The transport of drinking water from the waterworks in Münster is now carried out by fully welded egeplast pipe systems.

The close-fit method with pre-shaped PE pipes is a highly efficient and sustainable pipe rehabilitation method for old drinking water pipes.

In Germany, the water sector is considered critical infrastructure, the failure or impairment of which would lead to long-term supply bottlenecks and significant disruptions to public life.

Stadtwerke Roth has begun the Installation of a new drinking water network pipeline from the Roth waterworks to secure the drinking water supply in the long term.

Supply and operational reliability have absolute priority for Stadtwerke Lichtenfels. When constructing a new drinking water pipeline through impassable and difficult-to-access terrain using trench-reduced and trenchless installation methods, they therefore used the fully monitored egeplast SLM® DCS pipe system – for maximum safety.

During the rehabilitation of the main water pipe in Hötensleben, the local water supplier and wastewater disposal company TAV Börde faced major challenges. Due to the demanding route and narrow access roads, the egeplast ege-Liner® was used in Close-Fit-Lining – an efficient and environmentally friendly solution.

In Eastern England, egeplast UK is making a significant contribution to the extensive modernization of the water network in East Ruston, near Norwich, England.

To secure the water supply for people in the region, the Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesische Wasserverband (OOWV) is building a new drinking water transport pipeline.

To improve the drinking water supply, a transmission pipeline for treated drinking water was laid in Aspach – partly without sand bedding using open-cut construction, and partly using the trenchless drilling method.

Using controlled plow laying, IFK has installed numerous drinking water and wastewater pipes trenchlessly in the Czech Republic.

In the heart of downtown Groningen / Netherlands, a cast iron drinking water pipe from 1882 was renewed with the egeplast SLA® Barrier Pipe System using the horizontal directional drilling method. Due to the busy city center and difficult soil conditions, particularly precise and careful work was required.

PE pipe systems have been in use for 70 years now. Experience shows that suitable pipe systems made of PE material can be operated reliably and economically for many decades within their operational limits with correct Installation and assembly.

Esslingen municipal utility rehabilitated an old cast iron pipeline trenchlessly using burstlining. They were able to significantly reduce effort and costs compared to traditional rehabilitation methods. Due to the high requirements, they used the egeplast SLM® DCT pipe system with integrated quality inspection.

For many decades, socket connections have been a proven pipe connection technology in drinking water supply and a practical alternative to welding. In the current issue of 3R (01-02|2020), the egeplast egeMDR PE socket pressure pipe system with REINOGRIP push-fit socket from Reinert-Ritz is closely examined, using the example of Stadtwerke Sundern.

The SLA® Barrier Pipe from egeplast is a safe and proven solution for clean drinking water in pipelines in contaminated soils. With 30 years of experience, egeplast offers a complete system with suitable connection technology for quick and easy Installation, even using the horizontal directional drilling method.
