I have been asked to pressure test and cap of 12metres of 63mm yellow gas pipe that is in a trench. Nothing is connected to either end.

Pressure testing to 10 bar should be fine hey?
 
So went to pressure test this job but the pipe was not installed to regs. They had run yellow mdpe into the building which if I remember correctly is a no.

I do know the gas board do this though when replacing the mains to the meter inside the house with mdpe by pushing it up the old pipe.
 
into the building is ok under the building no no
 
Any pics?

Not the most revealing to be honest. Not much to see.

The pipe goes under the building just to the left
