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.
