Nuclear Pipelines
The Tyfo® system is comprised of advanced carbon and glass fiber-reinforced polymers for use in power piping applications. The Tyfo® system can be designed as a fully structural pressure barrier per ASME B31.1/ASME BPV III and provides the lowest cost of ownership for protecting and rehabilitating the following types of power piping:
- Low pressure (400 psi or less) and low temperature (up to 150°F) circulating water service lines (moderate energy applications)
- Non-essential service water pipe rehabilitation and cooling water systems (ASME B31.1 design)
- Safety-related service water pipelining and rehabilitation (ASME BPV III)
- 30-inch minimum ID for man-entry or trenchless applications on horizontal, diagonal and vertical pipe
- Repair/replacement of Class 3 metallic buried piping systems
- No digging (trenching) for man-entry pipe applications
- Speed of installation
- Small crew size
- Low impact to facility function during or outside outage
- Can be constructed in confined spaces with a small project footprint
- Regain original strength and/or add capacity to structure
- Extend the life of the structure (50- to 100-year design life)
- No hot work required during installation
- Corrosion mitigation for concrete and steel pipe
- Safe and environmentally compliant products and installation process
