SUSTAINABLE GRP PIPE SYSTEMS TRENCHLESS PIPE INSTALLATION MICROTUNNELING IS THE MOST SUSTAINABLE OPTION WHEN NEW PIPES HAVE TO BE INSTALLED, ESPECIALLY IN DENSELY POPULATED AREAS. INSTALLING THE PIPES WITHOUT OPENING UP TRENCHES HAS A NUMBER OF ADVANTAGES. THE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON RESIDENTS, TRANSPORT SERVICES AND NATURE ARE FAR LESS THAN WITH OPEN TRENCH INSTALLATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE HIGH CO 2 EMISSIONS. THIS IS WHY THE AMIBLU GROUP RELIES ON MICROTUNNELING TO LAY ITS GLASS FIBER-REINFORCED PIPES (GRP). SMART TECHNOLOGY With microtunneling, a fully automatic tunnel boring machine digs from an approximately 12 meter-long starting shaft at a depth of 8 to 14 meters to a receiving shaft. The boring machine is pushed forward step by step by hydraulic cylinders. The individual GRP pipe sections are inserted one after the other behind the machine, and so push the pipeline further and further forward. The machine is removed when it reaches the receiving shaft and the pipeline behind it is finished. ENVIRONMENT AND LOCAL RESIDENTS PROTECTED The technology of microtunneling allows the entire construction of a new pipeline between the start and end points to be done out of the sight and mind of the public. This makes it possible to install the pipes under busy roads and in built-up areas without causing traffic congestion, stress or nuisance. This procedure also does away with heavy construction machinery for digging trenches and removing soil, and significantly reduces CO 2 emissions. PIPELINE FOR GENERATIONS Pipelines from Amiblu are safeguarding key infrastructure worldwide for future generations. Thanks to optimized production methods as well as superior raw materials, the pipes now have a service life of over 150 years. The individual sections of pipe are designed with a smooth outer shell especially for micro-tunneling so as to reduce the energy required to advance them through the tunnel. They are coated on the inside to ensure maximum flow. This code will take you to the online version of the brochure in the language of your choice: Page 18 | 19
