Summary

Background
Within the UK Water and Gas Utility sectors Polyethylene pipe networks are predominately connected using electrofusion welding.

Electrofusion is a technique using a coupler into which a polyethylene pipe is inserted, the coupler is manufactured with conducting wires.

When controlled power is applied by an electrofusion control unit the wires heat up and fuse the pipe material to the coupler material, creating a water
- or gas-tight joint.

In order to create a quality electrofusion weld a number of actions are required including.

Clamping for alignment
Pipe surface scraping to remove the degraded layer of polymer
Ensuring a clean postscrape pipe surface and internal coupler wall
A full uninterrupted heating cycle.

These electrofusion weld assessments are then stored on a cloud-based portal called JointManager that is accessible by customers to view and analyse weld quality.

Ovarro recognise the need for a diverse workforce and we are committed to equal opportunities in employment.
