In Rottenbach, between Weissenburg and Roth, a replacement water transfer main with a length of 3.6 km is build. The principal reason for this main is damage to portions of the old line. In order to guarantee a drinking water supply for the Franconian economic area, a new replacement main has been under construction in parallel to the old route for several years. This year, the company Kassecker is involved in this construction for the second time.

A new SENNEBOGEN 650 HD crawler crane has been hired especially for this job from the extensive rental park of IBS GmbH.

This machine was chosen for the job because of the excellent load capacities and its flexibility on the site. The pipes were placed in the pipe trench as so-called triplets. This means that three pipes are prepared outside of the trench and then placed in the trench as one. The SENNEBOGEN 650 HD is impressive even when making the triplets because of its enormous power and sensitive control. The welded pipes then have an overall length of 48 meters and a weight of approx. 24 tonnes. Lowering and positioning the pipes is done using two crawler cranes. This proven method and the SENNEBOGEN machines optimize the construction time. Paul Zant of Kassecker is completely convinced of the efficiency, robustness and flexibility of the SENNEBOGEN 650 HD. „A powerful and extremely reliable machine. The optimal solution for us", say Paul Zant.

The legendary HD crawler crane by SENNEBOGEN has been being used very successfully in various branches around the world for over 50 years. The competence and the years of experience ensure high-performance machines for the latest technology, excellent stability and quality. The HD crawler crane product range by SENNEBOGEN includes 8 models with load capacities of 30 - 200 t and engine performance data from 148 - 570 kW. SENNEBOGEN crawler cranes are not only satisfying in the standard applications such as drag-buckets, grabbers and crane work but also as very powerful carrier machines. Subterraneous curtain mills, drilling, drawing and ramming equipment are highly complex and in hydraulic terms, sophisticated special construction devices. These areas require reliable and powerful machinery. SENNEBOGEN has been a powerful and innovative partner for years.
