The Age of Steel Is Ending: The World Is Rebuilding Water, Oil and Gas Lines in Plastic Pipe

The Age of Steel Is Ending: The World Is Rebuilding Water, Oil and Gas Lines in Plastic Pipe

Global infrastructure engineering is going through an enormous shift. The pipe systems that are a city's lifeblood are evolving from rigid steel to flexible, long-lived plastics. Using HDPE, PE and PVCO based systems is now a requirement for seismic safety. In Turkey, the most trusted link in this transformation is American REED technology, offered with the assurance of Habib Makina for 15 years.

"Any intervention that puts heat into plastic pipe weakens the system. REED's cold cutting technology preserves the molecular structure of the pipe and lays the foundation of safe infrastructure." — Yusuf Habib, Habib Makina

Why REED cold cutting technology?

Abrasive cut-off machines generate excessive heat in the pipe, making the plastic brittle and lowering its earthquake resistance. American REED engineering cuts without sparks and without heat, preserving 100% of the pipe's molecular structure.

REED solutions for site conditions

  • REED LCRC LOW CLEARANCE: Cuts in narrow trenches, in as little as 12.7 cm of clearance.
  • REED BEVEL BOSS®: Cuts a faultless weld bevel in seconds.
  • REED UNIVERSAL PIPE CUTTER (UPC): Cuts pipe up to 48 inches in diameter, fast.
  • REED PPJ PLASTIC PIPE JOINERS: Join pipe without damaging it.

Success on an infrastructure project depends on choosing the right equipment. REED technology protects investments worth billions at their weakest point.

Frequently asked questions

1. Why should REED cold cutting be preferred?

Because heat damages the structure of plastic pipe, REED preserves its seismic flexibility with mechanical cutters that generate no heat.
