A premium package – textile-covered reinforced-concrete pipes for wastewater disposal
Pipelines are used for the cost-effective transport of a wide range of media. To ensure their continued operational reliability, they must not only be tight and exhibit a high hydraulic or pneumatic performance but also be capable of withstanding loads without damage.
Excavators are normally used for civil works and also for the pipeline installation process itself. Special lifting equipment is necessary to handle diameters larger than DN 2000 owing to the heavy pipe segments, which makes the installation of large pipes very costly.
In the field of wastewater disposal, reinforced-concrete pipes with two steel reinforcement cages are used for diameters larger than DN 1300. Unlike such conventional reinforced-concrete pipes, composite textile-covered concrete pipes are characterized by the fact that the textile cover protects the pipe from any external factors...
