 WHAT IS AN FRP PIPE?
• FRP-FIBRE REINFORCED PLASTIC

• FRP stands for fiber-reinforced plastic, it's a term typically used in North

America. GRP is a term that means the same thing. But it's generally
used over in Europe and Asia and stands for glass-reinforced plastic.
 ADVANTAGES OF FRP PIPES
1. Light in weight.
2. High in strength.
3. Convenient in transportation
4. Convenient in installation
5. Good Corrosion Resistance
6. Good aging & heat resistance
7. Good anti freezing performance
8. Low maintenance cost
9. High conveying capacity
10.Good abrasion resistance
 PIPE JOINING SYSTEMS
1. Restrained joints
• Restrained joints are rigid bonded joints with mechanical restraint.
• Restrained joints may be used in both aboveground and underground
systems.
PIPE JOINING SYSTEMS
 PIPE JOINING SYSTEMS

2. Non-restrained joints
• Where gasketed joints are installed.
• Can be used only in underground systems where
soil stiffness & thrust blocks resolve the axial forces
generated by internal pressure and thermal loads.
• Cannot be used for directly buried pipe under road
crossings.
• Unrestrained gasketed joints may be bell-and-
spigot type utilizing double O-rings or double bell
couplings with specialized gaskets.

 PROJECT PURPOSE
• The purpose of this contract is to replace the damaged concrete pipes with FRP
pipes in Canal 1,2 & 3 Flowmeter Chambers, SWC-Jubail.

• Replacement will be done within the chamber of Flowmeter which are located
along the bank of supply and Return canals.
 PROJECT BACKGROUND
• Seawater canals-------------Supply Sea Water---------13 Sabic Affiliates
