The EBSE project is being developed in partnership with UFRJ and USP
A new milestone is being reached by EBSE, the largest private boiler factory in Rio de Janeiro, by opening Pipewave, a company dedicated to the manufacture of helical tubes. These products, manufactured from laminated coils, have crucial applications in sectors such as sanitation, energy, chemicals and oil & gas.
The decision to explore this new tube niche was driven by the Saneamento Framework, which aims to make water and sewage services universal by 2033. EBSE, in partnership with the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, is leading this innovative project.
Envisioning New Opportunities: The Idea Behind Pipewave
EBSE launched Pipewave as a response to the growing demand for spiral tubes. The decision to enter this sector was influenced by the Sanitation Framework, approved in 2020, which provides for the expansion of water and sewage services by 2033. Recognizing the potential of this growing market, EBSE conducted feasibility studies that confirmed the need for significant investments in the sanitation sector. The company decided to leverage its vast experience and infrastructure to bring this new endeavor to life.

Pipewave's manufacturing line assembly was carefully planned and executed. EBSE acquired the necessary equipment from abroad, after rigorous validation by suppliers. The assembly of the tubes began three months ago and is already in the final commissioning phase, with opening scheduled for mid-August.
The company is also working on platform accreditation and registration with companies to promote Pipewave in the market. With diverse budgets in hand, Pipewave is poised to become a valuable addition to the EBSE portfolio.
Promising prospects for the helical tube industry
Pipewave's goal is to produce between 4 thousand and 5 thousand tons of tubes per month, ranging from 500 mm to 3.200 mm in diameter and from 6,35 mm to 25,4 mm in thickness. This innovative process uses steel coils, which are more economical than flat sheets, and operates automatically, providing efficiency and agility. With the automation of the painting process in the plans for the coming months, Pipewave is poised to revolutionize the helical tube industry.
The sanitation sector is a major focus, but the company also sees opportunities in other segments, such as civil construction, pulp and paper, oil and gas, and mining. EBSE, in partnership with the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, is redefining the production of helical tubes, laying the groundwork for a more efficient and sustainable future.
