The Municipal Water Company of Beit Shemesh (Israel) planned a main potable water supply line to bring high pressure to a reservoir. The line runs along a very complex rocky road characterized by many twists and turns, within a forested path protected by the authorities, at altitudes close to 100 meters, and ancient areas that are forbidden to be excavated. To implement the project, it required a pipeline that could cope with a combination of high pressures, a very dynamic pressure regime and to be suitable for transportation and installation under very aggressive conditions.In addition, the pipe line needed to be antistatic or a pipe made of insulating material that would be impervious to electric shocks since a parallel pipe line was placed with power lines.
