Pump structure secures stormwater system's long life in Jyllinge Nordmark

In December 2020, the Faroe Islands opened the country’s longest undersea tunnel, which considerably reduces travel time between the most populated islands. The 11.2-kilometre tunnel represents a significant infrastructure investment, which also boasts the world’s first undersea roundabout. Beneath the road, a sophisticated system of pumps and kilometres of plastic pipework ensure that the road is kept free of water and safe for motorists.

Skaraborgsvatten in the south of Sweden has replaced its old intake pipeline made of wood with a new one made of Polyethylene. The new system was not only easy and fast to install - it is also impact resistant and capable of withstanding high levels of mechanial stress.

14 km long ProFuse pressure water line was installed under the sea in Uusikaupunki 2009.

Weholite ensures safe and reliable transportation of stormwater and waste water - and safety is of utmost importance because the newly installed pipelines will run through a water protection area.

As part of the expansion of the Jaworzyna Economic Activity Zone (JSAG) in Jaworzyna Śląska, Uponor Infra supplied large-scale Weholite retention tanks with a total storage capacity exceeding 1,000 m³, providing a reliable stormwater retention system for one of the region’s key infrastructure projects.

In recent years, stormwater quality management has become an increasingly important part of urban stormwater strategies. A pilot project was launched in Heinola to clean stormwater with innovative filter chambers developed by Uponor. At the same time, valuable research data will be collected on stormwater quality from two different types of areas and on the treatment results achieved with filter chambers.

The City of Espoo is the first in Finland to introduce the Vortex stormwater separation chamber. It can be used to efficiently separate floating and descending solids from stormwater. The aim is to reduce the maintenance costs of the retention system built from stormwater tunnels and prevent solids from ending up in waterbodies.
