Situation

Oslo Kommune was confronted with the failure of a drinking water pipe supplying a busy industrial area of Oslo Sydhavna. The pipe with the diameter DN 355 runs beneath a highly frequented road on which trucks transport containers and various goods from and to the port 24 hours and seven days a week. In addition, the pipeline is located next to a railroad line which further limits the space available for the renovation works.

Perfect solution

for the use in urban or industrial areas so as not to affect road and railway traffic, also due to the short installation times

Possibility of installation in existing manholes
