Gas transmission operator BP - SYSTEM has approved the use of CRC - Evans ' automatic casting technology in the Strachocina - Pogórska Wola gas pipeline project in southwest Poland . The destructive and non-destructive tests of the welds were performed in June at Palab laboratory accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation and the Technical Supervision Office. Prior to approval , the technique underwent several successful tests in May and June this year , which demonstrated that one weld on a DN 1000 pipe was finished three times faster than traditional methods and required only a quarter of the additional welding material normally required , due to BP - Evan 's addition of special bevelling in the technology .
