Airport Drainage System for New International Airport BBI (Berlin-Brandenburg International)

This high-performing airport sets just as high demands on its future pipe systems: High loads incomparable with those of road traffic and aggressive substances such as kerosene and anti-freeze, which are employed especially during the cold season, had to be considered choosing the right pipe material. After extensively comparing the options, the client decided for HOBAS CC-GRP SewerLine® Systems. Particularly their hydraulic performance, their ability to bear high static loads and their corrosion resistance were substantial criteria. Reaction forces resulting from internal pressure work on the bends and are overcome with locked sections and ground anchors. The first pipes, produced by HOBAS Pipe Germany, have already been installed in April 2008. The contractor consortium is highly satisfied with the technical support of HOBAS which includes the elaboration of line and installation plans as well as installation support and pressure tests on site by HOBAS technicians. To keep construction times as short as possible logistics are carried out in close cooperation with all parties. A total of 8 km HOBAS SewerLine® DN 600 – 1600 with pressure classes PN 6 to PN 10 are expected to be installed by September 2008.
