Case Study: Eskom achieves faster, safer installation at Medupi Power Station with Victaulic grooved piping solutions

Eskom cuts fire protection labor 60% with Victaulic

The South African energy provider Eskom required a fast and efficient installation method for the piping systems at its massive Medupi Power Station coal-fired plant. To mitigate risk and improve jobsite safety, Eskom selected Victaulic's grooved piping solutions for the project's fire protection and chilled water systems.

Victaulic implemented its grooved couplings, fittings, and valves, which eliminated the need for hot work and reduced stress on connected equipment. This solution provided significant labor savings, resulting in a 60% reduction in labor for the fire protection system and allowing the HVAC system to be installed in 20% of the time a welded system would have required.
