Uponors roll

0
The New route is scheduled to be ready in November 2013. Nearly two kilometers of Uponor IQ -pipes will be installed together with 250 drainage chambers and roughly five kilometers of drainage pipes. The contractor of this project is Destia.


Uponor IQ –pipes are Uponor´s latest innovation. The socket is integrated in the pipe during the manufacturing process. This makes the connection extremely tight and eliminates the possibility of leaks. It makes the product also very fast to install.


Reaction time plays huge role


On construction site the reaction time plays huge role. “It is important to stay on the schedule and be ready to react changes fast. Uponor can provide us the needed items fast” says the Site Manager Timo Vesterinen.


Road Infrastructure needs to be seen as an investment not as an expense.


Plastic increases its popularity constantly on civil engineering construction. The main raw material of Uponor pipes is polypropylene. Polypropylene has excellent resistance to impact, heat, frost and chemicals. This makes the lifetime of our pipes very long and it also allows to filter chemically strong waste water. In addition to durability pe (Polyethylene)- and pp (Polypropylene )- plastics are recyclable which is a valuable property.


Road transports still cover about 90 percents of cargo tons in Finland. This is the main reason why it is important to see road infrastructure as an investment not as an expense. In order to keep the roads in good condition it is crucial to make the groundwork properly and use high quality products. Roads need to last for decades. This puts high standards for the used pipes and chambers also. Concrete has a bit lower purchase price than plastic, but the overall cost may turn the other way.


Overall cost is the one that matters


Uponor IQ-Storm water system is manufactured in sizes 200-1200mm. To make the installment easier the socket and the pipe will be attached during the manufacturing process. This will ensure the tightness of the joint.


Uponor has previously worked with Destia. At this time by purchasing price, Uponor was not the cheapest option, but when looking at the overall cost the client was convinced about the cost efficiency of Uponor´s solution. “ When looking the cost of the whole lifecycle of the products, our solution is definitely the most economical.”  says Uponor´s Sales Manager Teemu Saarinen

Weholite installerat i Valdemarsvik

Weholite installerat i Valdemarsvik

1960 lät man kulvertera Fifalla-ån som rinner genom Valdemarsvik ut i Valdemars-viken. I slutet på 1800-talet byggdes Lundbergs Läderfabrik över den sista delen av ån vid utloppet men 1960 kom alltså en kulvert på plats, fram till fabriken under Storgatan som Trafikverket ansvarar för. Den kulverten bestod av galvad plåt och den förväntade livslängden var 50 år. Nu var den gränsen passerad och för ett par år sedan uppstod ett slukhål på kommunhusets parkeringsplats.

Weholite limits overflows and pollution in London

Weholite limits overflows and pollution in London

Uponor’s Weholite technology was the key solution in a unique project in London, where the Lee Tunnel and Thames Tideway tunnel have the task of capturing an average of 39 million tonnes of sewage a year from the 35 most polluting combined sewer overflows (CSOs). An upgraded pipeline system was designed to reduce the number of overflows – and their environmental impact – from the sewers and treatment systems serving London. A particular aim is to limit pollution from the sewers and treatment systems connected to the Beckton and Crossness sewage treatment works.

In Slagelse Municipality, there are requirements for the drainage of rainwater and wastewater to be separated, and therefore it was important that the wastewater solution on the street, Nordre Ringgade, was also updated in accordance with current legislation. The client has received an approved solution where the wastewater from the commercial property in no. 59 has been separated from the rainwater. The rainwater is now diverted directly from the 2,500 m2 car park.

Safe water supply for an old shipyard and sawmill area

Safe water supply for an old shipyard and sawmill area

The Pateniemi waterfront area in Oulu, Northern Finland played a role in the history of Finnish industrialisation. In the mid-19th century, its shipyard built large merchant vessels, and later it was the location of one of the largest sawmills of its time. Now, the waterfront is entering a new era with the completion of a residential area for 2,500 inhabitants. Uponor Barrier PLUS pipes – which are both durable and non-permeable – ensure a safe supply of potable water in this area that was in industrial use for over 100 years.
