9.6. <strong>Installation</strong> of underwater mains<br />
<strong>Installation</strong> of underwater mains can be carried out in several ways. The common method is to assemble the pipe<br />
on the bank of the canel or river. The ends are sealed and the system is pulled into the water. It will stay a float.<br />
The pipe is then carefully filled and sunk into its final position.<br />

The pipe can also be lowered using a floating gantry crane or other lifting equipment; care should be taken to provide<br />
sufficient support as mentioned in the Wavistrong Engineering Guide.<br />
