When the 250 mm-pipes Profuse replaced old 150 mm-pipes of cast-iron for a two km long distance in Frufällan, municipality will have an important capacity increase for the vitally important water supply. Furthermore the new pipes give less covers and by that less service need and better hygiene.
Background
With the start at beginning of October 2009 a graduation of water pipes is going on Skogsrydsvägen in Frufällan outside Borås. A popular area which needs to be prepared for new houses and increased moving in with higher capacity for the water handling! The road is approx. two km and the work is calculated to be ready in February 2010. The work is ordered by Borås town and it is the Service office which carries out the job. The new pipes come mainly from Uponor.
Solution
The capacity increase is facilitated by the change from the old 150 mm pipes to Uponor’s pressure pipe system Profuse with the diameter 250 mm. Besides a distance of about 500 m where excavating was needed, the new pipes are drawn by pipe cracking. One takes stage by stage, transports poles through the old pipes and fixes the new pipe in the other end. Then the new pipes are pulled back and land right without devastating digging is needed. Pipe cracking is used on the remaining distance for 1,8 km.
“So besides the capacity increase with an increased diameter, you will now have a more hygienic pipe.”
Pipe cracking is a flexible method when new pipes will replace old ones. There will be less disturbances and ground damages. The risks are in crossing pipes and if the pipe should not go deep enough. Then cracks or damages can arise. To minimize the risks the constructors have a good check on all available pipes and they film both before and after the job.
Result
The pressure pipes Profuse replace the old cast iron pipes. So besides the capacity raising with an increased diameter, you will furthermore get a more hygienic pipe. Cast iron has an inclination to put on many coats which risk stopping the flow completely. Such coats cannot come up in a plastic pipe. The new pipes on Skogsrydsvägen can be seen as a first step. “Quite certain more lengths will have new pipes with higher capacity onwards”, Magnus Eriksson, foreman on the Service office Borås town, says.

The power supply to the East Helsinki metro network will be protected with Uponor FastGuard
In the fall of 2024, a groundbreaking electrical renovation was carried out on the metro line between Siilitie and Kulosaari in Helsinki. The aim was to improve the metro line's power supply and ensure its functionality during potential faults as part of a broader ring network solution. The project utilized FastGuard cable protection developed by Uponor, which is lightweight, durable, and quick to install.
Uponor Flowise drinking water solution to Levi's tourism mecca
The ski slopes of Levi attract thousands of tourists every year. Water consumption varies greatly, which is why the water intake plant in Kirakka in Levi was renovated to meet the consumption peaks during peak seasons. As part of the project, Uponor delivered two huge reservoir tanks to ensure sufficient supply of clean water in the area.
