Pipe renewal in the Urbanizacion "Amancayas Sud" in Cochabamba/Bolivia
The document details a pipe renewal project in the suburb "Amancayas Sud" in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The project involves replacing 4000 - 5000 meters of the main water line due to significant water loss, up to 65%, in the existing network.
Contractor and Equipment:
The contractor for this project is TERRA LATINOAMERICA S.R.L., utilizing the TERRA-HYDROCRACK HC 600 S hydraulic rod burster.
Project Specifications:
- Total Length: 5000 meters, divided into 100-meter sections.
- Productivity: 200 meters per day, achieving 1 kilometer per week.
- Pipe Specifications: HDPE pipe with an outer diameter of 60 - 110 mm.
- Backream Diameter: 133 mm.
Procedure:
The process involves lowering the TERRA-HYDROCRACK HC 600 S into a pit, assembling a cutting rod with three cutters, and cracking the old pipe. The expander cone and new HDPE pipe are then pulled into place.
Visual Aids:
