Sustainable solution for Denmark’s largest infrastructure project

Durable plastic tanks with a lifespan of 100 years will ensure a sustainable and economical solution to provide employees clean drinking water and good sanitary facilities 24

Faroe Island tunnel with Uponor pipe system

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.

Drainage of the S86 route at the Agata junction

A stormwater retention tank made of polyethylene with a capacity of nearly 400 m³ was installed along a section of the S86 expressway near the "Agata Junction" in Katowice in early October 2024. This is part of the road's drainage system, designed to enhance its resilience to climate change and prevent flooding during heavy storms.

Drainage system of the T3 Baltic Hub container terminal

Uponor Infra delivered over 10 km of PE and PP pipes for the construction of the drainage system for the T3 Baltic Hub container terminal in the Port of Gdańsk.

Ease of installation is key

Weholite pipes are light and easy to install. They really come into their own in a project in the harbour of Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand – the extension of an old stormwater line using massivepipes with an internal diameter of 3–3.5 metres. In this busy harbour area, it is not possible to carry outlarge-scale excavation work. The soil of the region and strong tides pose their own challenges.

Modernization of the lock on the barrage

At the Krapkowice barrage, the lock and control room are being modernized and the outports are being reconstructed. Uponor Infra delivered Weholite DN2000 SN8 polyethylene pipes as well as manholes, segmented bends and special fittings for this construction.

Retention tanks for the multimodal terminal

In Zduńska Wola - Karsznice, one of the largest multimodal terminals in Poland is being built. The most important elements of the stormwater management system of this terminal will be a battery of two Uponor Infra retention tanks.

Retention tanks in mountain areas

Construction of the S1 expressway on the Przybędza-Milówka section, known as the bypass of Węgierska Górka. Uponor Infra polyethylene tanks were selected for drainage of the road system.

Construction of the N-S road in the area of mining damage

Problem-free operation in areas with mining damage in the Upper Silesia Industrial District thanks to the Uponor Infra pipe systems and retention tanks.

Renovation of the railway culvert

Uponor Infra Sp. z o.o. supplied Weholite PEHD DN3000 SN8 with pipes for the renovation of a railway culvert.

Retention tanks for the railway station

The modernisation of the Warsaw West railway station is the largest construction project currently underway in the Polish capital.

Storm water of the railway station

The specificity of constructing a storm water system as part of railway projects is that it must be resistant to, among other things, dynamic loads from the passing trains. In the case of the station in Konin, an important element of the storm water system is the retention tanks

Lightening structure of the General Road viaducts

Use of polyethylene pipes in the construction of viaducts of the Generals’ Route not only helped to lighten their structures but also lowered project cost.

Lightening of the viaduct’s structure

The decision to use plastic pipes to lighten the viaduct’s structure, was a pioneering one.

Retention systems for the S3 expressway

As part of the project “Construction of the second roadway of the S3 expressway along the Sulechów – Nowa Sól section – the second and third section” Uponor Infra provided pipes, sewer manholes and detention tanks.

Ice-free pavement throughout the year in Lahti

The alterations to Aleksanterinkatu – the main street in the City of Lahti – will be completed by the end of 2016. The aim of the City's development projects is to make the centre more suitable for pedestrians and public transport. Uponor's role in the project is to build a snow melting system and the related frame lines for Aleksanterinkatu's pavements and zebra crossings. What is special about this project is that it marks the first time that Uponor's new Ecoflex Thermo Single 125/250 pipes have been used in Finland.

Tailor-made pipes ensure a better water supply

Uponor Infra has designed a complete pipe solution for a new water tank. 400 m DN 800 pipes and 300 m DN 630 pipes now ensure Søborg citizens better water supply.
