Incomat^® Pipeline Cover

Efficient, quick-to-install system to protect pipelines against buoyancy, uplift and external actions.

Incomat Pipeline Cover (IPC) can be used wherever pipelines require protection against mechanical impacts or buoyancy uplift. The IPC system sets itself apart from concrete encasements installed with conventional formwork systems through its fast, efficient application. Factory prefabrication of the geotextile formwork eliminates the need for any elaborate shuttering on site. The fact that the tailored units allow rapid assembly and optimise the concreting operation also helps to speed up the progress of the works. Furthermore, pipeline bends and varying pipe diameters can be readily accommodated by means of suitable planning and custom-manufacture.
