3 m pipe diameter - routine for HOBAS
After its completion, it shall treat 80% of the Polish capital’s effluents and furthermore make sure that no more untreated sewage will harm the flora and fauna of the Vistula - 30% of effluents are currently flowing directly into the river. As part of the plan, a collector leading to the plant is also under construction. Due to this project’s size, it was broken down into three sections. The first is approximately 5.7 km long and realized with HOBAS Jacking Pipes OD 3000 (DN 2800) which were installed along the right side of the Vistula, whereas 1.4 km OD 3000 are laid on the left river bank. The pipelines meet in the third section where two lines DN 1600 are inserted in a 4.5 m diameter concrete tunnel crossing beneath the Vistula. Worthwhile mentioning is the 840 m long part of the first section where the pipes were supposed to be jacked from both ends meeting in the middle. However, installations with HOBAS Pipes can be conducted so precisely that the section could be jacked with one single drive and from one side only. The smooth and even outer surface and high stiffness (SN 50000 und 64000) of the relatively light-walled HOBAS Pipes were significant for this success.
