dr inż. Beata Nienartowicz, Wrocław University of Science and Technology

Wrocław University of Science and Technology graduate. Professionally interested in the issues related to the trenchless renovation of water and sewage pipes, with particular emphasis on design issues, including computer modelling of pipelines’ work renovated using trenchless methods. She defended her doctoral dissertation on research and load capacity analysis of GRP panels used for relining projects. At present, she is a Wrocław University of Science and Technology employee and the head of the design department at GSG Industria.

Workshops – ABC of trenchless technologies

The aim of the workshops is to provide basic information and introduction into the wide field of trenchless construction and technical rehabilitation of pipelines. Participation in the workshop is to give the audience the ability to distinguish particular technologies, knowledge of the purpose and main conditions for their use, as well as knowledge about the basic limitations and requirements related to the preparation of implementation using these technologies (from the technical side).

Part I
Technologies of trenchless pipeline construction – classification, justification of use, areas of application, advantages and disadvantages compared to alternative solutions, basic aspects of design. Technology presentation: e.g. HDD, microtunelling, hybrid solutions, hydraulic jacks.

Part II
Technologies of trenchless technical rehabilitation of pipelines – classification, definitions, justification of application and areas of application, basic aspects of design. Technology presentation: e.g. pipe lining, sliplining, SPR, CIPP, construction chemicals, spot repairs, repairs including robots.
