Massiivinen jätevesiviemäri Harjavallasta Poriin
Porin ja Harjavallan välille valmistui massiivinen jätevesien siirtoviemäri.
The new hospital area in Malmö describes as one of Region Skåne's largest investments ever. The sustainable culvert solution that Uponor Infra has created for the hospital is part of this major investment.
Even though the infra culvert that Uponor Infra has prepared for Skåne University Hospital in Malmö is almost 10 meters long, the benefits are many for the construction project. The hospital area that the Region of Skåne, together with PEAB and Forsen, is building includes a service building, a care building and a mortuary. At the beginning of 2022, the new mortuary will be ready and provide space for approximately 220 mortuaries, sweeping rooms for funeral contractors and religion-neutral display rooms for relatives. The culvert system from Uponor Infra is part of the underground infrastructure for, among other things, district heating, district cooling, sprinklers, electricity and telecommunications between the mortuary, the service building and the care building.
Connection culvert as a good role model
- We saw the opportunity to connect the hospital buildings with the culvert. I definitely believe that this will be a good example and role model for future construction projects with similar challenges, says Jimmy Ohlsson, responsible sales representative at Project Services at Uponor Infra.
After having the first meetings about the project as early as 2019, the infra culvert was installed on site by PEAB at the end of 2020. It became clear that the culvert solution was a fast and cost-effective construction. Welding and placement took place in one day; the backfilling then took three to four days. Even from a sustainability perspective, the culvert proved to be an affordable solution. All material used for the culvert is 100 percent recyclable and the construction itself causes significantly less CO2 emissions, instead of a construction where, for example, concrete needs to be cast.
Another advantage in the hospital environment is that the culvert, after a quick installation, will in the end ensure a disturbance-free environment. When cables need to be replaced or repaired, this can be done in the culvert itself, without the need for excavation or construction efforts. In this way, a culvert solution also reduces work risks during construction, installation and repair. The protection that the culvert gives the wires extends their service life considerably.
- It may have taken some time until the construction market has seen the potential, but today more and more players are looking at culverts as a sustainable solution. We are in meetings with the city of Malmö about a culvert solution to find a good solution for a new development area, Jimmy Ohlsson concludes.

Kuokkalaan avattiin marraskuussa 2013 kehäväylä. Väylälle asennettiin 2 kilometriä Uponorin IQ-hulevesiputkea, 250 kaivoa ja 5 kilometriä salaojaputkea.
Lahti Energia käyttää työmaillaan ensimmäisenä Suomessa kaariputkia. Kokemukset ovat olleet erittäin hyviä.
Lahden Vipusenkadulla uusittiin kaukolämpöverkkoa. Kaivantoon on laskettu isoja kahdentoista ja kuudentoista metrin DN 300 -putkia. Hitsaajat ovat ryhtymässä töihin. Jokin jää kuitenkin askarruttamaan ohikulkijan mieltä.
Samaan aikaan toisaalla, keskustasta Launeelle johtavalla kaukolämpölinjalla operoidaan hieman tuhdimpien DN 400 -putkien kanssa. Täälläkin sama juttu. Aivan kuin kaikki putket eivät olisi ihan suoria?
Butt welding by night of 900 mm pipes ensures stable operation of a district cooling solution in Copenhagen Harbour.
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.
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.
Thanks to swagelining technology, it was possible to carry out most of the water line modernisation works in the centre of the city of Łódź, in a built-up area, along traffic lanes with heavy traffic of motor vehicles and trams.
Construction of storm water collectors in Nowe Polkowice is one of the stages of a big investment concerning the drainage of the district.
A sea outlet of treated wastewater was initiated in Swarzewo. It is yet another of the many environmentally friendly projects that have recently been carried out in Poland where PE pipes were used.
