Applications

At Durotan we've supplied and installed pre-insulated pipe systems for a range of applications. Read more about the applications we've worked on.

Pre-insulated Steel Pipe

Pre-insulated steel district heating pipes are designed to be buried directly in the ground. It can also be installed externally above ground. The Durotan Steel pre-insulated pipe system is manufactured to British Standards EN253. Durotan are the UK’s leading pre-insulated pipe installers and have supplied and installed pre-insulated steel pipe networks for district heating, biomass heating, district energy, CHP and community heating projects. Projects where we have installed steel pre-insulated pipe include: The Barbican – City of London, RAF St Mawgan – Cornwall, Met Office – Exeter, Broadmoor Hospital, Royal Military Academy – Sandhurst, Edinburgh University and H M Prison Manchester (Strangeways).

Pre-insulated PEX Pipe

Pre-insulated PEX pipe, or cross-linked polyethylene pipe, is quicker to install and consequently costs and inconvenience to residents are significantly reduced. We have supplied and installed Durotan flexible coiled pre-insulated PEX district heating pipe on a number of community heating and district energy schemes, schools and biomass heating schemes, many of which were funded by Community Energy Initiative grants or Clear Skies renewable energy grants, meaning value for money was a key objective. Projects on which we have installed flexible coiled pre-insulated PEX district heating pipes include: The University of East Anglia, Convent Estate – Ladbroke Grove, Lucknow Barracks, Greenwich Millennium Village, Chadwell Heath Hospital, City of London Guildhall, Manchester Museum of Science and Center Parcs – Elveden Forest.

Pre-insulated Steel-in-Steel Pipe

Durotan Steel-in-Steel pre-insulated district heating pipe systems are used for cooling liquids, chemical products, thermal oil, hot air and gases within the temperature range -30C to +400C. Our steel-in-steel pre-insulated pipe system has been installed in district heating, CHP and community heating projects. Projects where we have installed steel-in-steel pre-insulated pipe include: BP – Sunbury on Thames, RAF Fairford, Battle Hospital – Reading, RAF Mildenhall and Cranfield University.

Pre-insulated Industrial Pipe

Over the years we have supplied a wide range of special pre-insulated pipe for industrial, process, pharmaceutical and chemical handling. The benefits of hygienic casing, consistent installation, vapour sealing, and fast installation with the options of leak detection and trace heating are considerable. We can pre-insulate almost any combination of service pipe and casing.

Secondary Containment Pipe

The specifications for industrial pre-insulated pipe, safety pipe and secondary containment pipe are considerably varied and the best starting point for information on these systems is through direct contact with our team of experts. We have supplied and installed safety pipe and secondary containment pipe for a range of uses including the conveyance of fuel, hazardous liquids and gases below and above ground. Projects where we have installed safety pipe include: Consignia, RAF Mildenhall, Redhill Hospital and RAF Lakenheath.

Biomass Heating

Biomass heating and biomass combined heat and power are growing in popularity as a greener alternative to fossil fuel powered heating systems. Our customers have found that our steel and flexible PEX pre-insulated district heating pipes are ideally suited to biomass heating installations. For short pipe runs from biomass heating plants flexible PEX pre-insulated pipe can be supplied cut to length from full coils we have available in stock. From larger biomass heating plants where the pipe sizes are greater or the temperatures higher, our steel pre-insulated pipe is the answer.
