The benefits of protecting our nation’s water distribution networks from corrosion far outweigh the problems faced by those featuring inadequately applied, or even missing, protection. Selecting and applying the right system can help to prevent the need for costly and time-consuming remedial works in the future.
At Winn & Coales (Denso) Ltd, we recommend our Denso P1 System™ for the protection of ferrous pipes, joints, and fittings. Fully compliant with P1 Civil Engineering Specifications for the Water Industry (7th Edition), our easy-to-apply system consists of a primer (Denso Paste™); mastic (Denso™ Profiling Mastic), to fill any voids and create a smooth profile; and petrolatum tape (Denso Tape™) wrapped with a 55% overlap When administered correctly, the system offers long-term, effective protection from corrosion and can be applied on site before assets are buried. This method was recently utilised by Morrison Water Services on behalf of Thames Water at Kempton Park Water Treatment Works where the team protected 32 flanges, joints, and 4 x 1000 mm valves with the Denso P1 System.
