Advantages

Why is PipelinePilot superior?​ 

Higher performance per foot - High CoP (efficiency heating or cooling)

Let’s talk pipes and performance​.

The PipelinePilot hammock field is made up of many thin-walled low-pressure pipes protected by a smooth grout for excellent ground contact. Thin-walled pipe is less expensive, so the initial material cost is lower. ​

We can use the thin-walled pipe because the stresses placed upon it in installation are less than in traditional trenching and far less than in vertical wells.​

Our equipment is smaller, faster and less disruptive. That means time and labor costs are lower, and site remediation costs are lower, too, with very little re-sodding or replanting. Hardscape and paving aren’t damaged.​

Tabulating all these savings puts the PipelinePilot’s installation cost at around 25% - 40% of traditional methods. ​

There are more reasons to love PipelinePilot, too:

• We can get into worksites with only a meter of access width. Traditional trenching equipment and well drilling derricks can’t come close. So we can service more homes in more locations.

• PipelinePilot can install on sloping terrain … the angle of the back yard is not a barrier.

• On the technical side, the hammock field provides more parallel paths, so the coefficient of performance (CoP) is greater. Here’s a link that explores coefficient of performance. 

• And should one pipe in the network fail, it can be shut off remotely and the homeowner won’t have to re-dig the entire field, which would be the case with other methods.​

Longer Operation Life (More Robust / Fault Tolerant)
