KPS’ 2” (75/63 mm) conductive HDPE piping was specified for new luxury resorts in the Maldives and Seychelles as a long-term low-maintenance solution to fuel power generators and local boats while protecting the environment thanks to its easy-install, corrosion-free properties. The KPS technical team supported both projects, including the pipeline below the runway at the Seychelles resort (which was also the only way to access the island).
Key Requirements
- Protection of the environment, seas and wildlife.
- Corrosion-free piping (especially important under jetties due to the constant exposure to salt water).
- A long-term solution with minimal maintenance.
- Easy, fast installation.
- Conductive piping (to prevent electrostatic buildup).

The KPS Solution
- KPS’ 2” (75/63 mm) conductive HDPE piping proved an ideal long-term low-maintenance solution to fuel the generators and marinas at both resorts thanks to its easy-install, corrosion-free properties.
- The pipelines were installed in record time thanks to the KPS piping system’s easy-install design, minimising disruption to the islands. The Seychelles installation included on-site training by a KPS expert.
- KPS double wall piping (Maldives) provided an extra safety layer of protection to preserve the environment as well as negating the need to build concrete trenches.
- The KPS technical team supported both projects, including the pipeline below the runway at the Seychelles resort (which was also the only way to access the island).
- Like metal piping, KPS’ conductive HDPE piping prevents electrostatic buildup.
