The straight seam pipe and pipe used in the tap water pipeline project should meet the requirements of relevant product standards and design regulations in China, and there is a factory certificate to ensure that the material does not pollute the water quality.

Large-diameter straight-seam steel pipes shall be hoisted with slings or special tools. In the process of transportation, they should be packed and fastened, and they cannot collide with each other.

After checking the bottom of the tank, check the positions of pipe joints and fittings, and then lower the straight-seam steel pipe.In addition, a working pit should be dug at each joint, and the size of the working pit should be suitable for the convenient installation of the pipe joint.

When lowering the pipeline, use two cranes to hang the two ends of the steel pipe respectively, wrap the pipe body with high-strength nylon belt, and then slowly lower it into the foundation groove.

The crane should be commanded by specially designated personnel. The lifting speed should be uniform, the rotation should be stable, and the lowering speed should be low. The crane should not suddenly slow down or brake.
