OUR COVER PICTURE shows 42-in diameter concrete-coated pipes for the Nord Stream pipeline, weighing about 25 tonnes each, being transported by a reach stacker in the stockyard at Mukran, Germany. Each pipe is fitted with some of the 200,000 end caps supplied to the project by Roplast, the design and development of which is described in detail in a paper in our next issue.
