PLATES

OVERPIPE offers high-quality HDPE plate that provide safety of underground networks like High-Pressure pipeline, Medium-Pressure pipeline, High-Voltage electricity grids, etc.

This is a major breakthrough to protect pipelines from third-party interference damage as it acts as a physical barrier. In addition, the OVERPIPE plates lend mechanical protection and underground network safety. Works by third parties represent the greatest danger for underground pipelines, causing approximately 40% of accidents.

OVERPIPE plates are fully compliant with French regulations regarding mechanical protection (GESIP guides 2008/02). They provide a risk reduction factor (0.01) equivalent to that of concrete slabs (GESIP guide 2008/01).OVERPIPE plates for underground pipeline protection and high voltage electrical networks are quick and easy to install. The plates act as an impenetrable barrier and protect buried networks from the impact of the excavator bucket.

safety

Improved safety thanks to the non-slip surface and bevelled edges. They are covered on both sides with non-slip spikes to make them easier to handle and avoid slip and fall accidents.

RESISTANCE

The plates form an impenetrable barrier against impact from the bucket of an excavator.

inspection

The plates can be removed to allow the pipeline to be inspected or repaired.

Warning message

The plates are full body coloured (anti-UV treated), in order to provide an unmissable warning signal (colour depending on the nature of the network). They include an embossed warning message. Included in the mould, its lifetime is that of the plate. It can be fully customised.

dimensions

The dimensions of the plates are broken down into five formats to adapt to the diameters of the pipelines and to the route of the network.

drainage

They have holes over their entire surface for water drainage and so as not to disrupt the measurement of the cathodic protection.

Installation

OVERPIPE plates are particularly quick and easy to install: they require no heavy equipment or qualified personnel. A team of two people can install several hundred meters per day.

PROTECTION OF
TRANSPORT NETWORKS

The plates are intended to protect large-diameter underground pipelines (HP gas, hydrocarbons, etc…). Made of injected HDPE, they can withstand the impact of a 32-tonne mechanical digger without losing their integrity.

French regulations give OVERPIPE plates a risk reduction coefficient of 0.01, identical to that of concrete slabs (GESIP guide 2002/01).
