pollutants.
In storage, care must be taken to ensure that the PE-Xa carrier pipe is pro-
tected from sunlight and that no undesirable deformation of the coil is oc-
curing.
Pipes must be transported and stored in such a way that sharp objects, like
stones and tree roots cannot damage them. Pipes must not be dragged
along the ground. Only nylon or textile straps should be used for fastening
the coils during transport.

A land register plan might be useful to eliminate possible conflicts with exist-

After completion of the pipe-laying process, the route can be marked with a
warning tape. Entry in the land register plan is recommended.
