Europress allowed Pernod Ricard to commence with production at full capacity over two months earlier than if they had welded the pipework. “We had a very tight deadline to reinstate tanks following the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake in time for vintage and needed a rapid install of services piping for new tanks being installed at the Tamaki site. A fully welded option wasn’t going to be acceptable due to the long install time. So, we trialed Europress piping on four tanks, which was completed simultaneously with five tanks that were welded. The result showed that the Europress option was the way to go going forward, and so the remainder of the tank farm was completed using that. The installation time proved to be less than half that which was quoted for welded pipe install, and installed costs have come in at two-thirds that of welded piping,” says Mr Waller. Figure 1.
