Bättre vattenflöde i Frufällan

Infrakulvert Skånes Universitetssjukhuset i Malmö

Skaraborgsvatten i södra Sverige behövde ersätta sin gamla dricksvattenledning som idag är gjord av trä med en ny ledning i polyeten. Det nya systemet var inte bara enkelt och snabbt att installera - det är även slagtåligt och motstår stor mekanisk påfrestning.

Helt enligt kundens önskemål - det var exakt vad en designad lösning med Wehopanel som garanterade att en gammal pumpstation i Vellinge kommun blev renoverad och modern.

Kustzonen får kommunalt VA

En nästan två kilometer lång infrakulvert med en innerdiameter på 2,2 meter inrymmer alla rördragningar som behövs för infrastrukturen i en ny stadsdel i den sydsvenska staden Linköping. Utgrävningar i gator och bostadsområden är snart historia, eftersom allt underhåll och installationsarbete kommer att kunna utföras i infrakulverten.
 

Uponor Infra säkerställer framtidens avloppsrening med Weholite. Uponor Infras bidrag till den komplexa och prestigefulla byggnationen avser emellertid inte endast leverans av Weholite. Det omfattar även såväl projektledning och teknisk support som design och beräkningar, skräddarsydda produkter och fältservice med installation på plats - allt sammanhållet och koordinerat av Uponor Infra Projektservice.

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.
 

Flexibelt och Pålitligt

Nodra har valt att installera en Uponor Vault i området Smedby i Norrköping med utlopp i Ljura bäck. Området kallas Smedby Klimatanpassning och är ett projekt som bland annat handlar om att ta hand om förorenat dagvatten innan det når Östersjön.

 

När 250 millimetersrören Profuse ersätter gamla 150 millimetersrör i gjutjärn på en två kilometer lång sträcka i Frufällan, får samhället en betydande kapacitetsökning för den livsviktiga vattentillgången. Dessutom ger de nya rören färre beläggningar och därmed mindre servicebehov och bättre hygien.

 

I samband med ett projekt i Sigtuna levereras de första rören Ultra Rib 2 Blue. En ny generations rör med upp till 70 % reducerat koldioxidutsläpp. En betydande del av oljan till rören kommer nämligen från avfallsindustrin och är vegetabilisk.
