Budapest 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.

In Budapest’s 8th area, several collectors were to be installed to transport sewage from the major part of the city to the adjacent treatment plant. The contractor, who is convinced of the unique properties of HOBAS Jacking Pipes from successfully completed projects in the past, opted for HOBAS Pipes De 1720, SN 32000, PN 1. A 33-m-long part was jacked beneath a busy 8-lane road; further 170 meters were installed heading to Rezső Square. Opening a trench for the pipes would have been impossible as the disruptions to traffic and residents due to the lengthy construction time would not have been acceptable.

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.
