Sewer Force Main Rehabilitation, Germany

In October 2025, a DN800 sewer force main was rehabilitated at a campsite near Koblenz, Germany.
The construction site was located directly at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers, creating significant spatial and logistical constraints that required a carefully planned trenchless rehabilitation approach.
Medium Diameter Project Length Pipe Conditions Rehabilitation Method
Sewer Force Main DN 800 (31.5") 113 meters (371 feet) DN800 sewer force main with limited access via 60/80 T-joints, located in a confined riverside area where excavation was not possible. NORDIFLOW W

Project Challenges

  • Construction site located at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers

  • Extremely limited working space, restricted to paved pathways

  • Open trench excavation not permitted

  • Pipeline access only possible via 60/80 T-joints in manholes

  • Very limited maneuverability for liner installation

  • No possibility to enlarge manholes or excavate intermediate pits in case of failure

  • High installation risk under constrained site conditions

  • On-site impregnation of approx. 3.5 tons of resin required precise process control
