Record Year For Snowmaking Pipes!

2022 was not only a record year for the production and sales of snow producers, like the fan snow producer TT10 with 730 units manufactured, but also for ductile iron snowmaking pipes! For all the 2022 projects, TechnoAlpin has sold 230km of pipes. This represents 9000 tons of ductile iron shipped to customer sites worldwide to build snowmaking systems.
 
Beyond illustrating the strong dynamism of the snowmaking market for TechnoAlpin in 2022, the volume sold last year is a clear sign that customers recognize the high quality and long-lasting performance of snowmaking ductile iron pipes offered by TechnoAlpin.
 
Indeed, for the water supply of its snowmaking projects, TechnoAlpin has chosen to work with the best quality product and offers cast iron pipes from the world leader of ductile pipes manufacturing, Saint Gobain PAM. They have developed pipes specifically for snowmaking water supply, taking into consideration the specific issues related to the design and construction of water systems in mountainous areas: terrain shapes, soil nature, water supply requirement in terms of flow and pressure etc. High quality, durability, ease of installation and reliability are part of the features offered by the ductile iron pipes used by TechnoAlpin.
 
The mechanical properties of the ductile cast iron make it the most appropriate solution for snowmaking water supply: highly resistant to external force, to internal pressure, ductile cast iron pipes allow also for a great level of lay-out flexibility thanks to the specific design of the elastomer joint system that yields an important angular reflection. It’s very easy to follow the terrain shape while saving on fittings. Indeed, ductile cast iron pipes are easy to install thanks to the sliding socket joint system, and the job does not require any welding work on site, making for fast and smooth installation.
 
Always offering the best and most advanced solutions to ski resort operators and lift companies, that’ s the philosophy of TechnoAlpin.
