipe can withstand temperatures of up to 140°F, although it can also withstand temperatures of up to 180°F without harm for a shorter duration of time
Material handling and procurement ensure production and cost-effectiveness. Starting with the initial project estimate up to the allocation of quantities and performance that exceeds all of our client’s expectations, Tatsuno is fully dedicated to ensuring that production is maintained.
Our civil construction team has a deep understanding of the local terrain and conditions and a track record of getting projects done on time and on budget. Key employees have worked in the mining, commercial, and industrial sectors and have both national and international experience.
Welding quality and internal joint alignment are essential for HDPE lining. Tatsuno’s lined pipe systems use the best welding equipment to eliminate these issues. The right internal line-up pipe clamp is used for welding setup to eliminate edge miss-alignment and offer full weld joint alignment throughout the operation.
Tatsuno’s thermal butt fusion technology is essential for the continuous lining. Thermal butt fusion delivers a large, uniform length of HDPE pipe quickly and affordably. Our skilled technicians use high-tech welding machines to improve productivity, efficiency, and safety.
This technology protects the carbon steel pipeline from internal corrosion with a continuous HDPE liner. It decreases pipeline abrasion and static pressure and saves money on fittings, energy bills, and carbon steel renewal. Leaks and environmental hazards are also reduced. This technology uses a folded HDPE liner put into carbon steel pipes. The liner’s internal diameter matches the steel pipe’s.
Pipeline pre-commissioning is performed for bolt-up cleaning and activation, as well as inspections using CCTV camera inspections, torque converters with precise torque settings, pressure testing (hydro or pneumatic), etc. Pipeline construction and upkeep is its key operation. Tatsuno provides devoted management, accurate strategy preparation, and trained field staff for this.
The senior management team of Tatsuno unites a lot of experience and expertise in pipeline construction and plastic extrusion with domain knowledge in project management, costing, and planning.
Tatsuno is also unique due to the way we care about our staff. We strive to hire and retain experienced workers so that we can grow in a balanced way and promote an environment of steady progress.
Tatsuno is very committed to making sure that production is supported, from the initial inquiry of a project to the preparation for production volumes and effectiveness that exceeds all of our clients’ demands. Our overall goal is to give each of our clients the most worth by giving them the best turnkey pipeline solution.
