Lockable pipe sections laid above ground must be protected by suitable safety valves or equivalent safety devices against impermissible pressure increases due to thermal expansion. Safety valves must be component-tested and suitable for the specific application; their discharge lines must allow for safe discharge. There are also underground pipe systems. After the construction of a pipeline system, the area used was recultivated and can, for example, be used again for agricultural purposes, as the pipeline is located at least 1.20 metres below the surface.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-2114\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"5\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-2114\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><h2 class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> Who is responsible for checking whether a pipeline could be damaged during a construction project? <\/h2><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-2114\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a42b9fa e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a42b9fa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7612d7b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7612d7b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"toggle-id-5\" class=\"toggle_wrap active_tc\"><div class=\"toggle_content invers-color \"><p>In order to ensure the safety of our long-distance pipelines, ARG requires detailed written information about your project from you as the construction company, planning office, private builder or resident in good time before work begins.

Lockable pipe sections laid above ground must be protected by suitable safety valves or equivalent safety devices against impermissible pressure increases due to thermal expansion. Safety valves must be component-tested and suitable for the specific application; their discharge lines must allow for safe discharge. There are also underground pipe systems. After the construction of a pipeline system, the area used was recultivated and can, for example, be used again for agricultural purposes, as the pipeline is located at least 1.20 metres below the surface.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Who is responsible for checking whether a pipeline could be damaged during a construction project?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In order to ensure the safety of our long-distance pipelines, ARG requires detailed written information about your project from you as the construction company, planning office, private builder or resident in good time before work begins. We will use the documents you provide to check whether the construction project could cause any disruption to our pipeline system and will inform you of the results of our assessment. If your project affects our long-distance pipelines, we will then coordinate any requirements and safety measures with you.  For information about long-distance pipelines, we recommend the online portal BIL. BIL is a nationwide information system for pipeline research and allows you to obtain comprehensive information about our long-distance pipeline system in a very simple manner. Further information can be found at www.bil-leitungsauskunft.de.  This service is free of charge for you!Alternatively, you can send us your enquiry in writing by email or post.
