...convince all along the line at sewer renewal in Hessen The trend towards high quality and durable sewer systems shows no sign of slowing down in 2016. Aside from new infrastructure projects, this trend also applies for the renovation of existing installations in particular. Contractors, construction companies and last but not least manufacturers of the products used share a common interest in a future-proof wastewater disposal. Within a large-scale road reconstruc- tion concept of the Hessian municipality of Niestetal near Kassel, the competent local building authority decided to replace an existing mixed water channel in the district of Sandershausen by a completely new installation. Apart from the increased capacity required, it has been clear for the responsible persons from the very beginning that a new sewer must fulfil also the criteria of high load capacity, longevity and increased corrosion resistance in order to represent a future-proof solution. Accordingly, it was no surprise that a composite pipe made of concrete and synthetic was required in the course of the projects underlying public tender. And it was the construction company Bauer GmbH from Leinefelde-Worbis which was successful, with a bid featuring a consistent lined pipe system produced by the well established manu- facturer Tamara Grafe Beton based on the Perfect Pipe Technology developed by Schlüsselbauer Technology.
