Coiled Pipes
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
It is now well understood that coiled pipe contains a considerable
amount of stored energy which has the potential to cause injury if
handled in an incorrect way. To ensure a safe working environment
during the installation of large diameter pipe in coil form it is intended
that coils should only be dispensed from an approved coil dispenser.
Always ensure that the tail ends of coils are released in a restrained and
controlled manner and never cut all the retaining straps at one time or in
one operation. The work area should be restricted to essential personnel .... ··

Storage at Depot
All materials should be carefully inspected at the time of delivery and
any defective material set aside before accepting the delivery into
stores. Any such defects should be notified to the supply source
immediately.

Pipes and fittings should be used in the order of delivery to ensure the
correct rotation of stock. Polyethylene pipes are date stamped at the Ordinary Ground
time of manufacture and checks should be made to ensure the stock
is being rotated on an "oldest out first" basis. Figure 6-Storage of Framed Packs

Blue polyethylene pipe should preferably be stored under cover and

protected from direct sunlight until required for use. Where storage
facilities necessitate the material to be exposed externally for more
than twelve months, suitable opaque protective sheeting should be
used.

All pipe stacks should be made on sufficiently firm, flat ground to

support the weight of the pipes and any necessary lifting equipment.
Stacking heights should be kept to a minimum and adequate space
allocated for lifting machinery to manoeuvre without accidental
damage occurring.
Horizontal Storage: Each coil must be protected

Butt Fusion

This Technique is used in situations where the pipes to be joined are

of the same material <PESO OR PE 100) and having the same
nominal wall thickness and outside diameter <SDRl. Pipes sizes greater
than 90mm can be jointed using this technique. HEPWORTH PME
( LLC l offers a range of butt fusion machines for both site and
workshop use. Dramatic increases in productivity in jointing long pipe
systems can be cooling whilst a second joint is prepared. Certain
machines within our range also offer full tracability for each welded
joint identifying not only the operator responsible for the joint but also
technical data relating to that joint.

Electrofusion
Electrofusion is suitable for materials and/or
SDR's being the same or dissimilar providing that
the appropriate couplers are used. This method ls
particularly suitable in situations where access is restricted
or when jointing direct from a coil. HEPWORTH PME ( LLC )
offers a comprehensive range of couplers from Georg Fischer
covering pipe sizes of 20mm to 630mm. All electrofusion fittings
conform to EN12201 and EN1 SSS and are manufactured from PE
100 material. As with butt fusion we offer the option of producing
traceability reports for each joint. Additionally many of the
electrofusion joints supplied by HEPWORTH PME ( LLC ) offer bar
coded settings for the jointing parameters eliminating the chance of
operator error when inputting such data into the electrofusion
machine.

through appropriate instruction and on site monitoring. on-site experience under supervision is recommended.

Fusion Machines and Equipment

Fusion machines and equipment may be bought or hired through
Hepworth P.M.E. Owners usually arrange for periodic maintenance
contracts and the available servicing facilities should be taken into
account before purchase. Georg Fischer issue comprehensive and
detailed literature on their products and their use, which should be
studied prior to use of the equipment.

The mating surface of all heater plates must be kept dean to ensure
good heat transfer and to prevent contamination at the weld interface.
Any deposit on the surface should be carefully removed when the plate
is cold using a soft woOden spatula and/or a rag soaked in a suitable
solvent such as lso-propanol. Protective and refurbishing techniques are
available.

Trimming tools are required to prepare the fusion faces of the pipe
prior to heating and are usually an integral part of the machine. The Agure 1-Typlcal Butt Fusion Equipment
cutting edges should be maintained in clean and sharp condition.

Most fusion tools are made from aluminium because of its good heat
conduction properties but this is a relatively soft material and easily
suffers impact damage. Heater plates should be protected when not in
use. Recent development of automatic butt fusion machines and fully
retractable heater plates may reduce the risk of contaminating heater
plate surfaces.

Fusion machines must be capable of applying a controlled fusion

pressure at the joint interface but at the same time be capable of
developing high pull-up forces to cope with the work of drawing long
pipe strings. Power driven, centreline action thrust cylinders provide
smoothness and help to prevent misalignment. Frequent roller support
to the pipe string lessens the required pulling forces and prevents
unnecessary drag and scratching of the pipeline. This is particularly

Buried Installations
Polyethylene is a thermoplastic material that when extruded produces a
pipe of flexible nature and to which the principles of flexible pipeline
design must be applied not only at the design stage but throughout
installation as well. In particular the quality of materials and workman-
ship employed in trench preparation, bedding, backfilling and
compaction must be of a high standard if the full strength potential of
the pipeline is to be achieved and pipe deformation limited to that
calculated by the design engineer. The following sub-sections deal with
trench preparation, bedding, backfill and compaction

 Narrow Trenching
This technique involves the use of a trench with a width of pipe outside
diameter plus 1 OOmm minimum, with all the laying and jointing
operations carried out at ground level. A whole range of specially adapted
compactors, hand tools and narrow trenching machines have been
developed. Since any length of PE pipe string can be pre-welded on the
surface, the trench can be narrow along its entire length and will have
minimal associated embedment and reinstatement costs.

Trenchless Systems
PE is a versatile material and particularly through its toughness and
Hexibility, it is able to be used with a range of cost effective "no dig"
methods of installation.

Systems of thrust boring and m1crotunnelling techniques have become

more readily available within the last decade or so.

Guided drilling or "no dig" systems can be classified into several broad
groups according to the way in which the actual excavation of the pilot
bore takes place.
Microtunnelling using PE pipes
These are:

...._ Fluid jet cutting. High pressure jet nozzles use relatively low
flows of water or bentonite-based mud to cut the hole.
Mechanical blade, Huid assisted. A chisel blade cuts the soil
and ftuid jets directed onto the blade help in cooling and
lubrication.

.,. Impact moles. Percussive moles with slant faces cut

through the soil under thrust and rotation. Down-the-hole
air motors can also be used for cutting harder grounds. The
new PE pipe is then inserted through the bore hole, often
directly below the mole.

....._ Rod pushing. An angled tool is forced through the

ground, compacting the soil and forming a pilot bore .

...._ Pipe bursting. Size for size replacement <or upsizingl of

many existing pipelines is achieved by winching a percussive
or hydraulic mole through the deficient pipeline, thereby
splitting it and displacing the fragments outwards. A new PE
pipe, with or without an outer sleeve, is then pulled through
the enlarged borehole. NarTOw Trenching using PE pipes

 Mainlaying
This Section covers mainlaying including the lowering, laying and
preparation for testing of the pipeline and summary of installation
methods.

Preparation
Generally polyethylene pipes are joined to form a string above
ground prior to snaking into the trench. To prevent scoring
pre-made pipe systems, pipe rollers should be used.

Before commencing of pipelaying, the person responsible should

ensure that the trench is safe in accordance with the health and
safety procedures.

Before lowering polyethylene pipelines into the trench, a check

should be made for cuts, deep scratches or other pipe damage and
in fusion jointed systems that the system has cooled sufficiently
before stress is imposed upon any pre-made joints. When lowering
pipe into trenches, care should again be taken to avoid scoring of
the pipe by contact with the sides and bottom of the trench. Special
care is needed when passing under/around obstructions or other
utility services. Use may be made of planks and ropes where
appropriate but wire ropes or chains should not be used.

During lowering no-one should be allowed to stand underneath

the suspended pipe. Figure 6-Jointed PE pipes prior to laying
Pipelaying

dated by pipe deflection but every effort should be made to keep Whenever possible, a minimum distance of 300mm from

is obtained from jointing at a fixed position outside the trench area. In
this circumstance pipes are transported by hand or mechanical means
depending on size and class from the site storage area to the jointing
station. During this phase all recommendations given in the 'Handling
& Storage' section apply. The jointing station should consist of a
covered shelter heated in winter months) adequately lit to give the
jointing operative dear vision around the pipe joint and of all pressure
and temperature gauges, etc. Even in summer months it is good site
practice to include for a shelter at the jointing station to provide
protection against wind, rain, dampness, sands etc. These recommenda-
tions apply equally to projects where Electrofusion or Butt fusion jointing
techniques are used but are most common for Butt fusion. Normally on
land installations pipes are pulled through the jointing station by hand,
winch, tractor, etc., depending on pipeline length, size and class. It is
strongly recommended that the jointed pipeline is supported on
sufficient free-running rollers as will prevent the jointed pipes from
-
coming into contact with the ground. This will not only make pipe
handling and the jointing operation easier but will prevent the pipe
from being scratched and scored.

 Installing Coiled Pipes - Sizes 160mm and above
Coiled Polyethylene Pipes in 160mm sizes and above should be
moved and uncoiled using an approved dispensing trailer. There
should be facilities available on site to restrain securely each coil
individually throughout the transit and unloading process. Pipes should
be uncoiled strictly in accordance with the releasing instructions for
coiled pipe retaining straps detailed in Handling 8. Storage. After
sufficient pipe has been cut from the coil, the protective end cap must
be replaced on the remainder of the coil.

Pipeline Rehabilitation I Re-Lining

The use of PE pipes for water main rehabilitation by slip lining
techniques is now well established across the globe.

It is recognised that the properties of the material, particularly its

flexibility, toughness and smooth bore are ideally suited for this
application.

Pipeline rehabilitation is, of itself, an extensive subject and many profe- Coiled PE Pipe
ssional contractors specialising in these techniques have emerged over
the last decade.

This section, therefore, is not exhaustive but is intended to draw atten~

ion to some common aspects of this application for PE pipes which
should not be overlooked.

Sub-Aqueous Installations
Polyethylene pipes have been used extensively for many years in sub-
aqueous installations. Here, in addition to efHuent disposal projects,

Public Utility pumping stations over several kilometres. There are
numerous examples where one continuous butt-welded polyethylene

Above Ground Installations

Where PE pipes are to be used in above ground installations, they must
be protected against exposure to direct sunlight It is good design
practice to insulate thermoplastic pipes above ground. This will help to
reduce the amount of movement caused by temperature variation.

Support for Horizontally and Vertically Suspended Pipes

There are two main factors to be considered when specifying support
details for suspended PE pipe systems .

exposure to ultra violet light <sunhghtl.

suspended PE pipe system design, and must take account of expansion
and contraction at the extreme maximum and minimum service
