IFSB, Luxembourg

  • Correct installation is key in the utility sector to ensure safety during installation and protect from leakage. The Institut de Formation Sectoriel du Bâtiment (IFSB) was set up by representatives of the construction and public works sector to enhance the skills of people working in the field. GF Piping Systems is the chosen partner to provide training in the installation and welding of thermoplastic piping systems at the learning center of IFSB in Luxembourg. Trainings include theory, hands-on practical trials, as well as virtual reality sessions with VR goggles. With this tool, trainees can practice the same installation several times at their own pace until they truly feel comfortable going out into the field.

Hyperscale Data Center, Ireland

  • Speed and reliability are essential when it comes to the construction of data centers, where the exponentially growing demand for data storage means new facilities are built at dizzying speeds. During the construction of a new hyperscale data center in Ireland, GF Piping Systems' ecoFIT was chosen for the process cooling water application, in combination with Off-site Manufacturing, allowing the on-site installation time to be reduced remarkably from 6 months to 6 weeks.
  • GF Piping Systems leveraged its in-house expertise in data centers to provide a range of engineering services to support the design and installation process, including stress analysis, static load calculations, re-design of piping isometrics, piping expansion/contraction analysis, and recommendations for the design of pipe supports.

UCT, Czech Republic

  • Microelectronics manufacturers have a keen eye for quality assurance – the tiniest particles traveling through their networks would destroy their high demand product. UCT is a global leader in semiconductor fabrication support. In the face of a highly volatile market, the company sought out local support for greater security, while still relying on a global supplier, with representation only minutes away in Liberec, Czech Republic.
  • To meet the required specifications in terms of cleanliness, surface roughness and chemical resistance, a SYGEF solution from GF Piping Systems was chosen – ensuring operational safety throughout.

Synergy Packaging, Australia

  • Being sustainable as a company also means keeping up with demand – but greater speed and increased capacity also means growing operational safety challenges. Synergy Packaging (Tullamarine, Australia), now under the PACT Group specializes in the manufacture and supply of high quality recyclable plastic packaging. The increasing demand for products meant that Synergy Packaging needed to move to a new facility, requiring a pipe upgrade to gain highest production capacities.
  • Synergy Packaging chose GF Piping Systems’ COOL-FIT 2.0 and PVC-U piping systems including piping, fittings and valves to achieve efficiency for process cooling and condenser water applications. PVC-U was used instead of copper to avoid corrosion, a lighter weight to save further on-site labour costs and the competitive pricing. Furthermore, Tangit solvent cement jointing instruction training was organized together with COOL-FIT 2.0 installation training by GF Piping Systems Australia local Melbourne team.
