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 .
