Centrifugally cast hollow bar and pipe systems delivering up to 10x service life and up to 90% through-life cost reduction. Engineered for extreme wear, heat and corrosion.
Built for environments where conventional pipe fails
Forever Pipe is VEEM’s advanced range of centrifugally cast hollow bar and pipe engineered to outperform fabricated, welded and coated alternatives in the most demanding industrial environments. Whether transporting slurry, water, chemicals, or high-temperature materials, Forever Pipe delivers longer service life, greater reliability and significantly lower through-life costs, reducing downtime, maintenance and unplanned shutdowns.
By combining engineered alloys with precision centrifugal casting, Forever Pipe achieves exceptional resistance to abrasion, corrosion, heat and impact without compromising structural integrity.
- Up to 10x wear life compared to traditional hard-facing methods
- Up to 92% reduction in through-life costs
- Dual-metal and multi-alloy configurations for tailored performance
- Ultrasonic thickness testing for in-service monitoring
- Bespoke alloy development, tailored sizing, and complete engineering support
- Manufactured in Western Australia to ISO quality standards
Unmatched range and flexibility
VEEM boasts the largest range of die sizes in Australia (77mm to 764mm for long dies and up to 1250mm for shorter lengths). Capable of producing custom sizes and developing bespoke alloys with over 250 alloy options. Bespoke alloy development.
92% through-life cost savings
Our Forever Pipe™ duo bars are a game changing range of custom made, bimetal centrifugally cast hollow bar that increase life by up to 10 times, cost less than weld cladded wear pipe and can be monitored for wear ultrasonically.
Unbeatable mechanical properties
Centrifugal casting offers exceptional quality and versatility for a wide range of applications. With precise grain structures, superior mechanical properties, and the ability to customise sizes and alloys, these bars outperform traditional sand cast alternatives.
Advanced Bi-Metal Centrifugal Casting
Forever Pipe™ Duo-Bar
VEEM’s duo bar range utilise duo-metal casting technology to create components with enhanced durability and performance. Combining a wear-resistant inner layer and a tough outer layer (or reversed), duo bars are ideal for applications requiring superior abrasion resistance, impact protection, or corrosion resistance. This innovative solution reduces through-life costs by up to 92%, making it a game-changer for industries like mining, refineries, and chemical processing.
“These spools are on their 5th campaign and still showing no signs of major wear. Given that previous hardface weld overlay lasted less than one campaign, we are extremely happy with this result.”
