Soft soil conditions often require also for underground pipelines specific piled support constructions.​

When transporting certain chemicals through a pipeline, specialised coatings may be required. These coatings and their key parameters can be modeled in PLE to assess their integrity.

Nucleair pipeline conditions characterised by high pressures and large temperature ranges with ultimate safety levels​.

PLE is the tool to assess the stress strain and ovalisation of pipeline schemes with Tees, branches, valves and all kinds of appendages.​

Static and dynamic loadings, such as earth quakes and seismic vibrations and displacements.​ Especially the combination of dynamic loading and the pipe soil interaction under large displacements can be perfectly assessed in elastic and plastic material behaviour modes by PLE​.

Pipes connected to offshore risers can include both buried and exposed sections, and are subject to various types of loads, such as waves and currents. PLE is specialised software designed to analyse and combine different loading conditions, making it ideal for offshore riser assessments.​

In the oil and gas industry, high temperatures and high internal pressures are common. As a result, specific types of analysis—such as large deformations and significant forces at bends and connection points—are often required. These conditions can be easily modelled and analysed using PLE. PLE is also a suitable tool to combine buried pipes and above-ground pipeline sections, including connections to plants or well pads, as well as associated supports and valves​.

Culverts experience diverse loading conditions. PLE is designed to help you efficiently check and optimise your culvert for any loading scenario and soil type.

With PLE, different stages of the pipeline design can be analysed throughout its lifespan, providing the necessary data for a Life Cycle Assessment – from initial design to long-term integrity.​

Changes to existing pipelines and pipe systems can be assessed ideally with PLE taking into account changes and aging of material properties ​

The combination of top load and soil reactions around the pipeline makes PLE the ideal software to verify your road crossing.​

Trench installations of pipeline are characterised by the large amount of loadings, phases and pipe-soil and pipe-mud interaction. PLE has specific features to assess and optimise these projects.​

PLE is the ultimate software for the combination of piping and pipeline stress strain assessment. The combined above and underground pipeline behaviour and soil-pipe interaction makes it possible to optimise your design.​

Stress – strain analyses for high pressure pipelines of all kind of medium pipes and pipelines.​

Whether connections at offshore landfalls are made using HDDs or other installation methods, PLE is the software for analysing and designing these types of connections, allowing evaluation of pipe stresses and loads at the connection joints.

CO2 pipelines require careful consideration due to high pressures, phase changes, and potential corrosion. PLE provides a robust platform to model and analyse these conditions throughout the pipeline’s entire lifecycle.​

Hydrogen pipelines pose unique challenges such as embrittlement, high diffusivity, and strict safety requirements. PLE enables detailed modeling and analysis across all stages of the pipeline lifecycle to ensure structural integrity and performance.​

PLE provides reliable analysis for all sewer pipe types, including pressurised and gravity-flow systems. By modelling differential settlement and pipe support conditions, it helps engineers design efficient and robust sewerage systems.

Flood protections require specific checks, safety philosophy and loading combinations. PLE is the ultimate software to assess pipelines in flood protections.​

Due to the serious consequences of potential gas pipe leakage, ensuring the integrity of joints and connections is critical. In PLE, the exact position and type of each joint or connection can be modelled along with the expected loads, allowing detailed analysis and definition of the necessary data for each component.

Any specific requirements or pipe materials for green gas pipelines can be modelled and analysed in PLE.

Water pipelines sometimes involve a variety of pipe materials and installation techniques within a single project. These can be easily combined and analysed in PLE. When connecting a new section to an existing pipeline, evaluating the loads on the connection and ensuring watertightness are critical. PLE provides the necessary tools to assess all of these factors.
