Concerned about ground water and cathodic protection? PipeSak is made of a woven fabric that is as permeable as the ballast used to fill it.

Features:

  • Non-biodegradable
  • No dewatering and no extra trench depth required

  • Easily filled on site
  • Short lead time needed – shipped within days
  • Will not tip and conforms closely to pipe

Rockshields

Tuff-N-Nuff™ Rockshield is a patented, non-woven, flexible PVC material that protects pipe coatings from direct impact during backfilling operations and allows water to drain away. It also provides long-term protection of the pipe by keeping hard objects in the backfill away form the pipe coating during operation of the line. The unique Tuff-N-Nuff pattern also makes cathodic testing effective, as verified by the testing departments of pipeline owners.

Considering the high cost of pipe and labour and the increasing government controls to improve pipeline safety, it’s more important than ever to protect expensive pipeline installations.Tuff-N-Nuff™ Rockshield
