Nearly 11,000 metres <\/strong>of FITT Bluforce<\/strong><\/a>-the first PVC-A pipe with EPD\u00ae environmental certification <\/strong>in Europe, obtained according to the ISO 14025 and EN 15804:2012+A2:2019 international standards<\/strong> – were used for the \u201cRenovation and completion of the Muravera irrigation system and the recovery of salinized land<\/strong>” by Consorzio di Bonifica della Sardegna Meridionale, the South Sardinia region land reclamation consortium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>What\u2019s the plan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new distribution network, which covers an area close to the right embankment of the Flumendosa river<\/strong>, will provide a flow rate of 45 l\/s to the Muravera district<\/strong>, meeting the irrigation needs of approximately 50 hectares of farmland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The works will furnish the area with a public irrigation system<\/strong>, therefore eliminating the need for the current land irrigation network, which <\/strong>requires drawing resources from private wells and distributing them through a private infrastructure, a solution that over the years has given rise to salinization issues<\/strong>, resulting in damage to crops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new irrigation infrastructure will allow the recovery of currently compromised land and its reuse for the development of citrus crops<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The use of PVC-A as material of choice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the design phase, PVC-A<\/strong> was<\/strong> preferred to PVC-U<\/strong>, a material traditionally used for the construction of new irrigation infrastructures. The PVC-A polymer alloy, obtained from the combination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE)<\/strong>, brings together the strength of PVC-U and the ductility of polyethylene, resulting in a product that offers very high resistance to crack propagation<\/strong>, the main cause of failure in pressure networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PVC-A guarantees a<\/strong> longer service life<\/strong> of irrigation and drinking water supply networks and greater reliability in water service delivery<\/strong>, along with lower long-term maintenance costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the ductility, light weight and ease of handling of FITT Bluforce<\/strong> make installation easier and quicker, reducing the disruptions <\/strong>generally associated with construction sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, PVC-A is a more sustainable material than PVC-U: by comparison, the production of PVC-A results in a 20% reduction in CO2eq emissions, quantifiable at 14 kg CO2eq per metre of extruded pipe<\/strong>.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project required the use of <\/strong>FITT Bluforce<\/strong><\/a> <\/u><\/strong>pipes of different diameters: 110, 160, 250 and 315 mm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
