Institutional visit to the Centre for
Hydrographic Studies of CEDEX
Last 16/02/2016 took place the visit to the Centre for Hydrographic Studies of CEDEX, where we were greeted by Luis Balairón, Director of the Hydraulics Laboratory
During the visit, we had the opportunity to comment the new Technical Guide for the design, manufacture and installation of pressure pipes GRP, which has developed CEDEX with the collaboration of the manufacturers, AMIANTIT, PREFABRICADOS DELTA and PROTESA (Future Pipe Industries), all licensees of AENOR product certificate and various public institutions and laboratories.
The development of this guide has involved the update of the technical knowledge about these systems in Spain, and consequently, have complemented the requirements of the standard with other tests to confirm the performance of this type of pipes, so necessary in large projects for water supply pressure applications.
The Technical Certification Committee has prepared an amendment to the Certification Regulations RP 01.48 for the AENOR mark for Polyester pipes reinforced with fiber glass (GRP) for applications with and without pressure where, in addition to the requirements of the standard, are included the tests set out in the new Guide.
The new version of this RP is in its final stage of approval and will be enforced once the mentioned Guide is published.
