Permaglass FRP Bore Casing

Permaglass FRP Bore Casing is a corrosion resistant, lightweight, and extremely strong material for lining groundwater bores, and will outlast any other material in corrosive and/or warm water conditions. In addition to the corrosion resistance, Permaglass Bore Casing has high external collapse ratings, making it suitable for very deep instalations (past 600 metres).

Cost the service life (Permaglass BORE CASING still in service now after 25 years), and installation benefits against Stainless Steel, Galvanised Steel, ABS, PVC, etc, and Permaglass is the perfect choice for aggressive bores.

SLOTTED Permaglass FRP BORE Casing is readily available, with precision machined slots evenly distributed over the length, Variable open areas are available, ranging from 0 - 4% open area.
