Case Study: Stockholm Vatten achieves faster, safer drinking water pipeline installation with Victaulic

Stockholm Vatten cuts pipe installation time by 30% with Victaulic

Stockholm Vatten, the water utility for the city of Stockholm, required an expansion of its drinking water network. The project's challenges included working in confined spaces, accommodating for pipeline deflection, and maintaining a compressed construction schedule. Victaulic partnered with the project's engineer to provide its Advanced Groove System (AGS) and Original Groove System (OGS) solutions for joining the new pipelines.

The Victaulic system used flexible couplings that provided angular deflection at each joint, eliminating the need for additional bends and reducing material costs. The couplings were significantly faster to install than alternative methods, saving installers around 30% or more in time, which accelerated the overall schedule. As a result of this successful project, Stockholm Vatten has adopted the Victaulic system and expanded its use to other water municipalities within Sweden.
