Comprehensive modernization of wastewater treatment plant, Opole, Poland
PE gravity and pressure pipelines
The modernisation of the wastewater treatment plant is a key task of the project "Comprehensive modernization of wastewater treatment plant in Opole along with improvement of water and wastewater management". This project is the largest investment in the history of the city of Opole, co-financed by the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment 2014-2020. The applied gravity and pressure pipelines PEHD Uponor Infra met the high requirements in terms of chemical resistance and reliability set by the investor.

Combining new PE systems with those that have been in operation for 20 years
The piping systems supplied for the new investment complemented the existing PE system, which has been working without failure for over 20 years, because in 1999 Uponor Infra (then operating under the name KWH Pipe) participated in the expansion of the treatment plant in Opole as a comprehensive supplier of technological pipelines. At that time, deliveries included, among others, gravity pipelines (Weholite pipes DN500-1200 with fittings - 600 m) and pressure pipelines (WehoPipe pipes PN6 and PN10 DN160 - 900 mm with fittings - 1800 m) for transporation of raw and treated sewage, for sludge recirculation (PE pipes DN900 PN6,3), elements of pre-settlers (1800/1200 mm) and secondary settlers (1200/900 mm), recirculated sludge collecting and separating elements and DN1400 manholes adapted for the installation of measuring valves. Uponor also supplied 3 WehoPipe pipelines for crossings of the Oder with horizontal drilling (HDD) method: 2xPE DN160 mm and 1x DN200 mm, each 270 m long. Most of the delivered elements were made to special order based on technical documentation.
Old and new pipeline elements have now been combined by extrusion welding by the Uponor Infra Service Group. As in 1999, Uponor also provided technical support during the design and assembly phase. On the occasion of the modernization of the treatment plant, it was possible to examine the pipe buried 24 years earlier in the laboratory at the Uponor Infra plant in Kleszczów. It turned out that there was an increase in its ring stiffness.

City of Lahti is building new neighborhood called Ranta-Kartano. While they were constructing basic infrastucture the city saw the possibilty to reserve some ground space for storm water management. Now there is a test running for different kind of storm water management. Uponor is involved with new type of storm water filter.

Rapid action was critical when a sewage collector broke in Warsaw, Poland, causing a massive waste spill into the Vistula River. Uponor Infra’s crew worked 24 hours a day in order to stop the pollution of the river. A temporary pipeline was produced, delivered and connected in just eight days.
A smart retention system for an anti-flooding solution
September 2018 saw the launch of the project for a stormwater drainage system in Rzeszów, almost 26 kilometres long, in the residential District of Budziwój, which partially coincides with the floodplain of the River Wisłok. One of the elements of this system is the retention canal. The project, scheduled for delivery by May 2020, will help to finally solve flooding problems which have been plaguing the residents of this region of Poland.
