Underground Fuel Pipe systems from PetroTechnik
Several types of underground fuel pipe are available for different applications and to meet various engineering and legal requirements:
- UPP Extra lined primary pipe with 100% nylon barrier - for product, suction, pressure, vapour, vent and fill lines
- UPP Secondary Containment pipe - for pressure systems or environmentally sensitive sites.
- UPP unlined primary pipe - for use as Vent, vapour recovery (VR1) and fill lines.
- UPP electrical conduit pipe- for underground electrical wiring protection.

UPP piping systems are designed in various diameters, from 32-160mm (1"-6") for the transfer of fuels in filling station forecourts, marinas, and airports. UPP systems are also used for government and military installations as well as many industrial sites such as mines and rail depots.
The small bore 32mm (1") pipe is also designed to be the perfect solution for fuel oil generator systems for the transport of fuel from above or below ground storage tanks to the generator units.
At the heart of the UPP system is a highly efficient electrofusion welding system which connects pipe and fittings to create a seamless direct burial pipe-work system. The welding operation, easily and quickly carried out, even in confined spaces and any climatic conditions, uses the UPP systems lightweight portable electrofusion welding unit to form the strongest of assemblies.
