The service in depth
Sourcing certified hydraulic materials — right diameter, right standard, on time with the works — is a recurring headache for developers and ASADAS. Buying on price without technical judgment gets expensive: pipe AyA won't accept, mis-specified valves, tanks with no backing.
RAM supplies the same materials it uses in its own AyA-received works: PVC SDR26/SDR17 and HDPE pipe in various diameters, valves, hydrants, meters, fittings, and storage tanks. The difference versus a traditional supplier is the engineering behind it: we specify material by design and standard, not by available inventory.
The service works the same whether you build with us or on your own: projects executing their own works, ASADAS replacing infrastructure, and developers needing supply with on-site delivery and technical support during installation.
The problem
Sourcing certified hydraulic materials of the right diameter and standard, and coordinating them with construction progress, is a headache for developers and ASADAS that rely on multiple suppliers without technical backing.
How we do it
- Definition of the project's technical requirements
- Quotation and selection of certified materials
- Supply and on-site delivery
- Technical support during installation
Proven experience
Supply and delivery of tanks and hydraulic infrastructure for our own and third-party projects, with certified materials used across 10+ km of pipeline built and received by AyA.

Every material in our AyA-received pipelines — from Corintos to Tejona — went through the same specification and supply chain we offer third parties. Formal reception of those works is the toughest quality control there is.

Frequently asked questions
Do you sell materials without doing the construction?
Yes. We supply pipe, valves, hydrants, tanks and certified fittings for third-party projects, with technical advice included.
Can you size the tank I need?
Yes — and you should before buying. Storage volume is governed by standard (regulation plus reserve); a mis-sized tank is wasted money or a failing system. The calculation is part of the service.
Do you sell to ASADAS with invoicing and warranty?
Yes. We supply ASADAS, developers, and contractors with full documentation, and can include technical installation support.
