Note 1 to entry: The carrier pipe can be either a conduit pipe or a support pipe. SIST EN 12007-4:2013



EN 12007-4:2012 (E) 7 3.13 support pipe existing pipe which remains the gas carrying pipe and remains a structural integral part of the pressure system after lining 3.14 sleeve purposely installed length of protective pipe through which a gas pipe passes 3.15 conduit pipe pipe through which a gas pipe is inserted without necessarily providing support 3.16 annular space space enclosed between the carrier pipe and the new pipe when the latter is inserted inside 3.17 close fit after reshaping and relaxation, outer surface of the inserted pipe is in close contact with the internal surface of the old pipe 4 Design 4.1 General Choice of renovation techniques to be used on pipework, up to and including 16 bar, shall be made by a competent person. The selection of materials, dimensions and assembling techniques shall be the responsibility of the pipeline operator and comply with EN 12007-1. Further guidance on the design of polyethylene (PE) pipelines of gas infrastructure is given in EN 12007-2. Further guidance on the design of steel pipelines of gas infrastructure is given in EN 12007-3. The uprating of renovated systems is the responsibility of the pipeline operator and shall conform to the relevant procedure. The Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) of a renovated system shall be limited by the weakest point of the system. 4.2 Pressure uprating Renovation of a gas infrastructure can be a part of a strategy plan for uprating the maximum operating pressure. Some renovation techniques lead to a reduction in diameter of the pipe, so that an increase in pressure is required to maintain the flow capacity of the system. Up rating of MOP is the responsibility of the pipeline operator. The pipeline operator shall ensure that all pipeline components are capable of withstanding, in strength and tightness, the new pressure level. 4.3 Selection of renovation technique The following factors shall be considered when selecting a renovation technique. These include but are not limited to:  the future structure of the distribution network; SIST EN 12007-4:2013



EN 12007-4:2012 (E) 8  the pressure level at which the pipework will operate after renovation;  the required capacity of the pipework;  the number of gas service lines connected to the section of pipework;  the presence and number of branches, bends, valves;  the current condition of the pipework to be renovated;  the position of the pipework; EXAMPLE 1 The covering depth of the pipework. EXAMPLE 2 Disruption to traffic and pedestrians. EXAMPLE 3 The location of adjacent plant. EXAMPLE 4 Areas sensitive to break phenomena.  the number, type and condition of pipe joints in the section of pipework;  any supply obligations to consumers during and after renovation works. NOTE 1 There is a range of renovation techniques use. These are described generally in Annex A. Annex A does not represent an exhaustive list of available techniques. NOTE 2 The advantages and disadvantages of the techniques described in Annex A are outlined in Annex B. Further details of the different techniques are given in Annexes C to Annex I. 4.4 Consultation with third parties When planning works on gas infrastructure, there should be communication with the owners of other plant and street authorities near the gas infrastructure. Any relevant information on the presence of any adjacent plant required to plan the intended works should be collected from these parties. Further guidance is given in EN 12007-1. 5 Construction 5.1 General Pipework shall only be laid or renovated by competent persons working to the specification provided by the pipeline operator and/or pipework manufacturer. General guidance on the construction of gas infrastructures up to and including 16 bar is given in EN 12007-1. Specific guidance is given in EN 12007-2 for polyethylene pipelines and in EN 12007-3 for steel pipelines. A detailed procedure for the successive steps of the works should be made. Each technique has its specific considerations which are mentioned in the Annex C to Annex I. Where, as a requirement of the renovation technique, it is necessary to raise the temperature of polyethylene pipe, the pipe temperature shall not exceed the maximum allowable temperature stated by the pipe manufacturer. The safety of personnel engaged on gas supply works, and of members of the public shall be ensured during the whole period of the works. Considerations shall be given to the needs of the elderly or disabled. SIST EN 12007-4:2013



EN 12007-4:2012 (E) 9 Before assembly and laying parts of gas infrastructures the condition of all pipes and fittings shall be checked for conformity. Existing pipework should be checked for unwanted obstructions or blockages. The construction of gas infrastructures should be organized so that the impact on the environment during construction is reduced to the minimum practicable level. Further guidance on environmental considerations is given in EN 12007-1. Lubricants used to aid renovation by pipe insertion shall not have a detrimental effect on the existing or inserted pipe. 5.2 Disconnection/reconnection of sections of the gas infrastructure Where it is necessary to disconnect a section of the gas infrastructure to undertake renovation works, care shall be taken to ensure that supplies in the other parts of the existing gas infrastructure are not adversely affected. Care shall be taken to identify all service lines supplied from the section of gas main to be disconnected and consideration shall be given to the renovation of these service lines. The pipes and fittings shall be correctly stored, handled and transported to ensure continued fitness for purpose as required in EN 12007-1, EN 12007-2 and EN 12007-3. 5.3 Excavation and no dig techniques The position and size of excavations shall be determined taking into account the covering depth of the pipework to be renovated, the diameter of the new pipe and other factors which can affect the insertion process. EXAMPLE 1 The proximity of other buried plant. EXAMPLE 2 The length of the new section of pipe. EXAMPLE 3 The position of service lines to be transferred. Consultation should take place with other utilities before undertaking excavation work, so that adequate measures for the protection of other pipework, cables and underground constructions can be agreed. The competent person on site should ensure that the most appropriate information on the location of existing gas supply pipework and other utility plant are available on site. The competent person should ensure that safe digging practices are followed at all times. Adequate provision should be made for the effective temporary support of pipework, cables, and other apparatus during the progress of the work, and for their permanent support where the ground has been disturbed. Further guidance on the precautions to be taken when excavating is given in EN 12007-1. Excavations created in the process of renovating gas infrastructures shall be suitably backfilled and surface features such as roads and footways shall be reinstated according to standards agreed within the Member Countries. 5.4 Laying 5.4.1 Laying of pipework Any new pipe installed shall be laid in accordance with the specific guidance if appropriate given in
EN 12007-2 for polyethylene pipelines and in EN 12007-3 for steel pipelines. Further general guidance is given in EN 12007-1. SIST EN 12007-4:2013



EN 12007-4:2012 (E) 10 5.4.2 Cleaning of carrier pipe When the carrier pipe contains quantities of dust, pitch or other contaminates which could affect the renovation process, consideration should be given to pipe cleaning. Pipe cleaning can be achieved by either mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic means. NOTE In certain renovation techniques the condition of the internal bore of the carrier pipe is a major factor in determining whether the technique can be successfully applied. EXAMPLE Close-fit lining. During any pipe cleaning care should be taken to:  minimize any damage to the environment;  the presence of pyrophoric dust;  dispose waste material in accordance with national or local legislation. 5.4.3 Inspection of the pipework to be renovated Where renovation techniques use the pipe as carrier pipe, it should be inspected internally prior to introduction of the new pipe, in order to locate possible obstructions and deficiencies which can damage or have otherwise detrimental effects on the new pipe or block the passage. The inspection may be carried out with a camera. 6 Pressure testing Pressure testing procedures to prove the integrity of renovated gas mains and service lines shall be se

4 Design
4.1 General
Choice of renovation techniques to be used on pipeworks, up to and including 16 bar, shall be made by a
competent person.
The selection of materials, dimensions and assembling techniques shall be the responsibility of the pipeline
operator and comply with prEN 12007-1.
Further guidance on the design of polyethylene pipelines (PE) of gas supply systems is given in
prEN 12007-2.
Further guidance on the design of steel pipelines of gas supply systems is given in EN 12007-3.
The uprating of renovated systems is the responsibility of the pipeline operator and should conform to the
relevant procedure. The Maximum Operating Pressure (MOP) of a renovated system shall be limited by the
weakest point of the system.
4.2 Pressure uprating
Renovation of a gas supply system can be a part of a strategy plan for uprating the maximum operating
pressure. Some renovation techniques lead to a reduction in diameter of the pipe, so that an increase in
pressure is required to maintain the flow capacity of the system.
Uprating of MOP is under the responsibility of the pipeline operator and he shall ensure that all pipeline
components can withstand in strength and tightness the new pressure level.
4.3 Selection of renovation technique
The following factors should be considered when selecting a renovation technique. These include but are not
limited to:
 the future structure of the distribution network;
 the pressure level at which the pipework will operate after renovation;
 the required capacity of the pipework;
 the number of gas service lines connected to the section of pipework;
 the presence and number of branches, bends, valves;
 the current condition of the pipework to be renovated;
 the position of the pipework;
EXAMPLE 1 The covering depth of the pipework.
EXAMPLE 2 Disruption to traffic and pedestrians.

EXAMPLE 3 The location of adjacent plant. EXAMPLE 4: Areas sensitive to break phenomena.
 the number, type and condition of pipe joints in the section of pipework;
 any supply obligations to consumers during and after renovation works.
NOTE 1 There are a range of renovation techniques which can be used. These are described generally in annex A.
This annex does not represent an exhaustive list of available techniques.
NOTE 2 The advantages and disadvantages of the techniques described in annex A are outlined in annex B. Further
details of the different techniques are given in annexes C to J.
4.4 Consultation with third parties
When planning works on gas supply systems, there should be communication with the owners of other plant
and street authorities near the gas supply system. Any relevant information on the presence of any adjacent
plant required to plan the intended works should be collected from these parties.
Further guidance is given in prEN 12007-1.
5 Construction
5.1 General
Pipework shall only be laid or renovated by competent persons working to the specification provided by the
pipeline operator and/or pipework manufacturer. General guidance on the construction of gas supply systems
up to and including 16 bar is given in prEN 12007-1. Specific guidance are given in prEN 12007-2 for
polyethylene pipelines and in EN 12007-3 for steel pipelines.
A detailed procedure for the successive steps of the works should be made. Each technique has its specific
considerations which are mentioned in the annexes C to J.
Where, as a requirement of the renovation technique, it is necessary to raise the temperature of polyethylene
pipe, the pipe temperature shall not exceed the maximum allowable temperature stated by the pipe
manufacturer.
The safety of personnel engaged on gas supply works, and of members of the public shall be ensured during
the whole period of the works. Considerations shall be given to the needs of the elderly or disabled.
Before assembly and laying parts of gas supply systems the condition of all pipes and fittings shall be checked
for conformity. Existing pipework should be checked for unwanted obstructions or blockages.
The construction of gas supply systems should be organized so that the impact on the environment during
construction is reduced to the minimum practicable level. Further guidance on environmental considerations is
given in prEN 12007-1.
Lubricants used to aid renovation by pipe insertion shall not have a detrimental effect on the existing or
inserted pipe.
5.2 Disconnection/Reconnection of sections of the gas supply system
Where it is necessary to disconnect a section of the gas supply system to undertake renovation works, care
should be taken to ensure that supplies in the other parts of the existing gas supply system are not adversely
affected.
Care shall be taken to identify all service lines supplied from the section of main to be disconnected and
consideration shall be given to the renovation of these service lines.

prEN 12007-4:2010 (E)
For transportation, storage, handling of materials and equipment and for limiting interference from external
causes, prEN 12007-1 shall be considered.
5.3 Excavation/No dig techniques
The position and size of excavations shall be determined taking into account the covering depth of the
pipework to be renovated, the diameter of the new pipe and other factors which can affect the insertion
process.
EXAMPLE 1 The proximity of other buried plant.
EXAMPLE 2 The length of the new section of pipe.
EXAMPLE 3 The position of service lines to be transferred.
Consultation shall take place with other utilities before undertaking excavation work, so that adequate
measures for the protection of other pipework, cables and underground constructions can be agreed.
The competent person on site shall ensure that the most appropriate information on the location of existing gas
supply pipework and other utility plant are available on site. He should ensure that safe digging practices are
followed at all times.
Adequate provision should be made for the effective temporary support of pipework, cables, and other
apparatus during the progress of the work, and for their permanent support where the ground has been
disturbed.
Further guidance on the precautions to be taken when excavating is given in prEN 12007-1.
Excavations created in the process of renovating gas supply systems shall be suitably backfilled and surface
features such as roads and footways shall be reinstated according to standards agreed within the Member
Countries.
5.4 Laying
5.4.1 Laying of pipework
Any new pipe installed shall be laid in accordance with the specific guidance if appropriate given in
prEN 12007-2 for polyethylene pipelines and in EN 12007-3 for steel pipelines. Further general guidance is
given in prEN 12007-1.
5.4.2 Cleaning of carrier pipe
When the carrier pipe contains quantities of dust or pitch or other contaminates which could affect the
renovation process, consideration should be given to pipe cleaning. Pipe cleaning can be achieved by either
mechanical, hydraulic, or pneumatic means.
NOTE In certain renovation techniques the condition of the internal bore of the carrier pipe is a major factor in
determining whether the technique can be successfully applied.
EXAMPLE Close-fit lining.
During any pipe cleaning care should be taken:
 to minimize any damage to the environment;
 to the presence of pyrophoric dust;
 to dispose waste material in accordance with national or local legislation.

5.4.3 Inspection of the pipework to be renovated
In case of renovation techniques which use the pipe as carrier pipe, it should be inspected internally prior to
introduction of the new pipe, in order to locate possible obstructions and deficiencies which can damage or
have otherwise detrimental effects on the new pipe, or block the passage.
The inspection can be carried out with a camera.
6 Pressure testing
Pressure testing procedures to prove the integrity of renovated mains and service lines shall be selected from
prEN 12327.
The pressure testing shall be carried out in accordance with minimum test pressure levels given in
prEN 12007-1.
General guidance is given in prEN 12007-1. Further guidance for polyethylene systems is given in
prEN 12007-2.
Where a tightness test cannot be carried out, for example joint repairs carried out under live conditions at
operating pressure, the pipeline operator shall specify the test method.
7 Service line transfer
Service line transfer shall be carried out in accordance with the specifications given by the pipeline operator
and the technical requirements of the renovation technique. A strength test, a tightness test or a combined test
shall be carried out on the renovated service line and/or connection between service line and main before
commissioning the service line. These tests shall be in accordance with prEN 12327.
If, for technical reasons, pressure testing of the service pipework is not completed prior to connection it should
be tested at the same time as the new section of pipeline.
8 Commissioning and decommissioning
Commissioning and decommissioning shall be carried out
