Description

The Tamazunchale pipeline is a 130 km pipeline in East-Central Mexico. Due to its installation in an area with unstable soil conditions, an alternative solution to open trench has been selected: the construction of a microtunnel in rocky layers, with the installation of reinforced concrete pipes ID1800 mm, total length approximately 670 m.
