CASE STUDY: PFT Bolero – Gas mains repair
Gas Main Sealing in Regional Queensland: iPipe Group Chooses the PFT Bolero from CGS Equipment
Project Background
iPipe Group, based in Brisbane, specialises in construction and maintenance services for Australia’s mining and energy sectors. Known for developing innovative field solutions, iPipe faced a new challenge on a project situated in regional Queensland – Corroding above-ground gas mains required sealing to prevent potential future leaks. iPipe approached CGS Equipment seeking a suitable solution. Given the nature of the project, the solution needed to be cost-effective, efficient, and safe for long-term use in remote regions.
CGS Equipment’s Solution: PFT Bolero and Zargomat Pumping System
After extensive on-site testing, iPipe selected the PFT Bolero from CGS Equipment for its ability to meet the precise mixing requirements of specialised grouts. Its dual capabilities of mixing and pumping made it ideal for field applications, enabling operators to use a single machine.
In conjunction with the PFT Zargomat gun, iPipe operators gained precise control and isolation of the grout system during pumping. This added a critical layer of safety and flexibility on site.
