Project Outcomes

• CSL successfully designed and installed a 1.4 km HexelOne pipeline for biomethane injection into the Cadent LTS network.
• Previously the only acceptable material for high-pressure pipelines was steel.
• By using polyethylene piping, costs and installation times were significantly reduced as well as introducing the possibility of alternate installation techniques such as directional drilling, which potentially have environmental benefits. Overall this grows the business potential of connecting biomethane sites to the gas grid.
• The equivalent steel pipeline would have taken 2 months to install, as opposed to the 1 week the Raynham project took.
• IGEM standard TD/19 put in place to allow the use of Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe.
