Modular pipe formation apparatus

A modular plastic pipe formation apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of modules, wherein each module is configured as a transport container having opposite ends and has at least one component of the pipe formation apparatus located therein;
• the plurality of components disposed within the modules are adjustable in position and/or angle;
• and
• locks configured to lock adjacent modules when drawn together in close proximity with respective ends adjoining;
• wherein the plurality of modules are aligned for pipe formation when the modules are locked together and the modules are adjusted in position and/or angle.

A method of forming plastic pipe, using a modular plastic pipe formation apparatus that comprises a plurality of modules supporting components of the pipe formation apparatus, the method comprising:

• arranging the plurality of modules in a predetermined manner at a production site, wherein each module is configured as a transport container having opposite ends;
• arranging two or more respective components of the pipe formation apparatus;
• supplying the plastic pipe formation apparatus with plastic raw materials;
• locking the modules together with adjacent ends adjoining;
• and
• aligning the components of the plastic formation apparatus to enable pipe formation.

A method of establishing a mobile plastic pipe manufacturing site that is adapted to locate a modular plastic pipe formation apparatus that comprises a plurality of modules supporting components of the pipe formation apparatus, the method comprising:
