Urgent Rehabilitation of District Heating Pipeline beneath Bridges, Bosnia

This rehabilitation project took place in Banja Luka, Bosnia. It focused on heat distribution pipelines running beneath Gradski Most and Rebrovacki Most bridges.

Medium Diameter Project Length Pipe Conditions Operating Temperature Operating Pressure Rehabilitation Method
Heating Water DN514 & DN259 (20" & 10") 267m (876 ft) Corrosion damage and recurring leakages. 75°C (167℉) 8 bar (116 psi) NORDIFLOW HT

Project Challenges

  • The difficulties were the access of the pipes, they were running under bridges with heavy traffic. The pipelines contained DN514 and DN259 thermal mains operating at 75°C and 8 bar, all of which sustained corrosion damage and recurring leakages requiring CIPP lining restoration.

  • The repair work was highly urgent, since the DN514 pipes supplied roughly 30% of Banja Luka's total thermal energy demand, which meant relining these large-diameter pipes became the absolute top priority for the whole project.
