Large-diameter drains and sewers: installation, operation and maintenance

Large-diameter pipes are the backbone of drain, sewer and other conduit systems. Their installation, operation and maintenance confront system operators with great challenges, however IKT's application-orientated research projects and comparative testing of products and methods assist in achieving better comprehension of the complex interaction between quality requirements and cost-efficiency, in generating new knowledge, and in directly implementing the results in practice. Typical topics include open-trench and trenchless installation, cleaning, inspection, condition assessment and renovation.
