CaseStudy 35 - Trenchless Pipeline Renewal with SIMONA® SPC RC-Line Pipes
In the town of Baden, Switzerland, a drinking water transport and supply pipeline that was over 60
years old was renewed along the same route using the pipe bursting method. The contractor,
Brunschwiler AG, a leading civil engineering company specialising in trenchless pipe renewal,
required a pipe that would meet the engineering challenges associated with the replacement of the
72 metre section. SIMONA® SPC RC drinking water pipes were identified as the perfect solution.

Case Study 34 - Efficient biogas plant fitted with
SIMONA® PE 100
Case Study 34 - Operating throughout Europe, agriKomp GmbH is a company specialising in the
development and manufacture of biogas plants. All the major components of the plants are
manufactured in-house. Owing to their modular design, they can be added to at any time, providing a
very high level of flexibility. The digestion process uses liquid manure, dung, green material,
silage and cereal. The key components of the biogas plants have to be made of a material with
maximum corrosion resistance. Therefore, agriKomp GmbH opted for SIMONA® PE 100.

Case Study 32 - Railway line drainage with SIMONA® SIMODRAIN® pipes
Case Study 32 - BLS Netz AG operates a rail network spanning more than 900 km. Direct proximity to
Lake Thun and Lake Brienz as well as minuscule differences in altitude regularly cause the
groundwater level to rise and penetrate the trackbed. To prevent the trackbed from being
destabilised, the existing drainage system made of concrete pipes was renewed with SIMODRAIN®
drainage pipes.
