Project Bayonne
The water board of the city of Bayonne supplies the drinking water for one third of the population (15,000 persons) from the valleys of Petchonea, Arquetce, Ipharager and Lapeyeren. In 2011, the Bayonne water association decided to refurbish their well shafts for drinking water supply. The refurbishment was necessary as the old bitumen coated manhole covers were leaking.
The water board put the refurbishment of about 100 shafts out to tender. The tender specifications were for manhole covers including entrance ladders and installations. The most economical bid was submitted by Miremont SEE. The construction company Miremont SEE is a specialist in refurbishing concrete shafts.
The requirements for the manhole covers were very high. They had to be completely weatherproof. The covers also had to be with safety locks and emergency escape function. The air vents are equipped with insect screens. Some covers are used for highly sensitive shafts and must therefore be attack-proof. The customer relied on our excellent quality, reliability, and experience, and the cost effectiveness of HUBER manhole covers.
The order was for in total 136 manhole covers, which we delivered not all at the same time but in the course of several months. Security of supply must be guaranteed at all times. Installation was a real logistic challenge because the manholes had to be installed at difficult to access places. But due to our perfect preparation and our easy-to-install products we had no problem to promise and meet a fixed delivery date. Several employees of the company Miremont worked on site for more than five months.
HUBER manhole covers are an investment into the future. HUBER stainless steel products are acid-treated in a pickling bath and passivated. They are maintenance-free, rainproof, attack-proof and state-of-the-art. The working conditions for the operators have also been improved. The manhole covers are easy to open thanks to the integrated gas pressure springs. Their entrances now meet the applicable accident prevention regulations and reliably protect potable water.
