YDI on tires

We make certain that the coating is not so much as scratched. YDI pipes are shown here waiting for installation on old tires to ensure the coating doesn't touch rocks. Then the pipes are lowered into the trench by cloth straps.

All of this is a lot of trouble: Corrosion technicians on site, careful handling, jeeping to detect coating breaks, magnesium anodes...it was probably half the speed and nearly twice the cost of bare DI to install. But we learned to do it because we had to.
