Europe's largest-ever PE pipe project - The Montpellier Sea Outfall

 

New Successes & New Solutions

Plastic Pipes Conference Association # 2004 Milan

Blomster, Baeckman, Ettinger

Only ten years ago, steel was the dominant material in marine outfall projects. Technological advances in raw material supply, more sophisticated extrusion technology and know-how development in submerging of pipelines has however changed this situation. In 2002 Pipelife Norge A/S won Europe's largest-ever plastic pipe project, beating off competition from old generation materials. The successful supply and installation of the Montpellier sea outfall project has shown clearly that for marine applications, PE pipe has proved its efficiency and competitiveness.

When performing strength quality control of PE pressure pipes made of new grades it is important to take the creep vs. time into consideration and not only the common stress vs. time behaviour. Thus, it is just the relation between linear strain and logarithmic time, which will within a reasonable testing time help...
