Trenchless pipe installation | process feature


generation of pipe will be ideal for the poor, stony soils in Middle Eastern countries – which can produce high stresses in the pipe wall, says Tecnomatic.


The lifetime of these types of pipe can be improved by using high stress crack resistance (HSCR) PE 100 materials – such as BorSafe HE3490-LS-H HSCR PE100 from Bor-


ouge, which was used in this project.


The materials are ideal for rocky soil con- ditions where no imported pipe surround is


available, and are also resistant to Slow Crack Growth (SCG) caused by external surface damage and point loads. The materials can be used for pipes installed using a wide variety of trenchless technology methods – from the renovation of existing pipelines using insertion or pipe-bursting techniques, to installing new pipes using high speed ploughing or horizontal directional drilling.


Muna Noor, part of Kuwait’s Boubyan Petrochemical, specialises in the production of PE pipes up to 800mm.

It recently opened a new factory in Sohar, to produce PP double wall corrugated sewer pipes up to 1200mm, plus fi ttings, manholes and PE multilayer safety pipes. Its new production line from Tecnomatic has an output up to 2000 kg/h, making pipes with a maximum diameter of 1200mm. The pipes are produced under a technol-


ogy licence from Wavin Overseas.  Proceedings from AMI’s Pipes in
