Alwasail Industrial began as a producer of polyethylene pipes for agricultural irrigation, but soon expanded into providing pipes for a wider range of industries including drinking water, wastewater, sanitation, gas and telecoms. In addition, it offers a wide range of pipe fittings and irrigation accessories – as well as foam rubber production lines that make pipe insulation.


Product lines:


The company makes HDPE and LDPE pipe up to 1200mm in diameter. Typical products include smooth-walled pipe for applications such as water and gas transport, electrical conduits and telecoms ducts. Its potable water pipes are available in diameters of 63-160mm. Gas pipe is made from both PE100 and PE80, while industrial pipe is available in iron pipe size (IPS). Standard irrigation pipe, made from LDPE, includes a minimum 2% carbon black in order to protect against UV, while its microtube is aimed at micro-irrigation. As well as these single-walled pipe products, it also produces PP twin-walled corrugated pipe for wastewater drainage.


Factory locations:


Alwasail has five production facilities, of which three are dedicated to extrusion. One extrusion plant makes irrigation and communication pipes on 10 lines; the second plant, with 18 lines, produces communication pipe and coil-drum pipe; output at the third plant, also with 18 lines, includes pipes for water and sewage. Total extrusion capacity is around 300 tonnes/day.
