Why steel
Advantages of steel
Galvanised steel pipes offer several advantages over plastic or concrete pipes, making them a popular choice for various applications due to a number of key benefits galvanised steel pipes provide:
Durability and strength
Galvanised steel pipes are highly durable, have a high resistance to impacts, external pressure, and heavy-duty usage. Ideal for environments subject to mechanical stresses, such as industrial and construction sites, they offer long-lasting performance.
Corrosion, fire and temperature resistance
The zinc coating on galvanised steel pipes provides exceptional protection against rust and corrosion, significantly extending their lifespan in most environments. Additionally, their fire resistance makes them a safe choice for fire protection systems and high-risk environments. Galvanised steel pipes can withstand temperatures ranging from -40°C to 100°C, outperforming many plastics in extreme conditions.
Lifespan
Designed in accordance with CD375 highways standards, ViaCon pipes are designed for a service life of at least 60 years, which can extend to up to 120 years when using polymer-coated steel, subject to site conditions and proper installation.
Maintenance and environmental impact
With easy repair options and minimal maintenance needs, such as access shafts for cleaning, galvanised steel pipes are cost-effective in the long run. Additionally, they are fully recyclable, offering a sustainable alternative to concrete and plastic pipes.
