In order to expand its capacity, a 100mm-diameter concrete pipe is to be replaced by a 1,300mm-diameter steel-core pipe along 1,050m and… +
Close-fit lining work in the Rabat Medina: season 2
Rue 38 got all dressed up to the 9’s with the setup of the first liners.
In our first episode, both the preparatory work and the routing of the liners were ongoing.
In-field training, still provided by Cyrille MAUFAY, continued in December with the laying of the first stretches of close-fit lining.
Rue 38 (a top priority in the programme prepared by Redal) was therefore transformed for a few days into a trenchless works demonstration area.
The aim of the first drive was to rehabilitate a 30m, 300-diameter stretch between too shallow manholes. Every stage of the protocol was followed:… +
