and environmental protection. FPI
was the first manufacturing company
in the Middle East to be awarded the
service quality certification Kitemark
accreditation, which is most frequently used to identify products
where safety is paramount.

Research and development
Lightweight, resistant to internal and external
corrosion and able to operate in temperatures
up to 120°C, The Red Box® casing and tubing
pipe system is a machine made composite
material created and manufactured by Future
Pipe Industries (FPI).

ing international standards. Using
the latest technology, FPI offers the
largest and most versatile large-diameter glass fibre pipe product range
in the market today. With diameters
ranging from 12 mm up to 4,000
mm and an ability to withstand huge
pressures of up to 3000 psi, these
glass fibre composite non-corrosive
pipe systems can transport water, oil,
gas and petrochemicals including
H2S.
The company's promise of excellence has led to an impressive list
of accreditations and certifications
by major independent international
bodies in the fields of safety, quality

Having produced enough pipes to
circle the globe more than 4 times,
FPI is a worldwide trendsetter in
pipe engineering and manufacturing.
Since its incorporation in 1984, the
company has pioneered the conversion of pipe demand into glass fibre
and has a long history of technological breakthroughs, including the inhouse development of world-leading
technologies.
FPI continues to push the boundaries, investing in product research
and development carried out at
its state-of-the-art laboratories in
the Netherlands and the UAE. Its
engineers persevere to anticipate the
needs of the constantly evolving pipe
market and always strive to push the
boundaries of pipes in terms of temperature, pressure and diameter.

A booming sector
The demand for high-quality glass
fibre pipes is booming. Driven by the
ever-growing need for energy and water resources, the global pipe market
is expanding rapidly. At the forefront
of this growth is the evolution to
glass fibre, led by Future Pipe Industries (FPI). For every newborn baby,
2 more meters of pipes are needed.
Today's pipe market is worth approximately US$130 billion with an
estimated growth of 5% per annum.
With the demand for glass fibre
outpacing traditional pipe materials,
2015 forecasts put the total global
pipe requirement at an incredible 31
billion meters.
With a resolute belief in glass fibre as
the ultimate pipe material of the future, FPI has been a driving force in
the penetration of glass fibre around
the world, strongly contributing to
its incredible rate of growth, which is
50% higher than alternative materials. n

For over 30 years, Wavistrong™ pipe systems have been successfully installed throughout the world
under the most corrosive and demanding conditions.

Fiberstrong™ is a corrosion-resistant pipe system which can be used in a wide range of applications
for both aboveground and underground installations.

From airports to power plants, FPI
has successfully delivered numerous
international mega-projects such as
Qatar's Ras Laffan Industrial City,
the world's largest single project in
glass fibre pipes with 80 kilometres of DN 3450mm pipes installed
above ground. Using its proprietary Fiberstrong™ technology, the
company manufactured and supplied
the above-ground and underground
seawater cooling lines, fire water,
drinking water and chlorination pipe
systems for the project.
