3.1 ZINALIUM® Coating

ZINALIUM® is a corrosion protection system, based on a zinc and aluminium alloy in the

mass ratio of 85 to 15. The alloy is drawn into a wire, which feeds an electric arc where it is

melted and blown onto the as-cast surface of the pipe by high-pressure air. The alloying

ensures the intimate mixing of zinc and aluminium and the resulting microstructure optimises

the spatial distribution of the zinc in the coating, maximising corrosion protection. The

minimum coating application thickness is 400g/m2.

3.2 Pore Sealer

A pore sealer (synthetic paint) is applied to the as sprayed zinc-aluminium coating to a

minimum thickness of 100m. The pore sealer inhibits corrosion of the zinc-aluminium and

helps to trap any galvanic corrosion products. These corrosion products are insoluble and

help build a barrier that further inhibits corrosion. Pore sealers are blue for drinking water

and red for sewage. Where small quantities of pipe are required for recycled water

applications a lilac coloured sleeving is recommended for identification purposes. Where

large quantities are required, a lilac coloured pore sealer would be utilised.


COPYRIGHT

3.3 Seal Coating

A bituminous seal coat may be specified for cement mortars on HYDROCLASS® ZINALIUM®.

Seal coats are applied to the requirements of AS/NZS 2280 and ISO 16132.

The intended purpose of the seal coat is to reduce the contact between the cement mortar

lining and the contents of the water main, thereby restricting lime leaching and consequent

high pH levels in supply when conveying soft (i.e. low carbonate alkalinity) water, especially

where flow rates are low and residence times are lengthy.

Consideration should be given to the use of seal coatings where the total alkalinity of the

water being conveyed is less than 30 mg/L.

4 SCOPE OF THE APPRAISAL

7 LIFE EXPECTANCY OF DI PIPE

7.1 Linings

Cement mortar lining is considered to be the default internal protection system for potable

and recycled water applications.

Seal coating may be applied over cement mortar lining. The intended purpose of a seal

coating is to reduce the contact between the cement mortar lining and the contents of the

water main, thereby restricting lime leaching and consequent high pH levels when conveying

soft (i.e. low carbonate alkalinity) water, especially in small diameter pipelines where flow

rates are low and residence times are lengthy.

AS/NZS 2280 suggests that consideration should be given to the use of seal coatings where

the total alkalinity of the water being conveyed is less than 30 mg/L.

Many Australian water utilities specify seal coatings as mandatory for pipes up to and

including DN 300.

Calcium aluminate cement mortar linings are intended for aggressive water applications and

are typically used in gravity and pressure sewerage mediums with pH between 4 and 12. For

applications outside of this pH range consideration should be given to polymeric lining


COPYRIGHT

systems. Calcium Aluminate Cement is not AS/NZS 4020 compliant and is therefore not

suitable for potable water applications.

WSA Technical Note 6 - Guidelines for the use of cement mortar linings in sewerage

applications provides details of operating limits for different cements used for the cement

mortar lining of DI and steel pipes for sewers. It reviews literature with regard to the use of

cement mortar lining for sewerage conveyance and in particular focuses on the prime water

chemistry constituents that need to be considered viz. sulphate(SO4), pH, and hydrogen

sulphide (H2S) (which can be transformed to sulphuric acid). A copy of WSA Technical Note

6 is available for download from the WSAA website.

Polyurethane linings may also be considered for aggressive medium applications.

7.2 Coatings

The majority of Australian Water Agencies have adopted a policy of specifying loose

polyethylene sleeving (LPS) for all ductile iron pipes as a corrosion protection measure,

unless specialised coatings such as polyurethane or polyethylene, for example, are

employed. Properly installed LPS provides a high degree of corrosion protection by creating

a passive uniform environment around the pipe and limiting oxygen exposure. LPS should

be installed in accordance with AS 3681 and only accredited pipe layers trained in the

application of sleeving should be utilised.

The need for LPS depends on the type of soil and the required service life of the pipeline.

Ductile iron pipes may be buried without extra external protection in soils that are not

aggressive. In soils that are aggressive, and where either the time or the cost of soil

assessment is prohibitive, LPS is the recommended solution.

The application of zinc coatings has not historically been utilised on ductile iron pipes in

Australia, although they have been used in Europe for more than 60 years. Zinc coatings are

now provided in Australia as a standard offering with 200 g/m2 thickness complete with a

finishing layer and are considered to enhance the external corrosion benefits of pipe in buried

applications. In some soil applications it is considered acceptable to install zinc coated pipes

without polyethylene sleeving.

Enhancements to zinc coatings are also available where 85/15 Zinc-Aluminium alloy, copper

enhanced Zinc-Aluminium alloy and rare earth element enhanced Zinc-Aluminium alloys are

offered with 400 g/m2 thickness complete with a finishing layer. It is reported that these

coatings provide improved corrosion protection over standard zinc coating and allows for

installation in a wider range of soils, without the need for sleeving.

EN 545 nominates that DI pipes with zinc coating of 200 g/m2 thickness and min 100m thick

finishing layer or enhanced zinc alloy coating with 400 g/m2 thickness and min 100m thick

finishing layer can be buried without sleeving except:

For Zinc coatings

- soils with a resistivity less than 1500 Ω cm when laid above the water table, or less than

2500 Ω cm when laid below the water table

- mixed soils i.e. comprising two or more soil natures

- soils with a pH below 6 and a high reserve of acidity

- soils containing refuse, cinders, slags or polluted by wastes or industrial effluents

- areas where there are stray currents

For Zinc-Aluminium or enhanced Zinc-Aluminium alloys

- acidic peaty soils

- soils containing refuse, cinders, slag or polluted by wastes or industrial effluents


COPYRIGHT

- soils below the marine water table with a resistivity lower than 500 Ω cm,

- areas where there are stray currents

EN 545 also advises that evidence of the long-term performance of the above-mentioned

solution (e.g. tests and references) should be provided by the manufacturer .

It should be noted however that there has been no proven experience or data to support the

extrapolation of European experience to Australian conditions and environments. It is

considered imperative that testing be undertaken to ensure that the soil environment meets

any necessary pre-conditions.

Manufacturers should be consulted for life expectancy estimates.

Refer to Appendix D for the manufacturers life expectancy estimates for the DI pipe

considered in this Appraisal.

8 FITTING INSTRUCTIONS, TRAINING AND INSTALLATION

8.1.1 Installation instructions

Installation methods for DI pipes are generally in accordance with AS/NZS 2566 Buried

flexible pipelines Part 2: ‘Installation’. The standard specifies the requirements for the

installation, field testing and commissioning of buried flexible pipelines with structural design

in accordance with AS/NZS 2566.1. Saint-Gobain also offers a comprehensive range of

literature.

8.1.2 Availability of ductile iron fittings

A complete range of ductile iron bends, tees, reducers and flange-spigot pieces, etc. are

available from Viadux and other suppliers in sizes DN 100 to DN 750.

8.1.3 Tapped connections

HYDROCLASS® ZINALIUM®, INTEGRAL® ZINALIUM® and Flange Class ductile iron pipe

can be direct tapped but may require either a tapping band, flanged off take clamp or pre-

tapped connector, depending on the pressure class, diameter and off -take of the branch

required. Most agencies specify the use a tapping band, flanged off take or a pre-tapped

connector when tapping into a DI pipe.

Specialist contractors should be used when tapping mains under pressure.

NOTE: The Water Agency’s requirements for “dry” or “under-pressure” tapping should be outlined in

the Specification.

Electrical insulation of copper water service pipes and fire services to ductile iron is

recommended to prevent galvanic corrosion and for safety reasons.

8.1.4 Under pressure cut-in connections

The under pressure cut-in performed according to the method described in WSA 03:2011

Appendix C – Under Pressure Cut-In-Connections to Pressure Pipe ≥ DN 80 has proved to

be satisfactory.

Mechanical flanged off-take clamps complying AS 4181:2013 Repair and off-take clamps for

water industry purposes is recommended.

9 MAINTENANCE

A range of mechanical couplings and repair clamps to suit HYDROCLASS® and INTEGRAL®

pipes are readily available.
