  1. Central Florida Pipeline Corp., Tampa, FL (United States)
Not even Florida`s high water table and extensive wetlands could stop the new 16-inch products pipeline recently completed between Tampa and Orlando by Central Florida Pipeline Corp. Overcoming these hostile conditions required selecting a comprehensive corrosion-resistant technology as well as special construction techniques. Based on more than 45 years of experience with many types of coatings for a multitude of pipeline projects, coal tar enamel was specified for the portions of the project where open trench construction was to take place. The fact that coal tar enamel is approved as an internal coating for pipelines carrying potable water helped convince the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that this method of providing corrosion resistance is an environmentally acceptable pipeline coating as well.
