A football field, two meters underwater. And that within one hour. That is the amount of wastewater the installations at the pressure station in Bergen op Zoom pump every sixty minutes towards the treatment plant in Bath, Zeeland. The wastewater pressure pipeline between Moerdijk and Bath is the beating heart of regional water management. Distributed over two pipelines, together 60 kilometers long, wastewater from 35 villages and towns is transported at high speed to the treatment plant.
To ensure this wastewater can continue to be transported safely in the future, several sections of the pressure pipeline have been renewed. Various pipe types with minimal tolerance space were precisely connected using five robust Repico® STFL DN1500 couplings. During the renewal of this pipeline, it was necessary to transition between existing PSK concrete pipes and Bonna Sentab VSP pipes to new GRP pipes. For this purpose, five Repico® STFL DN1500 couplings were produced.
