Water Distribution Networks
Robust steel pipe systems for potable water transmission, irrigation, and wastewater collection networks.
Overview
Municipal water authorities and agricultural developers rely on JO STEEL for large-diameter welded and seamless steel pipes that deliver decades of reliable service in potable water transmission, irrigation distribution, and wastewater collection systems. Our pipes are manufactured to international drinking water standards with corrosion-resistant coatings and linings.
The Challenge
Water distribution networks demand pipes with superior corrosion resistance, long service life, and compliance with stringent health and safety standards for potable water contact, often installed in challenging soil conditions.
Our Solution
JO STEEL supplies carbon steel pipes with internal cement mortar lining (CML) or fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) lining for potable water, combined with external polyethylene or bitumen coating for soil-side corrosion protection. We support large-scale municipal and irrigation projects with comprehensive technical documentation and logistics coordination.
Key Features & Capabilities
- Internal cement mortar lining (CML) or FBE for drinking water compliance
- External PE or bitumen coating for cathodic protection
- Hydrostatic testing per AWWA C200 and EN 10224
- Available in diameters from 4" to 120" (DN 100 – DN 3000)
- Full compliance with NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water contact
- Project-specific cut lengths and beveling
