Thanks for your reply, like you I am concerned about the use of mechanical joints and I'd need to see it in service (on real projects) for quite a while before I'd buy into it on a hydrocarbon pipeline.
I wonder if they have taken account of installation stresses, soil movements and...
Does anyone out there have experience of Zap-Lok pipeline joints? The vendors promote the good points of course, but why haven’t more operators taken up this technology?
Grateful for your thoughts
