A regional Ministry of Water Resources undertook an ambitious urban water supply modernization program. The initiative required producing large-diameter corrugated HDPE drainage and supply pipe on a national scale.
A local contractor was awarded a major supply contract to furnish 50,000+ linear meters of 600–800mm corrugated pipe annually, replacing aging asbestos infrastructure.
The contractor's engineers specified an SL800 after evaluating equipment from five manufacturers. Key requirements:
The SL800's proven track record in the Middle East and its integrated unwinding system made it the clear choice.
Contract awarded October 2023. Total project cost: €280,000 including installation, training, and one year of on-site technical support. Delivery scheduled for Q2 2024.
Suba shipped the SL800 in two containers, arriving on-site in May 2024. Assembly took 4 weeks, with Suba's senior technicians on-site throughout. The contractor's team completed a 3-week operator certification program in April 2024.
The machine went into production in June 2024 and achieved full capacity by August. Current performance:
| Specification | Target | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| Outer Diameter | 600–800mm | 600–800mm ±2mm |
| Wall Thickness | 3–4mm | 3.8mm ±0.1mm |
| Daily Output | 600 m | 625 m |
| Corrugation Quality | Standard | Premium |
| Uptime (trailing 3 months) | 85% | 92% |
The contractor has already received orders for 150,000+ linear meters in year one, and has begun discussions with Suba about a second line for Q2 2025.
"The SL800 exceeds every expectation. Our clients are receiving water infrastructure that will serve for 50+ years. The quality, speed, and reliability of the Suba machine is why we won this contract." — Chief Operations Officer
