High pressure equipment for
Mozambique contract
PIPE Center is supplying specialist
pipes, fittings and valves for use in
mobile emergency response fire fighting
systems manufactured by Hawkes Fire.
In the latest contract, Pipe Center
supplied themanufacturer with Schedule
40 steel pipe, fittings and JET valves for
use in fire fighting, pump trailers, foam
proportioner systems, foam trailers and
storage systems for a petrochemical
plant in Mozambique.
Equipment for the contract, which has
been shipped, includes a foam system

fire fighting equipment. The high pressure

of water within the foam system, in order
to generate the large volumes required to

equipment is being used to replace and
upgrade facilities at the plant. In a second
project, Pipe Center is supplying pipe,
valves and high pressure couplings for
use in two large fire fighting pump trailer
units for deployment at an oil refinery in
the Middle East.
Andy Hawkes, managing director of
Hawkes Fire, said, “We have a long-
standing relationship with Pipe Center
which goes back several years. They are
competitive and give excellent service in
terms of stocking and technical support.
We pride ourselves in producing high
quality, proven equipment that can be
trusted to perform in the event of an
emergency. This in turn depends on the
components and materials we use in its
manufacture.”
