Durapipe PLX fuels 1000th Forecourt

22/01/2010

We are delighted to report an important milestone, as our PLX brand has been installed on our 1,000th forecourt project with one of the UK’s leading forecourt suppliers, D.Berry & Co. Ltd this month.



A motorway service station and hotel project in Beaconsfield marked the impressive landmark, with Durapipe PLX Secondary Containment pipework being used within the service station on site to transfer fuel from the underground storage tanks to the forecourt fuel pumps.

D.Berry & Co. Ltd is a leading distributer of a wide variety of service station equipment extending from Durapipe PLX pipework to pump stands, offset fill and vent frames, vapour recovery and overfill prevention equipment, pollution control, monitoring wells, manhole covers and the highly successful ATLAS range of products.

Durapipe UK is the preferred fuel pipework manufacturer for the forecourt supplier because our market leading PLX system offers the ultimate in combining durability with performance. The range is manufactured in a robust Polyethylene material, which provides exceptional resistance to rapid crack propagation and long term stress cracking, whilst a visible Polyamide liner allows increased resistance to all types of fuel blends, ensuring there is no permeation of fuel through to the atmosphere.

Having worked with Durapipe UK for many years to provide service stations and supermarkets with Durapipe PLX Secondary Containment and Single Wall pipework for either pressure or suction systems to safely transfer fuel from underground tanks to the fuel pumps, this milestone demonstrates the successful relationship that Durapipe holds with D.Berry & Co. Ltd.

Tom Hocking, Operations Director at D.Berry and Co. Ltd commented: “The quality and performance of Durapipe PLX products, combined with the service from the technical and support team, has always been exceptional and key to our successful relationship.

“We initially chose to utilise Durapipe UK as our pipework supplier for its forward thinking when it comes to product development – something that we continue to be impressed by. We also felt that it was important to work with a UK supplier in order to promote buying British.”
