The rocket plough technique<br />

6.3 Outside protecti<strong>on</strong><br />

With the rocket plough technique, the outside protecti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the pipes is a matter <strong>of</strong> particular<br />

importance because the string <strong>of</strong> pipes which is hooked <strong>on</strong> is generally ploughed<br />

into the existing soil without any lubricants (bent<strong>on</strong>ite or the like). Because there is generally<br />

no exact knowledge <strong>of</strong> just what the c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s are in the subsoil, the pipes require<br />

an outside protecti<strong>on</strong> which is able to carry high loads and which will remain undamaged<br />

even when subjected to extreme mechanical stresses and will thus stay effective for the<br />

entire life <strong>of</strong> the pipeline.<br />

What is used for this purpose in the case <strong>of</strong> ductile cast ir<strong>on</strong> pipes is a plastic-modified<br />

cement mortar coating (Fig. .8) to DIN EN 1 2 [ .3].<br />

What is used to protect the socket joints is either polyethylene shrink-<strong>on</strong> material (Fig.<br />

.9) to DIN 30 72 [ . ], with an additi<strong>on</strong>al sheet-metal c<strong>on</strong>e to provide the shrink-<strong>on</strong><br />

material with mechanical protecti<strong>on</strong> during the pulling-in process, or a cement mortar<br />

protecting sleeve with a sheet-metal c<strong>on</strong>e for mechanical protecti<strong>on</strong><br />
