Easy-to-install method of protecting your underground pipes.

WHEN IT COMES TO UNDERGROUND PIPES, THERMAL EXPANSION CAN BE YOUR ENEMY

Norseman's Thermal Expansion Boxes are a customizable, cost-effective solution to prevent damage to underground pipes caused by thermal expansion, soil stress, soil movement, and backfill operations.

Our Thermal Expansion Boxes are made using closed-cell, chemically stable, and inert polyethylene foams.

Features

  • Fabricated from resilient, closed-cell, chemically stable, and inert polyethylene foams (Ethafoam® and ThermaGuard)

  • Multiple density construction with an inner core cushion, designed to yield then recover following expansion occurrence

  • Lightweight and flexible at low temperatures for easy installation

  • Protects pipe coatings from scrape, dent, and puncture damage caused by contact with unfavorable backfill and environmental conditions

  • Resists severe degradation caused by exposure to hydrocarbons, bitumen, crude oil, and liquid natural gas
