Mining Application
We provide engineered reinforced thermoplastic (RTP) pipeline systems designed specifically for mining operations, where reliability, chemical resistance, and rapid deployment are essential. Our systems have been successfully used in some of the most demanding mining regions in the world — from open-pit operations and processing facilities to deep-site dewatering and tailings transport networks.
FPS RTP pipelines perform across the full range of mining applications, including:
Tailings transport and return lines
Process water distribution and recovery systems
Heap-leach and solution irrigation networks
Acid mine drainage (AMD) collection and neutralization circuits
Mine dewatering and groundwater management
Slurry transport with high-density solids content
Backfill and paste distribution systems
Chemical transfer lines for reagents, pH control and neutralization agents
Reclaimed water and environmental containment lines
Rehabilitation of aging steel pipelines and legacy process circuits
Each system is engineered to handle high internal pressures, elevated temperatures, abrasive flow conditions and chemically aggressive environments. FPS RTP products resist corrosion, abrasion, and fatigue while maintaining full structural integrity under cyclic load. Installation flexibility is key to our success. Whether the system is surface mounted for easy inspection, buried for protection, or installed via horizontal directional drilling (HDD) across challenging terrain, we deliver dependable solutions that reduce both CAPEX and downtime. Rehabilitation projects are also a major focus.
We retrofit existing steel and HDPE pipelines using RTP liners or full replacement systems, extending asset life while eliminating corrosion and maintenance issues. With rapid reel-based installation, lightweight handling, and minimal joining requirements, FPS mining pipelines can be installed in a fraction of the time compared to steel, while achieving superior long-term performance.
Stronger than steel. Lighter in weight. Corrosion-proof at the core. FPS RTP systems are the new standard for mining pipeline performance and reliability.
