Introduction
By the year 2001 the project DIGBUILD was started, performing important gas companies and manufacturers of pipes and ttings, whose aim was to look for an improvement in the costs of
the and the installation of the metal pipes used up to then in the interior supply of gas in the buildings, so it was performed pilot tests and instillations with cross-linked polyethylene pipes
(PEX) and multilayer pipes (PEX-AL-PEX).

Finally it was concluded that the safety level reached with the techniques of installation of PEX and Multilayer pipes is at least the same than the reached by using the traditional techniques
for copper and steel. The results of the economic evaluations demonstrated that the plastic pipes, due to its higher exibility in comparison to the copper or steel pipes, they are more
competitive. These new techniques used for the plastic pipes will bring bene ts for the gas companies (development of new uses of gas, easy to install) and they are advantageous for the
gas installers.

History of its introduction in Holland

In a technical visit to installations that were being performed with Multilayer pipes in Holland in the year 2008, the technicians of GASTEC given us the following information:

95-96: Feasibility study by GASTEC with emphasis in PEX

96-97: First pilot project with PEX: 31 houses
97: First version by GASTEC QA for the requirements of the PEX
98: First version of the regulation of installation
98: Approval of the rst system of PEX pipes

99: Start of the training of the installers
99: Requirements GASTEC QA for Multilayer pipes
00: Approval of the rst system of Multilayer pipes

Advantages
High exibility
Quick and clean installation
System of join easy to do
Same technique of installation for gas for water, heating, etc.
Low weights
Low costs of total instillations

The future
Geographical expansion of the use of systems of Multilayer exible pipes
The normative ISO 17484 has been published for systems of multilayer pipes for the supply of gas, a base for the requirements of GASTEC QA n. 198 (and UNE 53008).
Expansion of the use to the external side of the buildings.
Introduction of plastic ttings for gas in PPSU & PVDF instead of the traditional brass ttings.
