In the past, issues with pipe penetrations were not a concern. In shipyards, thick-walled metal pipes were either directly welded to the structure or connected with flange joints. However, there has been a growing demand for alternative piping systems to overcome the problems associated with conventional steel pipes, such as corrosion resistance and weight. Currently, the piping materials used in ships and offshore platforms include stainless steel, copper, CuNi, titanium, multilayer (PE-Alu-PE), thermoplastic plastics, and fiberglass reinforced plastics. *For more details on the column, please refer to the related links.

Extreme weather and rising sea levels are becoming threats to critical communication infrastructure. In recent years, hundreds of data centers around the world have required protection against flooding and inundation. Maintaining operational reliability and reducing the risk of downtime are critical challenges. Downtime incurs significant costs for business owners and operating companies. The average cost associated with data center outages amounts to $740,357. Common causes of downtime are often related to weather. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

All services, including government, banks, and hospitals, depend on data technology. In modern society, the stable operation of server halls is essential. To maintain services that play an extremely important role in society, downtime is not permitted. Therefore, data centers must be resistant to water and fire and must be energy-efficient. Before constructing a data center, it is important to first select an appropriate location. This process involves assessing the risks of extreme weather and flooding. By analyzing past data and trend forecasts, it is possible to identify areas that are more susceptible to natural disasters. However, it is important to note that flooding can occur in areas outside of flood risk zones or even with normal rainfall, and groundwater levels can also pose a problem. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

Metal cable glands have traditionally been used for sealing cables wired to cabinets. Is this the correct answer? Before addressing that, let's take a look at some significant challenges when using cable glands. When wiring cables to a cabinet, it is essential to penetrate the pre-prepared gland plate mounted on the bottom. Therefore, it is important to determine whether there is a solution that allows for sealing with a higher area efficiency. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links. Feel free to contact us for further inquiries.*

Roxtec's multiple cable entry systems provide certified protection against various risk factors. Please use them instead of cable glands. This ensures the safety of cabinets and enclosures, leading to stable operation. Let's determine the optimal cable routing and sealing in the early stages of design. To avoid risks to human life and assets, necessary instructions can be given to the on-site construction personnel. Designing with multiple cable entry systems makes it easier for contractors to ensure the highest level of protection during installation. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

A large oil, gas, or chemical plant can stop due to failures in components or equipment, resulting in significant production time loss. Therefore, it is essential to choose suppliers who understand the importance of maintaining performance levels over an extended period. For example, when selecting sealing solutions for cable and pipe penetrations, consider the following criteria: Risk reduction, ensuring operational reliability, and preparation for simple future expansions. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

Are there projects that use smart junction boxes or remote I/O? When moving an automatic control system to the field, an efficient method for sealing cable and pipe penetrations is necessary. Outdoor I/O used in oil, gas, or chemical projects means strategically placing hundreds of control cabinets rather than relying on RIE equipment located far from the site. There are advantages to being space-saving, immediately usable upon connection, and manageable with remote electronic configurations. Additionally, using equipment that has been tested in the factory and certified for use in hazardous locations throughout the project is practical. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

For those involved in large-scale oil, gas, and chemical plant projects, there is a desire to shorten design time and minimize complexity. Senior engineers at major EPC companies are beginning to effectively utilize online design tools to design the sealing treatment of cable and pipe penetrations. This tool can be used alongside major CAD systems, reducing man-hours while minimizing risks. With this design tool, it becomes possible to save a significant amount of time. There are numerous examples where the ability to bulk import and validate thousands of penetration details has reduced design man-hours from weeks to months. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

Outdoor I/O cabinets installed in plants require space-efficient solutions suitable for dense cable wiring. A single cabinet can have as many as 120 cables wired, and all of these cables need to undergo sealing processes that meet the requirements. In the case of control cabinets used for process automation in oil, gas, and chemical plants, more cables are wired compared to other cabinets. The lack of space and the drilling work for cable glands on-site can be challenging, but there are ways to address this issue. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

A flooded substation. A stopped pump. The switchgear is also malfunctioning. Do you understand the scenario? Do you want to avoid such situations? There is a way to implement the right measures from the beginning. Utility companies and maintenance contractors around the world are struggling with the intrusion of water and dust into electrical equipment, such as substation basements and control rooms. Moisture can cause partial discharge, equipment damage, switchgear failure, and even power outages that result in significant losses. Therefore, they are working hard to keep the basements dry. There is a method to eliminate risks by preventing water leakage from openings where cables and pipes penetrate through proper sealing. *For more detailed information, please refer to the related links.

Did you know that 85 out of 100 failures that hinder the operation of substations are related to partial discharge (PD)? This is a fact stated by EA Technology, a power asset specialist. PD occurs within or on the surface of the insulating materials of substation equipment. It is a progressive process that leads to insulation breakdown, carbonization, and ultimately flashover or explosion. The worst-case scenario is damage to the power equipment, which is an asset. Power outages resulting from this can affect essential functions in society, causing power suppliers to lose $650,000 per day. *For more details, you can view the related links.
