Vinidex News – Production of the Maxicoil® system in Australia has continued since its launch in 2016. Although performance has been slower than expected in this project, it is still a much prized and highly innovative product

With the Maxicoil® System, coiling of pipes is possible in longer lengths and larger inside diameters.
For example, HDPE pipe of OD125 mm currently comes in 100 m and 200 m coils, but in the future, coils as long as 2,000 m will be possible. This greatly reduces welding, handling and potential for damage while increasing both the speed and safety of installation. The trial in the Gladstone project successfully demonstrated these critical factors in the capacity of the Maxicoil System to save costs and reduce the time to connect wells: no other company in the world offers pipes like this on this scale.

ExcelPlas Lab Specialising in HDPE Pipe Condition Monitoring, Failure Analysis and Testing
In the event of a HDPE buttweld or electrofusion weld failing during initial testing, or in service, we can conduct investigations to assist in identifying the root cause of the failure.
This service also extends to the premature failure of the pipe or fitting itself.

ExcelPlas Poly Pipe Weld Inspection Lists Top 7 Causes of Weld Failure:
• Lack of scraping
• Inaccurate scraping
• Contamination from dirt, water, oil or clays
• Lack of Paralell-ness of fusion faces
• Misalignment of surfaces
• Time, temperature and pressure deviations
• Not adhering to cool times
We have extensive experience in inspection of poly pipe welds for assuring welded joint quality. Direct Poly Pipe Inspection ensures that operators are following the proven welding procedure; this reduces the occurrences of operational errors which lead to defects such as inclusions, lack of fusion (LoF), porosity and misalignment.
