We see the impossible as a challenge Let us explain how we solve impossible assignments that protect and transport water, air, electricity, telephone and data. Tasks where current products and solutions are not enough. Assignments where we take responsibility from the first blueprint and project management, to the completed installation and continued service.
Assignments that require over 60 years experience and expertise to solve complex projects with many involved. Assignments with underground infrastructural challenges. We make the impossible, possible.

Design & calculations We know what you should bury Calculations, estimates and dimensions are essential for a project’s long-term success. Our team of expert designers has the highest competence and extensive experience. You have to know what you are burying. Know what outer and inner stresses the materials, couplings and joints will be subjected to – pressure, movement, temperature
What we can do • 3D drawings of the desired solution • Calculations for hydraulics and flow • 2D FEM simulations to ensure that different stresses such as refilling, ground water and/or external loads, do not affect the outcome of the final solution. • 3D FEM simulations for such things as fittings, manholes and PE structures. • Welding calculations • Calculations for positioning of lift points • Simulations for marine installations. • Service life calculations

differences, vegetation etc. What happens, for example, to a pipe that needs to work on the ocean floor, 30 metres down? Or underground with extensive movement? Together with you, our product developers and colleagues out in the field, we design the right solution for your specific challenge. An optimised and cost effective solution with excellent safety margins that minimizes risks of any unpleasant surprises in the future.

Customised products Combines competence and technology A custom solution is not just optimal for the purpose. It also significantly shortens installation time. With our skilled production team and unique technology, we develop the best solution. Our department for customised solutions is equipped with the latest technology and the best tools. Our colleagues are skilled craftsmen, specialised in the de-
Technology developed by Uponor Weholite enables 100% customised solutions in dimensions from 300 mm up to 3500 mm. The pipes used for complete systems for transporting liquids or gases underground, under water or above ground, are made of polyethylene or polypropylene with smooth inner and outer surfaces. In addition to pipes, complete systems are manufactured with, for example, pump, separator and measurement technology. 06 Uponor Infra 360° Project Service
velopment and manufacturing of solutions for the most difficult and complicated assignments. Many of our solutions involve using our technology, Weholite. With Weholite, each individual pipe is 100% customisable regarding such things as length, wall thickness, stiffness and colour. The pipe has unique durability, high chemical resistance and good impact strength down to-20 °C.

Technical support Creative support throughout the process Technical support can provide you with support online, training sessions, handbooks, manuals, analyses, simulations and tests. Active technical support is also included during the development of your project. In addition to specialised expertise on plastic piping and accessories, we have cutting edge competence and
extensive experience of other matter surrounding infrastructure projects. In our modern laboratories, we can simulate how a proposed solution will work based on the effects of, for example, pressure, sunlight and chemicals. In this way, we can minimise risks and find the best solution for each individual project.

Field service Secure on-site installation Welding pipe that is to lie on the bottom of the ocean or laying pipe in other extreme environments requires special expertise. Furthermore, all projects require knowledge of safety, health and environmental regulations. Our field service has this competence. Our field service offers all types of installation services – that always focus on safety and knowledge of local
requirements. It can involve anything from specialised welding to diving during marine installations. In cases where we are not responsible for installation, we offer construction management. This means that we take on the role of a third-party inspector. We ensure that all entrepreneurs follow what was agreed upon regarding local requirements and methods.

Project management One contact throughout the entire project For your convenience, highest quality and optimal cost efficacy, you receive a project manager that takes care of everything. Our project managers are responsible for everything, from contacts and deadlines to analyses and evaluations, throughout the project. The bigger and more complex a project, the more important it is that contact is often and contact persons few.
Our project managers are experts and have extensive experience in planning and organising projects. They are responsible for ensuring that suppliers and sub-contractors fulfil their obligations. In addition, they analyse and evaluate the work during the project. By controlling resources and routines, they ensure that deadlines, set safety margins and quality standards are met.

Case: Marine pipelines with enormous capacity
The Philippine oil refinery, Petron Bataan Refinery, needed to strengthen its competitive edge through increased production. It required,. a secure and large intake of cooling water. Our international team of project service experts were assigned calculation of the hydraulics and mechanics; and to develop and handle installation of cooling intake
and outflow. The chosen solution was Weholite, which neither corrodes nor requires maintenance as other materials do. Production was done in Thailand. A team of experts from Vaasa, Finland, were responsible for project management, welding and installation. After completion, a satisfied customer was able to note that they could lay down up to 200 m of pipe per day.
Project: Cooling water intake and outfall pipelines for the Philippines’ largest crude oil refinery. Challenge: Turnkey solution in marine environment. Solution: 610 meter Weholite SN4 ID 2400 mm and 450 metre SN4 ID 2200 mm. Client: Petron Bataan Refinery

Case: 1.8 km infratunnel for all media
In the Swedish university city of Linköping, a whole new district is being built that focuses on social and ecological sustainability. The challenge for Tekniska verken in Linköping, was that the planned housing area had a very high ground water level, poor soil conditions and ground containing clay,
silt and rock. Traditional laying was nearly impossible. The assignment was, that together with Uponor Infra, to develop, design and install an infratunnel that would contain media for drinking, water, waste water, electricity, telecommunications, heating and cooling. The 1.8 km long tunnel is made of Weholite dimension 2200 mm. Infratunnel Vallastaden is a patented concept.
Project: Infratunnel for all media in a new district. Challenge: Calculation, dimensioning and installation. Solution: Infratunnel Vallastaden. 1.8 km long of Weholite in dimension 2200 mm. Cooperation partner: Tekniska verken i Linköping AB

Case: Europe's largest plastic road culverts
Nature in northern Finnmark is harsh, rugged and relentless. Temperatures can reach extremes of -50 °C. During the coldest winter months, it is dark twenty-four hours a day. But people must be able to travel between the eastern and western parts year round. The roadway needed to be modernised. It required large culverts that could endure the harsh demands.
The solution became Europe’s largest road culvert of Weholite, installed under long work days to take advantage of the sunlight. Included in the solution was, i.e. securing the area’s abundant fish life. A thick layer of gravel and stone on the drainage pipe’s floor reduced the water’s speed so that fish could easily make it through.
Project: A road transport over the fjord in Ifordfjell in northern Finnmark. Challenge: Rivers with rapids, inaccessible terrain, extreme cold, abundant wildlife and short installation times. Solution: Road culvert of Weholite; 44 metres long with a diameter of 3.5 metres. Client: Statens Vegvesen Region Nord
