Under the bridge on Via Mercalli, at the exit of Cagliari, it "rains" non-stop. Even if it is covered. Hundreds of liters of water lost every day, due to a broken pipe that needs to be replaced , which causes real waterfalls that start from the bridge and fill the underpass with water. With the need to proceed with maintenance work as soon as possible, to stop the leak and waste: " The work will be carried out in the next few weeks, as soon as the material ordered to start the construction site arrives ", says Abbanoa, which communicates how the intervention has been scheduled but - also - how the pipes are not yet available.
The entire line, about 80 meters long, will be completely redone. The pipeline brings water to the commercial and artisanal activities of Is Pontis Paris, in front of the fire department headquarters on Viale Marconi . "It consists of six large steel pipes, each twelve meters long," explains the company. "Plus the special anchoring and connection pieces to the pipelines on both sides of the bridge."
"The intervention was prepared to address the critical issues of the old pipes that are subject to continuous leaks," concludes Abbanoa, "which are followed by constant repair interventions. The works have been included among the priorities of the maintenance plan of the Cagliari District ." The old pipes are anchored to the crossing of the Terramaini canal.
