Pipe’xperience!
The Amiantit group is the leading organisation in the development of technologies for pipe fabrication and water management systems thanks to its experience and practical competence, its product range, its presence at regional and international level and its industrial and service structures dedicated to the development fluid transportation applications going back over 40 years.
The Amiantit Group is currently present in over 70 countries with 29 pipe fabrication plants, 6 companies dedicated to technological product development, 9 water management and engineering companies and 4 companies producing raw materials.
Amiantit's slogan connecting the world with its future, sums up its commitment to offering sustainable solutions for the transportation of fluids and so improving our quality of life.
Operating within the activity of Amiantit Pipe Systems (the Amiantit Group's pipe fabrication branch) is the AMITECH brand, which encompasses FGRP pipe and fittings fabrication plants throughout the world.
For over a quarter of a century, AMITECH has been playing a key role in perfecting glass fibre reinforced polyester pipes, developing new products and fabrication technologies which enhance the quality and reliability of its products.
AMITECH started its operations in Spain in 1994 with a fabrication plant at Camarles (Tarragona).
HUMAN RESOURCES: AMITECH'S STRONGEST ASSET
None of this would have been possible without our highly-qualified teams. AMITECH's strongest asset is its people. Over 200 people make up our teams of professionals, specialists in each area. Their efforts make Pipe’xperience possible. Professionals from different departments, from different countries... AMITECH's people.
AMITECH's sales network is attentive to our customers' needs. The technical department monitors projects and is there to assist the customer from the study phase through to its completion. The quality control, production and R&D departments pursue AMITECH's values of innovation and efficiency. The logistics department coordinates and plans all operations.
All our departments work in collaboration as an integral part of our customer care.
FLOWTITE FGRP pipe systems are in widespread use, gaining ground over traditional materials. Their technical functionality, safety, ease of installation and low maintenance costs make FLOWTITE FGRP pipes and fittings the solution of choice, no longer just one of many alternatives. And that's because AMITECH's advanced technology is so persuasive!
Their lightness, corrosion resistance and fabrication to strict quality standards set FLOWTITE glass fibre reinforced polyester pipes apart. AMITECH's composite is present in all types of application. irrigation, drinking water supply, drainage and industry.
FLOWTITE FGRP pipes combine the high mechanical strength of fibre glass with the resin's corrosion resistance. Furthermore, they withstand a wide range of temperatures and working pressures. These properties make AMITECH's FGRP pipe systems the best solution for fluid conduction in the most extreme conditions of use.

FABRICATION
FLOWTITE pipes have an exclusive structural design, allowing for diameters of up to DN4000 and pressures of up to 32bar.
Validated by long-term testing, optimum results are obtained with the FLOWTITE fabrication process: high-performing pipes at the lowest cost.
The continuous mandrel advancing fabrication process is unique in that it uses resin and two types of glass fibre reinforcement (continuous and choppable roving) to achieve tangential and axial resistance. Ultra-pure silica sand is also used at the core, close to the neutral axis, to strengthen the laminate and increase the pipe's rigidity.
The FLOWTITE fabrication process guarantees perfect curing of the pipe thanks to close monitoring of all the variables which might affect the process.

COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
AMITECH has always included commitment to quality and customer satisfaction among its objectives. To achieve this, AMITECH works to a Quality Management system which complies with standard UNE EN ISO 9001:00; it is ECA certified and also holds ISO 14001 certification. With the implementation of the Environmental Management System, AMITECH is aiming to achieve the maximum in energy efficiency for its FGRP pipe systems.
In the areas of product development and standardisation, AMITECH offers products which conform to the full range of regulatory standards, both Spanish and international. AMITECH is closely involved in the world's most influential Standardisation organisations, including the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Committee for European Standardisation (CEN).

FLOWTITE COUPLINGS
When two FLOWTITE pipes meet, they are joined for life. FLOWTITE joints are high-quality precision joints.
Standard joints using a FLOWTITE FGRP coupling with a double elastomer rubber retention ring ensure a perfect seal. These joints are designed and tested in conformity with standard ASTM D4161, tested at twice the design pressure to guarantee hermeticity for the lifetime of the pipe.
FLOWTITE couplings allow pipes of a wide range of diameters and pressures to be fitted together. FLOWTITE's joints, perfect joints for the long-term.
DRINKING WATER
FLOWTITE pipe systems offer the safest and securest means of transporting drinking water, thus making a direct contribution to improving quality of life in our society.
Our pipe systems are used for water transportation pipelines as well as in water treatment and desalination plants.
Its exclusive fabrication process ensures that FLOWTITE meets the requirements of the CDP (Construction Products Directive) which stipulates that construction materials must not alter the quality of water intended for human consumption. In addition, AMITECH pipes are ACS certified. This is the Certificate of Health Compliance issued by the Laboratoire Santé Environnement Hygiène in Lyon, which has the authorisation of the French Ministry of Health.
IRRIGATION
FLOWTITE pipes are an essential ally in irrigation projects across the world. Its performance, in terms of installation as well as operation and maintenance, guarantees the best return on investment.
FLOWTITE pipes are widely used in main and secondary pipelines, in addition to high-pressure and large diameter delivery pipes. In the last decade, their use has expanded to a global scale.
The sustainable management of water is vital for the health of our planet. Irrigation systems currently suffer losses of 25%. AMITECH, with its Environmental Management System, promotes efficient irrigation policies by ensuring that distribution ducts for irrigation systems are completely watertight.
DRAINAGE
AMITECH provides an integral system for drainage networks with or without pressure, guaranteeing the highest level of efficiency in the construction and operation of waste water networks.
AMITECH has developed all the elements which are essential for modern drainage networks, such as totally sealed manholes, branches, elbows, transitions to pipes made of different materials, separators etc.
The AMISTORM TANK range of storm tanks adapts existing networks to the new rainwater purification requirements in the most efficient way, helping to prevent the devastating floods which hit many regions of the planet. The most reliable system working to save the environment.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
AMITECH pipes are used in a wide variety of industrial applications: from large-diameter water intake and discharge pipelines to the internal circuits of industrial plants.
Their corrosion resistance without the need for additional protection, the available temperature and working pressure ranges, their ease of installation and low maintenance costs have extended the use of FLOWTITE FGRP pipes to all sectors in which they are called for because of corrosion or special fluid transportation needs.
