Stormwater Pipe System to Prevent Medical Center in Toulouse

A total of 4.6 km of HOBAS Pipe DN 400 to DN 1500 were laid and no fewer than 148 different tailor made manholes were installed. On the construction site, managed by the French company SCAM TP, 5 different contractors such as SOGEA, GIESPER and EXEDRA simultaneously worked in five different places. The entire logistics were coordinated by MTP. It was the quality of their service that created a smooth workflow between all involved parties from June right through to October and therefore contributed significantly to the project’s success. HOBAS Manholes are usually delivered including a ladder. Special requirements such as adapting the fixations in manhole production to fit locally provided ladders as well as extra access pipes to elongate the manholes to ground level were organized efficiently and with ease. Once completed in 2012, Canceropôle will provide around 4,000 jobs and supported by the infrastructure from HOBAS, hopefully develop promising innovations in this field.
