Saint Gobain PAM

Cutting-edge solutions

Saint-Gobain PAM uses the latest ductile iron manufacturing technology, including Zinalium. Zinalium is a patented protection system that extends the life and performance of ductile iron pipe in corrosive soils, while eliminating the need for polyethylene sleeving.

Industry-leading world class quality

While pushing the envelope, Saint-Gobain PAM products also adhere to primary international norms and standards. For example, these include ISO 9001 (quality management systems); ISO 14001 (environmental management); and ISO 2531 and EN 545 (both specific to ductile iron pipes).

Sustainable practice

Across their entire ductile iron pipe range, Saint-Gobain Pam provides effective methods for assessing the environmental impacts of products, services and processes. Two key methods include pipeline Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Life Cycle Analysis is used to evaluate the impact of a product or service throughout its life cycle; from the moment it is manufactured to the moment it is recycled. Total Cost of Ownership takes into account the cost of a pipeline throughout its entire life cycle, including purchase, installation and maintenance and end-of-life recycling. All PAM ductile iron pipe products benefit from remarkable return on investment, thanks to incredibly low maintenance requirements, water-tightness of materials, and the savings this facilitates in terms of reduced pumping.
