AVK delivered more than 500 above-ground fire hydrants and gate valves to the project
Our series 27 hydrants certified with UL/FM approvals were selected in close consultation with ProRail, the company responsible for the complete Dutch railway infrastructure and managing fire protection systems across industrial areas in the port of Rotterdam. These hydrants are of premium materials, specifically designed for harsh and corrosive environments. Stem and coupling are in stainless steel 318, pins in Inconel 718 and coating adheres to GSK standards and includes a UV-resistant topcoat. Furthermore, all pressure tests are conducted at 35 bar according to UL/FM guidelines.AVK gate valves for the project are with aluminium bronze stem and parts in stainless steel 316 for highest durability. The fusion bonded epoxy coating applied according to GSK regulations ensures optimum corrosion protection, and the wedge is fully vulcanised with AVK's own rubber compound.
