HDPE Large-Diameter Seawater Diffuser Progress - Supplier Visit
Project Overview
GEM Industrial continues to advance the delivery of the HDPE large‑diameter seawater diffuser system forming part of a major marine infrastructure upgrade. The project brings together international manufacturing, precision fusion welding, and large‑scale HDPE fabrication — all executed to the highest technical standards.
This diffuser represents a significant piece of coastal infrastructure and highlights our capability in large‑scale HDPE fabrication and marine‑environment installations.
Supplier Visit & Inspection
Recently, we welcomed representatives from our international manufacturing partner in Thailand, who travelled to site to inspect their custom‑fabricated fittings, 1800mm HDPE pipe, and the progress of our fabrication works.
Their visit included a detailed review of:
• Delivered pipe and fittings
• Fusion welding quality
• Dimensional accuracy and compliance
• Staging, handling, and fabrication processes
The feedback was extremely positive. They were highly impressed with the condition of their components on arrival, the precision of our welding, and the overall standard of workmanship being delivered by the GEM Industrial team.
This independent validation from the manufacturer reinforces the quality benchmarks we set for ourselves and the confidence our partners place in our capability.
Fabrication Progress
With approximately 90% of fusion welds now complete, the project remains ahead of schedule. The team continues to maintain tight control over quality, sequencing, and safety as we move through the final stages of fabrication.
Next Stage
The upcoming works will focus on installing the large superduplex backing rings — a critical step in preparing the diffuser for final assembly and marine deployment.
Our Commitment
This project continues to highlight GEM Industrial’s strength in delivering complex HDPE infrastructure with precision and pride. The positive feedback from our international supplier underscores the professionalism and discipline of our crew and the quality of work being produced on site.
Further updates will follow as we progress toward assembly and installation.
