CUSTOMIZED PACKING FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

Due to our regular business, focused on abroad markets, we do consider to use the proper packing as a must.

As we do with our expansion joints, we also design the packing with the same level of technical detail in order to ensure the correct delivery of the material to agreed location.

At this moment, Bikar is producing expansion and dismantling joints towards the 5 continents, so complying with the packing International Standards is a regular requirement for our team members.

Depending on the project, the material is sent by Air, by Sea or by Road, so we will be adapting the wooden boxes to the chosen transport.

We would like to thank our packing suppliers for the continuous support and great service they provide to us in every single job.

Please find several pictures regarding some of the recent deliveries.

We will be looking forward to support your company in the next projects.

Bikar Quality team recently performed the agreed hydrostatic test to the requested expansion joints.

During the same, the selected expansion joints were tested according to the FSA (Fluid Sealing Association) Guidelines. That means, they were tested up to 1.5 times over design pressure (10 minutes each).

In this specific project, we tested a 10% per item witnessed by external inspector, the rest was tested internally. This is a usual requirement for this kind of high demanding water projects

The scope of the test was the following:

·DN3000 (10bar)

Once the test is successfully performed, the items design is finally approved and ready to be painted (if required) or packed in case of not having any kind of coating included.

Our clients are always more than welcome to see and check the performed test in order to validate with them the proposed design.
