Overpipe case study. The scheme cut straight across two critical fuel pipelines both the 10‑inch and 12‑inch lines intersected the proposed bypass route, demanding a fast, safe and innovative protection solution.
This case study outlines a recent Overpipe installation undertaken during a local authority bypass project in the South of England. The study includes details of the works, the buried fuel pipelines affected, the installation configuration agreed during planning, and the reinstatement process following installation.
Importantly, it also highlights a real‑world strike‑prevention example, where a machine‑mounted post auger was stopped by the Overpipe plates during subsequent fencing works. This incident demonstrates how the system can actively prevent damage to underground assets - exactly the type of outcome Overpipe is designed to achieve.
