LARGE DIAMETER CASING INTERVIEW WITH KIERAN
In the video, Kieran discusses the pioneering of large diameter threaded casing which replaced welded casing and reduced OHS risks. He talks to the growing market, potential expansion up to 40", and benefits such as increased tensile strength and cost savings. This innovation serves industries such as oil and gas, mineral drilling, and piling - improving efficiency and safety.
PERFORATED
VS
SLOTTED?
3 Reasons Why You Might Choose Perforated Pipes Over Slotted
1. Significantly Increased Structural Integrity: The circular holes in perforated pipes maintain the pipe’s structural integrity far greater than the elongated slots in slotted pipes, especially when there is high external compressive loads or the potential of higher torque required during installation.
2. Higher Flow Rates: In most cases, achieving the same open area with holes verse slots will decrease friction loss enabling higher flow rates.
3. Clogging Resistance: Perforated pipes may be less prone to clogging than slotted pipes, as the round holes can help reduce the accumulation of debris and allow for easier maintenance. Together with this, with slotted pipes, the slots tend to close up when under external ground or packing loads.
CUT GROOVE PIPING CHALLENGES
Problem: One of our valued clients was facing issues with cut groove piping. The seal dimensional tolerances were inconsistent, and the piping lengths weren’t precise enough to enable them to order only what was required. These imperfections were impacting the efficiency of operations and planning and causing unnecessary budget blow-outs.
Solution: That’s where Allegiant Solutions stepped in. Our commitment to technical excellence and innovation means we go beyond the standard requirements set by cut groove coupling OEMs. By utilizing superior material selection and our in-house manufacturing processes, we supply cut grooved products with tight tolerances not only on the groove but also on the length. The result? A reliable product you can trust, every time. At Allegiant, we don’t just meet industry standards—we exceed them to ensure your project’s success.
