Providing effective and efficient means of transportation of potable, reusable, or waste water is one of the major challenges in the Middle East. As a world leader in water pipelines, Saint-Gobain PAM brings safe drinking water to millions of people and evacuates wastewater through its innovative range of ductile iron pipe products and solutions. Each year, over 1,000 towns and 100 capital cities rely on a drinking water network made of this cast iron material. With an industrial history of 160-years, steeped in innovation, Saint-Gobain PAM continuously develops new cutting-edge technology to ensure vital water resources are made readily available to consumers. The effective lifespan of ductile cast iron pipes is more than 100 years. With a rigorous selection of materials in contact with water, the preservation of the quality throughout the network is ensured. Additionally, the production process currently allows the recovery of more than 80% of waste produced. Finally, the ductile iron raw material, obtained by a special Magnesium treatment is 100% recyclable, long lasting, and fully inert. Saint-Gobain aims to produce zero non-recycled waste, while ensuring the sustainability of the environment.

Increased traffic loading, temperature cycling, and age hardening create potholes, cracks, and damage on asphalt surfaces. Saint-Gobain ADFORS provides a solution through a geogrid product line: ADFORS GlasGrid®.

GlasGrid® offers several styles of pavement reinforcement grids for asphalt layers. They retard reflective cracking by a factor of 2 to 3 times, by turning stresses horizontally in order to dissipate them. Based on 30 years of successful installations around the world, ADFORS GlasGrid® typically provides a 50% reduction in future investment cost (e.g. maintenance, rehabilitation, and use costs) over the life of an average road. Among the various products available, the GlasGrid® portfolio includes: self-adhesive geogrids, compogrids, complete patch grids, and as well as grids with special tack film.
