The 90mm diameter mains pipe in front of the 9th tee has been cut and a tee coupling installed. To ensure the long-term reliability of this connection the coupling has been butt fusion welded.
Fusion welding or hot plate welding is just a process used to join polyethylene pipe together and avoids the use of compression joints, which tend to fail and be unreliable when used on pressurised pipe-work.
At this stage 50 meters of 63mm diameter MDPE pipe and 3 core electric control cable have been installed.
When the installation and connections have been completed it will mean that the new practice chipping green and its surrounds can either be irrigated using our automatic irrigation system controller or by manual control.
