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.
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.
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.
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.
Uponor Infra Sp. z o.o. supplied Weholite PEHD DN3000 SN8 with pipes for the renovation of a railway culvert.
The modernisation of the Warsaw West railway station is the largest construction project currently underway in the Polish capital.
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
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.
