A method for producing a pre-insulated pipe, comprising inserting a length of jacket pipe (10) into a guide channel (110) having a front end (111) and a rear end (112); fixing said length of jacket pipe (10) in said guide channel (110); providing a first end (21) of a length of insulated inner piping (20), said length of insulated inner piping comprising a length of inner pipe surrounded by at least one layer of compressible insulation material (26); inserting, at said front end of said guide channel, into said length of jacket pipe, said first end of said length of insulated inner piping (20); applying an overpressure at least in an interior of said length of jacket pipe (10), around the inserted first end of the length of insulated inner piping (20); and moving said first end of said length of insulated inner piping (20) to said rear end of said guide channel (110); wherein said overpressure is such that said at least one layer of insulation material (26) is radially compressed; removing said overpressure to fix said length of insulated inner piping (20) in said length of jacket pipe (10) in order to form a pre-insulated pipe.
