Leeds Seacroft: How PLX Pipework Improved Safety & Reduced Maintenance
Replacing Corroded Pipework with Durable Polyethylene - (Tesco Forecourt, Leeds Seacroft).
Client
At the Leeds
Seacroft forecourt, Berrys
Technologies led a
comprehensive infrastructure renewal project to replace ageing, corroded fuel
pipework with a high-integrity, low-maintenance solution. The project involved
the rapid installation of over 900
metres of PLX dual-contained polyethene pipework, replacing the original steel pipes and
threaded connectors that had become susceptible to corrosion and joint failure.
To support
the upgrade, Berrys’
retro chambers were
installed in place of the damaged fibreglass chambers, restoring full ground-level containment functionality. Additionally, Retro Mono chambers were welded, ensuring a durable, sealed
installation that reduces long-term maintenance and enhances environmental
protection.
This
solution improved both safety and operational reliability across the site by
delivering:
Corrosion-free
fuel transfer infrastructure, extending
asset lifespan
Reduced
risk of leakage, thanks to
fully welded, dual-contained assemblies
Minimal
downtime during installation, with
efficient modular deployment
By
integrating advanced materials with proven engineering practices, Berrys Technologies once again demonstrated its capability to
modernise ageing forecourt systems, ensuring regulatory compliance, environmental
safety, and long-term operational resilience for leading fuel retailers like
Tesco.
