These photos were provided by a customer and were taken at a large-diameter pipeline construction site in North Africa.
The equipment used on site is our Welping WP1600A butt fusion machine system.
For us, feedback from real construction sites like this is especially valuable. These images are not taken in a demonstration or test environment—they document the machine after it has been put into actual engineering use.
In the butt fusion welding industry, “1600” is a specification with a very clear meaning.
While many manufacturers mainly cover machines up to 1200, far fewer are able to put 1600-class equipment into stable, real-world engineering applications.
Within our large-diameter product range, which currently extends up to 1800, the WP1600A is one of the models that has already entered real construction projects.
Based on the photos shared by the customer, we can confirm that the WP1600A is not limited to specifications or project proposals.
It has been deployed as a complete butt fusion welding system in a real large-diameter pipeline project.
In this application, the full system—including the machine frame, facer, heating plate, and hydraulic unit—was used to carry out the complete butt fusion welding process required for large-diameter pipelines. This is exactly the type of application the WP1600A is designed for.
We share this customer field case to help more readers clearly see one thing:
The WP1600A has already been used in real large-diameter engineering projects and has participated in construction in a fully engineering-oriented manner.
This set of on-site photos from a North African customer documents the real application of the Welping WP1600A in a large-diameter pipeline project and reflects our continued practical experience in large-size butt fusion welding equipment.
