 
Future Pipe Industries Group and Scanunit Secure order for retrofit of cooling water system onboard Swedish icebreakers
7/13/2010 | | Atle |
Future Pipe Industries Group and its Swedish contractor Scanunit are to replace 1200 meter of steel pipe per ship with glass fiber reinforced epoxy pipe systems (GRE) onboard vessels ‘mv Atle’ and ‘mv Frej’.
Future Pipe Industries Group (FPI), the global leader in the fiberglass pipe industry, has announced that it has been awarded the order for the supply of glass fiber reinforced epoxy pipe systems (GRE) for two ice breakers. Just one year after FPI and Scanunit started their collaboration, the Swedish Maritime Association granted this big order.
Marc Groenewoud, Unit Manager Shipbuilding of FPI said: "we are very pleased that our co-operation with Scanunit is already so successful. Securing this project is testament to the fact that our collaboration has a lot of synergies for both of our organizations. He added: "Scanunit will be leading this project and FPI will supply the material to Lulea, in the North of Sweden. Both prefabrication (alongside) and installation of the spools will be done by trained Scanunit fitters in close co-operation with FPI. Before mounting the new system in the ships, the existing steel pipes will be removed. Together with the GRE piping Scanunit will install new plate heat exchangers and Boll & Kirch filters. So we can speak of true turn key project management"
