To compensate for heat losses and to prevent freezing, an electric heat tracing system is the prime solution on both buried and above ground applications. In most cases, a heat tracing cable is pulled into trace channels in long circuit lengths, after the pipes have been field assembled. These trace channels are factory applied to the pipes as part of the insulating process.
GF Urecon has the unique advantage of offering a full package: from GF factory pre-insulated pipes or insulation applied to your own pipes, to heat tracing systems including cables, thermostats, and accessories, we also offer a complete computer assisted engineering service providing custom calculations such as heat loss, time to freeze, fluid outlet temperature, minimun flow rates, tracing wattage required and heat gain.
You can count on us to support every phase of your project backed by our experienced engineers and technical specialists.
Clean drinking water reaches remote Northern Manitoba
The Tataskweyak Cree Nation community undertook a project to improve its drinking water system. The goal was to provide over 4,000 residents with clean drinking water. The project involved installing more than 25,000 feet of 16-inch HDPE factory-insulated pipe with heat tracing designed to carry raw water to the new water treatment facility.
