22@ urban networks in Poble Nou district
Installation of a network of pre-insulated hot and cold water pipes for the heating and air conditioning of buildings and facilities in the 22@ area of the Barcelona’s Poble Nou district.
Work includes: redefinition of networks, expansion studies, technical purchasing of piping, values and instrumentation, digging of trenches, laying and welding of pipes, coating of joints between pipes, chemical cleaning, electrical continuity tests and hydraulic tests and refilling of trenches and replacements.
Particularly complex was the installation of networks at two crossroads on the Avinguda Diagonal thoroughfare, done with horizontal drilling, with a length in each key of 70 metres and a depth of 8 metres, with inspection manholes (access and reception shafts) at each of the two ends.
