Underground— EMEA— Austria— Tunneling
In particular, the AT – Drainage System was predestined for deep reaching drainage in highly variable formations. The system consists of an inner steel tube which is wrapped with a PVC-drainage pipe.
It can be employed temporarily as well as semi-permanently during drainage work parallel to tunnel advances. The AT – Drainage System is characterized by a rapid length adaptation achieved by piece-by-piece installation, with a simple lengthening of the drainage tubes also being possible in limited space at all times. Another important feature of the system is the high directional accuracy of the drainage drilling.
DSI supplied the Type AT – 76-DR Drainage System, T32 x 3,000mm AT – Drilling Rods, R32 shanks and R32-T32 transition pieces.
To provide immediate support in the open span area, DSI produced and supplied 3 bar, Types P50 / 20 / 30, P70 / 20 / 30, P95 / 25 / 30 as well as P130 / 25 / 30 PANTEX Lattice Girders including welded-on nut pairs, 1m long spacers and tilting bases with 3 struts. Excavation at the northern portal near St. Andrae was begun on April 24 th 2015, and the tunnel chain is scheduled for completion in 2020.
