Field test:
Gas pipe installation in Holzthaleben, Germany
The newly developed Rauprotect pipe system was used in
the dimension d63 SDR11 for more than 2.4km and 2.252m
d110-pipes under hardest construction side conditions in
2006 in Germany. In hard rock conditions, the pipe has
been installed by horizontal drilling and by using a plow-in
technology to build a new gas distribution system for the
E.On company.
One year after installation, a routine TV-inspection on the
performance of the installed Rauprotect II pipe system
took place.
The gas pipeline showed no signs of wear, tear, deflection
or point loads. All internal pressure tests have been
successfully fulfilled.
The combination of best Borsafe™
HE3490-LS-H PE100-Quality and
modern state-of-the art pipe-design
will secure the safe transport and
distribution of potable water and gas
for generations to come.
