PE100-RC Pipe, No Sand Required:

Standard PE100, Sand Required:

Used extensively in mainland Europe PE100-RC Collector pipe offers superior impact crack resistance to PE100/PE100+. This product in most soil conditions negates the use of sand bedding, saving significant material, plant and labour cost. Conductivity of the sand versus site soil conditions must always be considered in the analysis before opting for non sand bed.

A fundamental and critical component of any efficient performing Ground Source Heat Pump System are the collector pipes where pipe protection and longevity are paramount.

It’s widely accepted in terms of good pipe laying practice that sand should be employed both below and above the pipe to protect from sharps as even PE100 Pipe Material is vulnerable to rapid creep if point load damage occurs.

Sand has become the default position on most installs to act as protection from the variants of “as dug material”. Whilst reducing the thermal conductivity of the surrounding earth it also adds cost into the job in material and significant labour time.

Go Geothermal Limited can offer you a solution, PE100 RC. Offering low notch sensitivity and superior resistance to point loading and slow crack growth (SCG), the RC material avoids the potential for pipe tears even when point loads caused by rocks occur.
