Middle East and is a distributor for Conex Bänninger’s range. The valves help to maintain and manage the flow of treated water to pump stations and on into local pipelines. Delta Power Electrical is also using Conex Bänninger industrial valves for the irrigation network that will supply water for landscaping around entrances, pathways and accommodation for Expo 2020, the world fair site being developed in four phases.

Industrial and specification valves from Conex Bänninger, part of the IBP Group, are helping keep the water flowing and the landscape green at some of Dubai’s most prestigious infrastructure projects. The resilient seated gate valves, butterfly and air release valves were custom- designed by the company to cope with the arid desert conditions in the UAE.

Conex Bänninger’s industrial products are manufactured using high perfor- mance ductile iron, which is resistant to corrosion, and are specifically designed to withstand heavy use whilst meeting all appropriate industry standards and requirements. The seated gate valve is a full-bore valve that ensures low friction losses and full flow throughout the system, while air release valves operate continuously to maintain system efficiency and prevent pipeline surges.

The harsh environment required a bespoke solution. Nitin Sinha, business head for Delta Power Electrical, said, “These areas are in what would otherwise be desert but they need to be kept green, which is achieved by using treated water from the sewage and drainage network. Conex Bänninger worked with us for six to eight months, offering lots of technical advice, and have developed a custom range of products for the Dubai market because conditions are a lot harder here than in Europe.” Higher grades of metal were used to manufacture the valves, and they are supplied with a five-year warranty.
