PTT’s ORIGIN

During November 2005 a group of highly experienced fire protection professionals set up

PREFABRICADOS TECNICOS DE TUBERIA, S.L. Financial backing from several financial

investors from the industry take part in the company’s share capital. The Company’s equity is

set at 1,4 M€. The companies share capital increases to 3,5 M€. Investments achieved by

September 2009 equity reaches 9,5 M€.

The original idea was to cover the need of prefab piping on automatic sprinklers market. In

geographical areas where the fire protection market was already developed, these type of

installations are more frequently produced in external workshops to reduce construction site

works and costs.

PTT’s idea was to considerably improve existing technology (dating back to the 70´s, with poor

flexibility and task integration). To achieve this PTT designed and developed a totally robotic

manufacturing cell, capable of tripling any other existing technology.

PTT´s main offices and workshops are located in Valverde del Majano (Segovia), with a main

warehouse of fittings and other components for the fire protection systems placed in San

Fernando de Henares (Madrid). PTT´s turnover during this financial year will be over 12 M. € .

Production started in Valverde del Majano during mid 2007 PTT.

MANUFACTURING PROCEDURE

www.pttube.com

• The main differential factor in the prefabrication procedure of PTT’s

piping is pipes surface’s preparation by steel shot-blasting at least up to

a cleaning level grade SA 2 ½.

• Once the tube has been shot-blasted, it passes through the robotic cell

which is capable of carrying out every prefabrication process: grooving,

cutting and welding.

• The length of tubes is a main unique characteristic, producing pipe

length up to 9,0 metres.

• Once pipes are produced, the painting procedure commences. Painting

with Polyester dry powder, applied in an electrostatic booth, and oven

polymerized. Standard medium dry layer thickness of 90 m.

• PTT’s main characteristic is workshop capacity: pipe for up to 3.000

sprinklers per day.

• PTT’s production process is thoroughly subject to quality control in

compliance with ISO 9001.2000 standards.

• PTT’s pipes has been certificate with FACTORY MUTUAL (FM).

PTT’sPREFABRICATED ADVANTAGES

www.pttube.com

Automatic Sprinkler Systems are the best and most commonly used fire protection

systems due to their high standard of protection of buildings. One of the main

peculiarities of these systems are the big pipe length needed and repeated structural

modules. This given peculiarity, means that manufacturing such installations in

specialised workshops reduces costs and increases material quality.

Other relevant matters are the following:

The lack of Skilled Personnel. The number of skilled workers and welders

does not increased proportionally as to the number of sprinkler heads

installed in Spain. Skilled personnel and welders works, preferably, on other

sectors; i.e. petro-chemical, gas, power generation plants, etc.

Safety and Environment. For safety reasons welding procedures are

reduced on site as much as possible. Current Legislation, through regulation

EN 12845, point 17.1.3, states that welding on site is limited. Paint

procedures have limitations on constructions sites, not only for safety

purposes but also due to environmental reasons.

PTT’s PREFABRICATED PIPING ADVANTAGES

www.pttube.com

A part from the generic advantages mentioned PTT`s pipe production has the following

unique characteristics which result in other important advantages:

- PTT is the first pipe prefabrication workshop, worldwide, that uses a robotic cell capable of

producing pipes with lengths up to 9,0 metres. Other prefabrication workshops use standard

pipe length of 6,0 metres on his production. 9,0 metres pipe gives the maximum safe length

a counterbalance forklift can lift and reduces substantially pipe scrap.

- Shot-blasting surface preparation up to an SA 2½ grade, assuring the best possible paint

adherence.

- Tube Labelling. Each tube prefabricated by PTT caries an identification tag with the

following traceability information: workshop order, manufacturing order, erection drawing

number, where relevant, areas or installation premises and bar code with quality control

information (pipe manufacturer quality certificate, manufacturing shift, PTT test certificate,

etc).

- Technical Project Assessment. PTT acts as a consultant to every client to optimize projects

to reduce material and erection costs.

PTT’s UNIQUE PREFABRICATING SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS

www.pttube.com

- Reduction of number of different pipes needed. Standardisation of pipe lengths on site is essential to improve erection and labour rate reductions.

Prefabrication of pipes with lengths of up to 9,0 metres allows production at an adequate length when sprinkler spacing is not 3,0 metres. For example, with a

spacing of 2,6 metres between sprinklers, there are three possible prefabrication procedures:

• Manufacturing pipes 6 metres long, hence all having different lengths. All pipe sections must be identified and exact location when mounting.

• Manufacturing pipes with the same length, 5,2 metres, which will result in a 13% of pipe scap.

PTT would supply identical and symmetrical pipes all manufactured at 7,8 metres, with only 2,56% of pipe scrap.

- Reduction of pipe scrap. As it’s shown on previous paragraph, other pipe prefab workshops have wastage when sprinkler spacing is different than 3,0 metres.

PTT prefab up to 9,0 m reduces pipe scrap. Approximately 50% of the cost of prefabricated pipe corresponds to the cost of the tube.

- Increase Erection Performance. When all pipes are the same length, erection performance

increases substantially, but if pipes are 9,0 metres long, every erection team fits up to 50% more pipes.

- Reduction of Grooved Couplings. Working with 9,0 metres pipes, the number of couplings needed

can be reduced up to 50%.

-Symmetrical Tubes without fixed installation positions. Every PTT prefabricated pipe is exactly

the same, symmetrical and without a exact installation pattern and location; this avoids installation

error and reduces erection costs.
