Haydale Graphene Industries Awarded Contract Extension By National Grid

Haydale Composite Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Haydale Graphene Industries plc, has been awarded a £310,000 contract extension by National Grid to design and develop 14 different Gas Transition Piece (GTP) solutions for seven different pipeline diameters from 300-1050mm and for two end conditions.

Haydale Composite Solutions was previously contracted by National Grid to design and develop a lightweight Composite GTP used to provide a support and seal around steel gas transmission pipelines passing through supporting concrete walls, and has also completed a series of R&D contracts with National Grid to develop the solution for 900 mm diameter pipelines. The company’s GTP design concept also won the second place innovation award at the National Grid Chairman’s Awards in Boston, MA.

After completion, the GTP solution will be rolled out across the entire gas transmission mains network in the UK.
