By order of Przedsiębiorstwo Robót Inżynieryjnych CENTRUM, MIDO company executed stormwater drainage connections 225 mm and 315 mm in diameter, about 14 meters long each. Installation took place in Wrzeszcz, a district of the city of Gdansk, in the area of busy Grunwaldzka Avenue, even in the evening.

Sewer connections had to be made with a precisely set slope between the infrastructure of the building under construction and the existing retention system. The connection point was the existing DN1200 sewage well, located in the middle lane of Aleja Grunwaldzka.

The drilling process was carried out by pilot drilling, from the starting chamber with the Gravity Drilling Rig placed in it, to the well located on the street. Pilot drilling required high precision, which was a factor in achieving the desired gravity drop of the installation.

After obtaining a drilling head of a sewage well, it was equipped with a head enabling simultaneous drilling of a hole and installation of a sewage system.

The sections of the sewer pipe were made of Modular Pipes, connected directly to each other in the sewer well. It is worth saying that our technology of joining and sealing pipe segments ensures effective, tight and durable connection, which guarantees the highest quality and durability of the entire installation. The MIDO company has the certificate of the Building Research Institute for the Modular Pipes used.

Then, by pulling the drilling head back from the well into the starting trench, an installation consisting of successively connected pipe segments was made.

A very important advantage of the technology with the use of the Gravity Drilling Rig is the high efficiency of implementation, especially in installations requiring very high precision and accuracy of gravity drop. Another advantage is the lack of any need to interfere with the existing infrastructure. The technology allows for 100% trenchless installation. This results in the lack of generating any communication and other difficulties for the local society and the lack of additional construction and social costs related to the construction of installations in the construction area. Reducing the installation time with the help of Gravity Drilling technology means significant savings for local budgets. It is also support in the care for a clean environment, clean air, it is the fight against smog and environmental friendliness in construction processes.
