Amiblu has successfully delivered the extension of its GRP pipe production facility in Morocco, with support from Insta Globe, a global leader in industrial electrification services. The factory has been commissioned, and the initial trials are now underway.
The Amiblu factory extension will produce glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) pipe systems for drinking water, wastewater, stormwater, and irrigation infrastructure in the North African markets. GRP pipes are lightweight and corrosion resistant. They offer long service life, low hydraulic losses, and minimal maintenance, making them a strong alternative to steel, ductile iron, or concrete for many applications.
“This extension supports Amiblu mission to improve access to safe water and sanitation, and to build resilient, long-life water networks globally,” said Omar Benyahia, Managing Director of Amitech Maroc, subsidiary of Amiblu. “Both Amiblu Technology and Insta Globe teams were instrumental in the successful delivery of the project's electrification activities. Their professionalism, technical competence, and disciplined execution enabled us to launch operations on schedule and with confidence in the reliability of our pipe production systems.”
Insta Globe played a key role in electrification and instrumentation cabling and connections under the leadership of Amiblu Technology team.
“This project demonstrates Insta Globe’s ability to deliver complex industrial electrification in manufacturing environments and bring production facilities online reliably and safely anywhere in the world,” commented Ivo Pukk, CEO of Insta Globe Engineering. “We’re very pleased to have worked with Amiblu Technology team to bring this facility in Morocco online and help support critical water infrastructure.”
Amiblu’s pipes are used to transport water reliably for municipal, industrial, and regional infrastructure systems worldwide. In Africa, Amiblu has already delivered multiple significant infrastructure projects. Its GRP pipe solutions have been implemented in major applications such as the extensive GRP drainage pipelines for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) infrastructure in Dakar, Senegal.
“Delivering a production facility of a high technical and operational caliber requires precise coordination across electrification and instrumentation activities,” concluded Konstantin Mikhailov, CTO of Insta Globe. “Our teams worked in close coordination with Amiblu’s project organization and executed all cabling, connections, and containment works in line with international quality and safety standards.”
