EuroPas Evolution™ – PE100 RC Solid Wall Pipes for Gas Networks (Type 1)

EuroPas Evolution™ is a premium PE100 RC (Resistant to Crack) solid wall pipe system developed for underground gas distribution networks where enhanced durability and long-term reliability are essential. Manufactured from PE100 RC (MRS 10 MPa) with exceptional resistance to Slow Crack Growth (SCG), the pipe is particularly suited to demanding installation environments and trenchless construction methods.

The Type 1 single-layer construction features smooth internal and external surfaces and is available in black with co-extruded orange identification stripes or fully orange. Pipes are manufactured in outside diameters from 20 mm to 800 mm and supplied in both coils and straight lengths to suit a wide variety of gas distribution projects.

Description

Features & Benefits

  • Designed for Gas Distribution Networks
    Engineered for underground natural gas infrastructure requiring superior durability, safety and long-term performance.
  • Premium PE100 RC Material
    Manufactured from PE100 RC (MRS 10 MPa), providing exceptional resistance to Slow Crack Growth (SCG) and long-term mechanical performance.
  • Outstanding Crack Resistance
    High resistance to crack initiation and propagation caused by point loads, scratches and surface damage encountered during installation and operation.
  • Optimised for Trenchless Installation
    Particularly recommended for No-Dig construction techniques, including directional drilling and other trenchless installation methods where increased resistance to installation damage is required.
  • Permanent Leak-Tight Performance
    Provides a 100% permanently sealed pipeline system when installed using approved polyethylene jointing methods.
  • Excellent Flexibility
    Good bending characteristics simplify installation while reducing the need for additional fittings.
  • Reliable Performance in Unstable Ground
    The inherent flexibility of PE100 RC allows the pipeline to accommodate ground movement while maintaining system integrity.
  • Wide Range of Sizes
    Available in outside diameters from 20 mm to 800 mm, suitable for service connections through to major gas distribution mains.
  • Supplied in Coils or Straight Lengths
    Coil options minimise the number of joints, while straight lengths provide an efficient solution for larger diameter installations.
  • Comprehensive Fittings Compatibility
    Compatible with a wide range of standard polyethylene fittings for flexible network design and installation.
  • Electrically Non-Conductive
    Inert to stray electrical currents, eliminating corrosion risks associated with metallic pipeline systems.
  • Excellent Chemical Resistance
    Resistant to aggressive soils and chemicals in accordance with ISO/TR 10358, ensuring reliable underground performance.
  • High Abrasion Resistance
    Durable PE100 RC material withstands installation wear and long-term service conditions.
  • Exceptional Impact Strength
    High shock absorption helps protect the pipeline during handling, transportation and installation.
  • Fully Recyclable
    Manufactured from recyclable PE100 RC, supporting sustainable infrastructure and circular economy objectives.
