Carrier pipes are critical to underground utilities. They function as the system’s spine, transporting key things we need — water, gas and oil — to where we need them. We would have trouble obtaining these resources we use all the time, if we did not have pipelines as carriers.
Ensuring that blowout preventions are both strong and durable is imperative to maintaining the long-term health of our underground utility systems. Strong carrier pipes can withstand what happens beneath the ground, such as rust and pressure from the surrounding soil. Pipes that last longer minimize the risk of expensive repairs or damage later.
Proper installation and maintenance of carrier pipes are crucial for their success on projects. The pipes need to be installed with great care, then, so that they can do their job effectively and are not damaged in the process. Regular inspections can encourage early detection of any issues, and ensure timely repairs when necessary.
Carrier pipes in common use in construction work include steel, copper and plastic. Steel pipes are strong and hard, equally good for carrying gas and oil. Copper pipes are the usual choice for water because they don’t rust. Plastic pipes such as PVC and HDPE are lightweight and easy to install, which makes them suitable for various utility applications.
