The project will utilize Perma-Pipe’s Xtru-Therm insulation system, a spray-applied polyurethane foam jacketed with a high-density polyethylene casing. Perma-Pipe will also be involved with the field joint systems, as well as being responsible for the supply, installation, and commissioning of a leak detection system for the insulated pipelines.
The project will begin execution in Perma-Pipe’s facilities in Q4 2018 and will be completed in mid-2019.
