3. Support from your
local contact
Saint-Gobain PAM supports its clients, thanks to
its locally-based sales and technical network.
• 16 water and sewage sales agencies,
• several regional Soil and Drain and Rainwater
departments,
• logistical platforms based near you.
Hundreds of employees are dedicated to offering
a personalised service to local authorities, public
and private operators, design offices, pipelaying
companies and traders.
Sustainable purchasing
Public pipeworks are long-term infrastructure investments
designed to last for several generations.
The current pipeline network replacement rate is 0.9% per
year in Germany and 0.6% in France, which corresponds to a
life expectancy for these networks of 110 to 160 years!
What is more, in several European countries, leakage rates are in excess
of 20% on existing networks.
Faced with these major challenges, pipelines must be robust, watertight
and able to resist site hazards and inevitable ground movement.
By choosing PAM pipelines, you are choosing a reliable, watertight
installation, with a rapid return on investment.
You are also making the responsible choice in financial and
environmental terms.
