Budaörs Invests in Local Storm- and Wastewater Discharge
On highly frequented roads, at highway crossings, but also in urban areas where under- and overground infrastructure is becoming denser and denser, there is a strong tendency toward trenchless installation of pipes. Also in Hungary HOBAS Jacking Pipes proved to be the best solution in the following project.
Inspections of the storm- and wastewater collector in Budaörs in the west of the Hungarian capital Budapest showed that the old concrete sewer called for urgent renewal. Especially heavy rainfalls would overburden the pipe’s capacity. Due to the outstanding hydraulic properties and the swift installation, the client opted for HOBAS CC-GRP Jacking Pipes. The pipe coverage near the thrust pit was quite small, around 70 cm. Thanks to trenchless installation, however, traffic disruptions could be completely avoided. Since the route runs beneath the heavily frequented highways M1 and M7, the pipes further scored with their high load capacity. In addition, a PE pipe paralleling the sewer needed to be protected from static and dynamic loads. For this, the contractor decided to insert the line in a HOBAS Jacking Casing Pipe De 501, SN 320000, PN 1.
The project has been completed to the total satisfaction of everyone involved and now provides for optimal storm- and wastewater discharge in the Hungarian city.
