Near Lyon (France), the company Orangina Suntory installed a double pipeline for mineral water to reach a spring 6.5 km away. The route led through both a national park and contaminated industrial land. The SLA® Barrier Pipe was used, which is permeation-resistant to protect drinking water and the environment.
Challenges
- The mineral water in the pipes must be protected from contamination from the surrounding soil.
- A tight schedule had to be met, as the pipes also run through a nature park that is only accessible for installation work in winter.
- Tight timeframe for pipe delivery, welding, and installation of the system.
Solution
Permeation-resistant, weldable pipe system
Installation
Open Trench Installation of the double pipeline
