Abstract


The mission of this huge under-river sewer is to carry the waste water from the left bank of the Danube to the other side of the river where a large sewage treatment plant is being constructed. In order to carry out its 375 m in length and 2.4 m inside diameter, where several drain pipes and ducts for remote heating and supply of electric power are housed, a system of pressure propulsion has been sed. This system is based on a series of hydraulic presses, which gradually insert into the ground the prefabricated reinforced concrete tubular elements, 3 m in length, which form the sewer. The work on the aforementioned sewer is completed with a pumping well located on the left bank and originated by the difference in level between the connections of the respective sewers on each side of the river — as well as a collection well, situated on the right bank, which links up with the main sewer of the treatment plant. Both wells are built with reinforced concrete.
