Hi
I am looking at a new water supply main that is to be installed in the near future. The route that we need to take puts us next to a petrol station that has been operating for at least 30 years. It is assumed that there will be some level of hydrocarbon contamination in the soil and that this could potentially impact on the supply main.
We are wanting to use PE pipe as this is economical and will work well in a seismic event (which is paramount for us in NZ).
Does anyone have information on if there is a suitable PE product, or if there is a heat component as to when hydrocarbons leach through PE pipe?
Cheers
