An HDPE solution for a large-diameter pipe under low pressure
The construction of a new technical building to house the new UV disinfection equipment and related services, the installation of underground bypass and transfer lines, as well as various modifications to existing infrastructure. The underground pipes will convey wastewater while meeting critical requirements, including lifespan, a low-pressure application, ease and speed of installation and corrosion resistance of the pipes to wastewater.
A new bypass line for the secondary treatment system, 475 meters long (1558.4 ft), was installed. This 1500 mm (59 in) diameter pipe has seven elbows and two access chimneys. Two transfer lines, 2400 mm (94.4 in) in diameter and 15 m (49.2 ft) long were set to receive disinfected water and direct it to the outfall chamber.
For Les Entreprises Jallex, this was the first major collaboration with Soleno Service. The client's requirements in terms of safety and working methodology led us to make several adjustments which required considerable flexibility in the execution of the work.

In this project, turnaround times, cold temperatures and site conditions have led to technical, administrative and organizational challenges that have all moved us forward. We were able to adapt to the conditions and have performed the work on time.
