The weld seam was inspected both at the production plant in Wunstorf and on the construction site.
The two pipe systems prior to delivery. and the correct use of shielding gas. This is especially critical for pipe-inpipe designs with very limited space for shielding gas, or when connecting two very long pipe sections by TIG welding at an intermediate location.”
Single source planning, manufacturing, assembly In addition to production, BRUGG Pipes also took on the technical planning, preparation, assembly, and installation of the pipelines. The route between the tank and the test facility required precise coordination of the individual work steps. The installation benefited from the system’ s flexibility and, compared to rigid pipelines, could be carried out with less effort. The reduced number of connection points also helped to shorten the assembly time. Martin Rigaud, CEO of BRUGG Pipes, summarises:“ The decisive factors here were precise planning, production in long individual lengths, and consistent quality assurance throughout all project phases.” The aerospace order demonstrates how versatile vacuum-insulated pipe systems are today- especially where technical precision, controlled manufacturing, and coordinated installation are crucial.
