Marine Applications

 

N. Sguassero has been involved for over 20 years in the design, supply and installation / supervision of fiberglass pipelines on board commercial and passenger vessels.

N. Sguassero's Customers, either Owners or Shipyards, are established all over the world and particularly in Europe, Italy, America, the Middle East and Far East. FINCANTIERI Yards in Italy have installed a variety of Sguassero Pipework on over 60 new buildings for various Owners including P&O, Carnival Corporation and Costa Crociere. Sguassero also supplies piping to Yards in Spain (IZAR - former A.E.S.A, Naval Gijon, Juliana Constructora, Factiorias Vulcano, Astillero de Cadiz and Union Naval de Valencia), in Japan (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Sumitomo Heavy Industries), in P.R. of China (Dalian and Dalian New Shipyard) and in Croatia (Brodosplit and Uljanik) on regular basis. Further details on request.

 
N. Sguassero materials are all covered by "Type Approval Certificates" (see Marine Certificates) issued by the following Class Societies:
  • A.B.S.

  • N.K.
  • R.I.N.A
  • R.M.R.S.
 
Fiberglass piping is used in various systems such as water ballast, stripping, cargo systems, ventilation, inert gas, tank cleaning, cooling water systems, evaporators discharge and fire systems, swimming pools, etc. and in accordance to "IMO RESOLUTION A.753(18)”.
The products are conductive, non-conductive, and/or "IMO L3" fire resistantand and are manufactured with isophtalic or vinylester resins; the pressure classes available are NP 6-10-16-20 Bar (additional ones upon request) for piping systems installed outside tanks and External Pressure of 1,5 ÷ 3,5 Bar (additional ones upon request) for use inside tanks.

N. Sguassero supplies pre-fabricated systems, where each component (spool piece) is designed, manufactured and tested with the aim to eliminate any specialistic intervention at the Yard; the Company undertakes the “RESPONSABILITY’ of the design and supports the Yard in the study of the best and cheapest solutions, guarantees the life of the systems with the design of the relevant supports (quite important due to the movements and stresses of the hull), with a detailed "stress analysis” and with the eventual direct supervision of the installation at the Yard with skilled personnel.
