Double Wall Pipe [1]

A pipe within a pipe.

If the inner pipe, carrying product, should happen to leak, the outer pipe provides secondary containment [2] and prevents the released product from entering the ground.

It is also possible, in a number of ways, to monitor the space between the inner and outer pipes. Through monitoring, the presence of a leak can be identified.
