Island Resorts,
Maldives & Seychelles

World famous luxury island resorts in the Maldives & Seychelles upgrade to KPS piping to protect the environment

KPS’ conductive HDPE piping was specified for new luxury resorts in the Maldives and Seychelles to fuel power generators and local boats while protecting the environment. In the Maldives, KPS double wall piping replaced the existing carbon steel which had significant issues with corrosion and was time-consuming to install, in part due to local regulations requiring it to be installed in concrete trenches.

Corrosion and rust of carbon steel fuel piping is an issue for island resorts like these. Yearly inspection, repairs, and pipe replacements are required, with significant associated costs

Key requirements

  • Protection of the environment, seas and wildlife.
  • Corrosion-free piping (especially important under jetties due to the constant exposure to salt water).
  • A long-term solution with minimal maintenance, unlike the existing carbon steel piping.
  • Easy, fast installation.
  • Conductive piping (to prevent electrostatic build up).

The KPS solution

  • KPS’ 2” conductive HDPE piping proved an ideal long-term low-maintenance solution to fuel the generators and marinas at both resorts thanks to its easy-install, corrosion-free properties.
  • The pipelines were installed in record time thanks to the KPS piping system’s easy-install design, minimising disruption to the islands (unlike previous carbon steel piping installations). The Seychelles installation included on-site training by a KPS expert.
  • KPS double wall piping (Maldives) provided an extra safety layer of protection to preserve the environment as well as negating the need to build concrete trenches.
  • The KPS technical team supported both projects, including the pipeline below the runway at the Seychelles resort (which was also the only way to access the island).
  • Like metal piping, KPS’ conductive HDPE piping prevents electrostatic build up.
