Wellmaster Hose
Wellmaster is the world's premier flexible rising main. Apart from being the world's first bore drop hose of its type, it has 25 years of proven field experience. The heart of Wellmaster is a continuous woven circular sock of high modulus synthetic yarn. It provides both the tensile and burst strength to enable the riser to be used at depths of 200 metres, and beyond in some cases, without the need for any other support system. The continuous sock is fed through an extruder with anvil and the polymer elastomer coating is injected through the sock to form both the inside and outside coatings. The inside coating, of course, makes the riser water-proof, while the outer coating provides protection for the all-important inner sock. The polymer elastomer is used for a high abrasion resistance and in fact is the same elastomer used to coat steel pipes when abrasive slurries are being pumped.
A flexible layflat riser for use in groundwater abstraction.
Features unique “through-the-weave” one piece construction comprising a circular woven high tenacity.
Polyester reinforcement totally encapsulated in a tough elastomeric polyurethane cover and lining.
Offers major cost savings and performance advantages over conventional rigid pipe systems.
Typical Applications
Proven performance in over twenty years in over 40,000 installations.
- Potable and mineral groundwater extraction
- Water supply wells for desalination plants
- Leachate extraction on landfill sites
- Mine and quarry de-watering
- Drains, caisson duty, offshore rigs and platforms
- Prevention of saline intrusion
- Groundwater stabilisation on building sites
- Offshore fire protection pumping
- Scavenger pumping
- Groundwater pressure reduction in tunnelling
- Fast Installation and Retrieval Long continuous lengths are 75% lighter and easier to handle than rigid pipe for same day installation. No sectional flanges or joints to dismantle for fast retrieval.
- Reduced Set-Up Costs Lightweight and compact for reduced transport and storage costs. Low manpower levels for installation cost savings.
- Reduced Operational Costs Superior hydraulic performance with low friction loss for efficient pumping and reduced operating costs.
- Long Service Life Designed for long service life with minimal maintenance. Tough and durable with exceptional resistance to corrosion, scaling and microbiological attack. Superior hydraulic performance is maintained resulting in major energy savings over its operational lifetime.
- Superior Performance Swells up to 15% above uncharged diameter under operational conditions to give higher flow rates over rigid pipes. Outstanding flexibility eliminates noise, dampens surges, and minimises damage by vibration.
