Radius installs gas pipe in historic city

Radius Systems' specialist installation division, UPLUS, has installed Profuse PE100 gas pipe in a Southern Gas Networks (SGN) project.

The 440mm diameter SDR26 ProFuse pipe was first manufactured by Radius for a Scottish project.

Its successful use in the project led to it also being specified for works in Rochester, Kent.

The pipe was installed by sliplining an old 18" cast iron gas main.

Keith White, team manager at Southern Gas Networks commented: "We had to work beneath cobbled streets in a conservation area close to the castle, so digging all of these up would have been very difficult.

As we were able to slipline quite a bit with new Profuse pipe, we minimised disruption and congestion".
