Different pipe sizes call for appropriately sized fusion equipment. Photos shared by a customer in Kenya show several Welping butt fusion machines in use on an HDPE pipeline project.
With multiple Welping models in their fleet, the customer can choose equipment to match the pipe dimensions and planned site work.
Multiple Machines for On-Site Pipe Joining
In an open outdoor work area, the crew is carrying out pipe joining operations. The machine frame, hydraulic power unit, heating plate, and facer are arranged beside the pipeline, creating a working area for on-site fusion.
Another view shows the customer’s 450 model beside HDPE pipes laid out along an excavated trench. From the smaller machine to the 450 model, the available equipment gives the team options for handling different pipe diameters.
The photos also show HDPE flanged pipe assemblies. Pipe sections are butt-fused to stub ends, with backing rings providing a means of connecting to valves, equipment, or other flanged interfaces.
Together, these images capture different aspects of HDPE pipeline installation—from the crew working beside the pipeline to the details of the pipe connections. They offer a direct look at how the customer uses Welping equipment in everyday construction work.
We thank our customer in Kenya for their trust and for sharing these site photos.
