Besat Power generating plant with the capacity of producing 235 Megawatt is located in southern part of Tehran (The Capital of Iran). This old power generating plant went through a major overhaul recently and replacement of the old corroded carbon steel pipes which delivered water to cooling units was a part of this reconstruction. Faratec high quality GRP pipes was selected as the replacement for the corroded carbon steel piping system.

• Speed of installation was one major concerns in this overhaul. Excavation, dismantling the old carbon steel pipeline, and installation of the new GRP pipes took less than 20 days.
• The special shape of pipes connecting the feeding pumps to the main headers presented a challenge. Special shape GRP pipes had to be designed to tackle this problem.
• GRP fittings are normally fabricated using mitered sections. However because of constrains in job site and special conditions, most of the fitting were produced in one section.
• Some of old carbon steel piped were placed under the condensers structural foundations which made replacement of this damaged pipes impossible. These pipes were repaired using composite Resin/fiberglass matrix units
• Fiberglass pipes were joined to other sections of non GRP pipelines and auxiliary equipments by GRP flanges.
