Project Quirnbach, Germany

DN1400: 200M long Pipeline in the Quirnbach dam is installed using microtunneling.

The severe slope in this project brings along some practical difficulties. Walking trough the tunnel becomes more a ascension and high static water pressures become a real test for the slurry pumps.
