We are part of the Al Jaber Establishment (AJE), a regional conglomerate with more than 62,000 employees with interests in a multitude of businesses from aviation to steel works to construction.
The factory focuses on engineered pipes and piping system products for water distribution, water transmission lines, drainage, sewer systems, irrigation, oil and gas, petrochemical plants, desalination and power generation plants. With a total area of 100,000 sqm there is a production area of 22,000 sqm, three production lines for continuous winding process and six for dual helical winding process. The production capacity is 35,000 tons of pipes and fittings per annum with a production range of 50 to 3,000 mm diameter. According to the type of resin used, pipes can be classified as GRP (glass reinforced polyester), GRE (glass reinforced epoxy), or GRV (glass reinforced vinyl ester). Supported by dedicated staff and the latest technology, the quality control laboratory carries out chemical, mechanical and physical property testing and evaluation as well as in line quality control of GRP pipes.
The facility is one of the regions leading manufacturers of filament wound reinforced thermosetting resin pipes and fittings. Technology and material expertise ensure the supply of high performance corrosion resistant fiberglass reinforced plastic pipes and fittings and GRP pipes manufactured using continuous filament winding and dual helical filament winding methods.
The engineering and design department produces the required drafting and pipe network shop drawings and, using the most advanced computer programs, conducts stress analysis for above and below ground piping systems.
Al Jaber Glass Roving and GRP Pipe Factory has ambitious future expansion plans, currently our focus is on civil and industrial infrastructure projects supporting our affiliated construction companies and other key regional partners.
