The gas feeder pipe is located at the center of the structure, and the conductors surround the pipe in an oscillating lay. The pipe and the conductors are wrapped in a polyester film and enclosed in a coated aluminum sheath. A polyethylene jacket bonded to the aluminum sheath provides the outermost protection for the assembly.
