Underground Pipe Wrapping Inspection
Underground Pipe Wrapping Inspection
(OP)
Hi everybody.
I want to know which parameters should be checked for inspection after UG pipe wrapping application, and how long after applying wrapping, the pipe should be sandfilled and backfilled (buried)? Does the sunlight damage the wrapping tapes?
Thank you.

If the material has been formulated with carbon black and other UV stabilisers, a few weeks in the sunlight won't do it any harm.
