HOBAS CC-GRP Culverts DN 3000 Jacked Under Railway

When a pipeline route crosses a railway embankment, jacking is usually the optimal installation method as it does not require disruptions in rail traffic. In the village of Cikowice in Southern Poland, four culverts with a diameter of 3000 mm and a length of 34 m each have been jacked under a railway line for the sake of flood control. HOBAS Poland supplied the required GRP pipes for this challenging project.
