Overview
Tudela is a municipality in the northern Spain province of Navarra known for its cathedrals and history. The city itself has 35,000 inhabitants and boasts a long tradition of history in this region of Spain.
Late in 2020, an irrigation pipe that runs under the A68 highway – a main highway that connects with Barcelona - was in need of repairs. IRETSA, a local contractor in Spain, took on the job and chose the Amex© Seal system to repair the pipes.
Challenges
There were a number of challenges facing IRETSA as the worked on a solution to rehabilitate the pipes. As the lines crossed under a major highway, there was no access other than at the entrance and exit. Digging wasn’t an option. Secondly, as the region needs irrigation water, it was vital that the job be completed as soon as possible. They didn’t have the luxury of a long installation window. That is why they chose the Amex© Seal solution.
Outcomes
After a week of hard work and limited availability of access to the pipe, the 19 Amex© Seals were successfully installed. All deadlines were met and the client was very pleased with the speed and effectiveness of the Amex© Seal system.
