Let me save you a lot of time and say that the key to a good map is balanced gameplay and good looks. Hollow pipes have nothing to do with it.

Copy the outside cylinder, resize it to be smaller, go to Curve -> Matrix -> Invert. That will invert the cylinder. Then you make patch meshes for the tips.

You can do it by making another cilinder as wide as outer side, and move some of its vertices to match the inner one.

Only problem is these pipes looks awkward at any value of r_subdivisions other than 4.

Then you can make the pipe from a single cylinder patch. You need to add six rows to form the double rows needed to make the hard edges.
