Slavonia is a region in eastern Croatia and known as the country’s breadbasket. To ensure a successful harvest, a reliable irrigation system is necessary – and this is why 513 m Amiblu Hobas Pipes De 2047 have been jacked as part of a large-scale irrigation project.

Croatia’s so far most challenging jacking project realized with Amiblu Hobas Pipes by the construction company and jacking expert Aquaterm passes beneath a highway and a railroad line. Three parallel sections were drilled as planned in order to align the jacking pipes accurately. Heavy rain and snowfall during the construction works posed a challenge to both the workers and the equipment, but not to Amiblu Hobas Pipes, which can be laid regardless of weather conditions. The project attracted strong interest from the entire Alps-Adriatic region: Design, construction, and financial experts from Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, and Slovenia visited the site and were introduced to jacking technologies.

The investor is more than satisfied with the unique characteristics of Amiblu Hobas Products and the quick installation – as a matter of fact, he is using Amiblu Hobas Pipes of the same diameter in a follow-up order for another irrigation project.
