ALFA Upgrades Inc. is developing a unique technology that minimizes the risk of pipeline rupture in areas susceptible to permanent ground movements caused by natural forces such as earthquakes, slope failures, downhill creeps, fault slips, etc.
This is an economic and high-performance solution that increases pipes capacity to endure large magnitudes of gradual or rapid displacement of any pattern (axial, lateral and vertical). This technology  has an in-built monitoring system that measures and reports the pipe deformation in real-time.
This solution includes case specific engineering (study and design), fabrication and installation of novel Geobuffer elements alongside the pipe.
Implementing this technology improves safety and reliability of underground pipelines in both new pipeline construction and existing pipeline upgrades.
