Customer Field Case | Welping WP1600A in Large-Diameter Pipeline Construction

Summary

This customer field case documents the use of the Welping WP1600A butt fusion machine system at a large-diameter pipeline construction site in North Africa. The photos confirm that the WP1600A has been deployed as a complete welding system in a real engineering project, demonstrating its application in 1600-class large-diameter pipeline construction.

These photos were shared by a customer and were taken at a large-diameter pipeline construction site in North Africa.
The equipment in use is our Welping WP1600A butt fusion machine system.
Sample ContentFor us, feedback from real construction sites is particularly valuable. These images were not taken during demonstrations or testing—they record the WP1600A after it had already been put into practical engineering use.
WP1600A and Its Application Background
In the butt fusion welding industry, the designation “1600” carries a clear meaning.
While many manufacturers focus primarily on machines up to 1200, only a limited number are able to supply and deploy 1600-class equipment in real engineering projects.
Within our large-diameter product range, which currently extends to 1800, the WP1600A is one of the models that has already been applied on active construction sites.
What This Customer Case Confirms
From the customer-provided photos, it is clear that the WP1600A is not limited to specifications or project proposals.
It has been deployed on site as a complete butt fusion welding system in a real large-diameter pipeline project.
In this application, the full system—including the machine frame, facer, heating plate, and hydraulic unit—was used to carry out the complete butt fusion welding process required for large-diameter pipelines. This reflects the type of engineering scenario the WP1600A is designed to support.
Why We Are Sharing This Case
We are sharing this customer field case to help readers clearly see one key fact:
The WP1600A has already been used in real large-diameter engineering projects and has participated in construction in a fully engineering-oriented manner.
Closing
This set of on-site photos from a North African customer documents the real-world application of the Welping WP1600A in a large-diameter pipeline project and reflects our ongoing practical experience with large-size butt fusion welding equipment.
