Case Study

Failsworth WwTW (LiMA)

2 No. 1500mm dia Pipejacks

As part of a new Waste Water Treatment centre in Failsworth, Greater Manchester, there was a requirement to cross Green Lane, opposite the site, with several ductile iron pipes ranging from 1000mm to 250mm. Additionally, 3 no. 150mm ducts for telemetry were also required.

To allow this, 2 no 1500mm pipe jacks were required to go under Green Lane at a depth of 7m and works were completed in tight working conditions.

Additionally also on site a 6m dia 6m deep shaft was also constructed.
