Cable route for new 110 kV lines to Leipzig I substation (Thekla)
EMDS protective pipe PE100 for pipe bundle insertion

As part of extensive expansion work for the energy supply of Leipzig's city centre, a new cable route to the Leipzig I substation must be constructed. The route runs through the busy Kieler Straße /­ Essener Straße area, among other places. In order to avoid long-lasting traffic restrictions, the planners decided to lay a PE line protection pipe using the trenchless Horizontal Directional drilling method with subsequent PE pipe bundle insertion.
