Diverse Application Sectors
uPVC pressure pipes manufactured by Sri Balaji Plastics in Zambia serve multiple sectors across the country's economy:
Water Supply Systems:
The primary application of uPVC pressure pipes is in potable water distribution networks, both for municipal systems and community water projects. The pipes' corrosion resistance and smooth interior surface that prevents scaling make them ideal for maintaining water quality over decades of service
Agricultural Irrigation:
Zambia's agricultural sector relies on efficient water distribution systems for irrigation. uPVC pipes offer lightweight, durable solutions that resist chemical degradation from fertilizers and soil conditions.
Mining Industry:
Zambia's copper mining industry requires extensive piping systems for water management in mining operations. uPVC's resistance to corrosion makes it suitable for handling mine water that often contains dissolved minerals and acids.
Industrial Applications:
Most industries require various piping systems for water services and auxiliary applications where uPVC pipes provide cost-effective solutions.
Economic Impact and Local Value Addition
The establishment of uPVC pipe manufacturing in Zambia represents significant value addition to the local economy. Rather than importing finished pipes, local manufacturing:
- Creates employment opportunities across technical, operational, and administrative functions
- Develops technical skills in plastic processing and manufacturing
- Reduces foreign exchange expenditure on imports
- Potentially generates export revenue by serving neighboring markets
- Supports downstream industries including construction, plumbing, and infrastructure development
