Sustainability
How much energy the pipe saves, how long it lasts, and what stays in the country from every order. With figures and their sources.
Less energy, fewer emissions
ESG- 292 kW
- solar plant on site
- up to 80%
- of plant demand from solar
- 20–30%
- pumping energy saved
OWN GENERATION
Our own solar power plant
A 292 kW solar power plant has operated on the factory site since May 2026. It covers up to 80% of the plant's electricity consumption.
WATER-ENERGY NEXUS
Lower pumping energy
The smoothness of GRP (Hazen–Williams coefficient ≈ 150) does not degrade over time — saving 20–30% of pumping station electricity across decades of operation.
GHG REDUCTION
Reduced carbon footprint
Replacing imported heavy steel pipe with local production in Dushanbe cuts transport emissions many times over.
NON-REVENUE WATER
Seismic and climate resilience
Bell-and-spigot joints with EPDM seals stay tight through seismic shocks, loess subsidence and temperature swings — with no loss of clean drinking water.
The benefit is counted across the whole service life
TCO- −40%
- cost of ownership vs steel
- 50+ years
- without refinancing
- 0
- protection and cleaning cost
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP
Total cost of ownership 40% below steel
The initial investment is offset by the absence of operating costs later on.
ASSET LONGEVITY
Over 50 years of service without corrosion
Water supply projects will not need refinancing to replace pipe after 25 years.
ZERO MAINTENANCE
Zero maintenance cost
Mains need no cathodic protection stations, as steel does, and no regular cleaning of internal deposits.
Production, skills and technology stay in the country

LOCAL CONTENT
Contribution to the national economy
Pipe for state projects is made inside the country rather than imported. The plant operates as a local taxpayer and supports related sectors, from transport to construction and installation.
SOCIAL IMPACT
Job creation
More than 100 skilled jobs for local engineers and workers in the industrial cluster.
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Technology transfer
Composite production was set up in partnership with international specialists, raising the country's industrial capability.
CAPEX SECURITY
Reliable construction schedules
Shipment from the Dushanbe warehouse straight to site. Installation is 3–4 times faster than steel — projects are handed over on time.
MDB COMPLIANCE · Trust of financial institutions
Already in service on IFI-financed projects
The plant's pipes have passed technical and environmental compliance and are in service on projects of the Asian Development Bank (Kofarnihon station, KAF-1) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (water mains in Nurek). Production is certified to ISO 9001:2015; the products comply with ISO 10467, ASTM and AWWA.
About the data
Energy-efficiency and cost-of-ownership figures are taken from the plant's technical documentation and comparative calculations for pipelines of equal diameter. Project volumes come from works acceptance certificates. Detailed calculations for a specific project are available on request.
