Transport of brine - technological pipelines, Kosakowo, Poland

The project involves a great deal of sewerage work, as the former farmland is now being prepared for industrial purposes.

Uponor delivers tanks for a ground-breaking development project at Vestforbrænding

The Weholite tanks, with an inner diameter of three metres, delivered to the Riihimäki wastewater treatment in Southern Finland will ensure that the plant keeps running, even during emergencies.

New dry land fish farm which will produce 3,200 tonnes of rainbow trout annually is being build in Eckerö in the Åland Islands. Uponor Infra has provided design assistance and delivers the pipes and is responsible for their installation and welding.

Construction of the pipe network for cooling water at the Keljonlahti power plant began in December 2008. 3,000/3,300 mm Weholite pipes were selected for the network. The combined length of the entire intake and discharge pipe network for cooling water is 1,714 metres.

New challenges are where the Project Services Department at Uponor Infra feels most comfortable and can demonstrate its
continuously developing expertise. The aim on this occasion was to provide a seawater intake cooling system – a pipeline, intake structure and chlorination line – for the 420MW extension of the Pagbilao Coal Fired Power Plant on Luzon Island in the Philippines.

Weholite’s ability to withstand external wear, such as friction against the seabed, was an important criterion when the outfall pipe of Stora Enso’s pulp and paper mill in Nymölla, southern Sweden, had to be replaced.

 

 

Stockholm Exergi AB is an energy utility company that operates in Stockholm. It is jointly owned by the City of Stockholm and the Finnish energy giant Fortum Oyj. The company produces district heating, district cooling and electricity. Today, it supplies heat to approximately 800,000 in-habitants in the Stockholm region.

To ensure failure-free operation of a raw water system, a polyethylene-made pipeline (PEHD) with a length of approximately 9 km was installed (in mining damage conditions), of which 3 km uses the trenchless technique – relining.

Weholite technology was used for the construction of a penstock (water transmission pipeline) for a new small hydro power plant in the city of Cieszyn.

Modernisation of the brine pipeline in Inowrocławskie Kopalnie Soli „Solino” S.A.

Positive experiences of KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. with transport of post-flotation waste determined the decision to use the PEHD systems for the transport of slurry supernatants from the tailings pond.

For almost 20 years, Uponor Infra has assisted the Polish mining conglomerate KGHM Polska Miedź S.A. in modernising Europe’s largest tailings pond.

For many years Uponor Infra has suppplied KGHM with high-quality polyethylene piping systems that transport water and slurry.

Uponor Infra has been delivering for the last dozen or so years the PEHD systems for surface drainage of brown coal mine

Slotted drainage VipLiner module made by Uponor Infra has been chosen to build a drainage system for heat and power station of Gdynia.

The object for the largest investment in the Finnish forest industry has been completed. Metsägroup's pulp mill in Äänekoski started operations in August 2017. Uponor Infra was involved in building a new generation bio mill.

Stora Enso Nymölla Mill in southern Sweden produces pulp- and wood-free uncoated paper and is the second largest paper manufacturing company in Europe. Nymölla Mill belongs to the "Paper" division and has an annual capacity of 340,000 tonnes of pulp and 485,000 tonnes of paper. The mill started in 1962 and has 540 employees. The paper manufactured by Nymölla Mill is recyclable, renewable and biodegradable. Approximately 90% of Nymölla Bruk's paper brands have eco-label certification that certifies the products' reduced environmental impact during the product's life cycle. Paper products from Stora Enso are available all over the world.
 

 The district cooling system in Helsingborg involves the streamlining of current production. By means of seawater and using heat from the district heating network to power an absorption cooling unit, district cooling provides much better environmental values than electric cooling units. The district cooling station is an efficient source of cooling for buildings, industrial facilities and shopping centres.

 

As tall as an apartment building. A diameter of 22 metres. A volume of 3,500 cubic metres. FishGLOBE V5, a fish farming facility built and delivered to FishGLOBE AS in Stavanger in southwestern Norway, is the world’s largest PE plastic structure designed for marine conditions.

WehoSlurry polyethylene pipes with an additional, internal slurry layer, provided an optimum solution for hydrotransporting ash to the Bełchatów Power Plant’s disposal site.

One of Europe’s largest power plants is being built in Kozienice in central Poland. Uponor Infra pipes and manholes were used when building the raw water line.

A special partnering agreement has enabled new and more sustainable stormwater pipes for the port expansion in Aalborg. 
 

Andfjord Salmon AS, a Norwegian fish farming company, has the ambition to create a sustainable, environmentally and fish-friendly onshore facility – with the smallest possible footprint. This patented facility combines the best from both traditional ocean net-pens and land-based salmon farming. The intake and outfall lines are built with highly durable Weholite PE pipes and panels with a 100-year life span.
