HDPE BUTT FUSION WELDING PROJECTS

Find out if butt fusion welding can be used for your HDPE pipe project. We provide competitive HDPE butt fusion welding quotes for a range of underground pipework installations.

BUTT FUSION WELDING

Specialising in butt fusion welding for our HDPE pipework projects, this versatile method of welding two pipe ends together is integral to any underground installation system demanding strong and durable connections. Our approach at EPS Trenchless Installations is centered around the stability, strength, and efficiency of the infrastructure being worked on. Using industry-leading equipment to provide a butt fusion welding process for guaranteed leak-proof joints, our team of trained experts deliver excellence in every thermal fusion.

ELECTROFUSION WELDING

Using cutting-edge fittings with built-in electrical heating elements, electrofusion welding melts and bonds the fitting to the pipe. This can provide a feasible alternative to butt fusion welding and is routinely employed by our team of specialists for effectively joining pipework.

Carried out by our highly trained welding operatives, electrofusion is ideal for creating consistent, strong bonds in underground piping systems. This method is also ideal in areas with limited access, such as tight spaces, and can be used to connect different types of pipes.

Socket Fusion

Providing viable solutions to all underground installation projects, our experts are proficient in precision socket fusion for small-diameter polyethylene and polypropylene pipes. No matter the pipe size or project need, being versatile can be key when installing or replacing pipework. Using heat to melt both the outside pipe surface and the inside surface of a hole cut into that pipe, socket fusion ensures a robust and reliable connection for our customers.
