Where a new pipeline would have to traverse wetlands, the trenches were dug far larger than the diameter of the pipes, lined with bidim A6 followed by a thick layer of 19mm stone placed at the base. The thicker grade bidim would assist in carrying the load of the pipes, forming a reinforced base, and its high drainage capacity would allow easy dissipation of water.
The bidim used in this project was produced using
81 836 recycled cooldrink bottles.
