New manhole chambers installed and the pipework adapted to the new layout.

We lay more than just pipes.
Further than Zurich–Bern!Beneath every fuel station lies a network no one sees – yet it has to carry everything. For over 30 years we've used PE plastic pipes in Swiss station construction, making us pioneers. Today we lay PE, steel and stainless steel: single-walled, double-walled, pressure-monitored.

PIONEERS BY CONVICTION
Plastic, while others were still rusting
From 1997 we built Switzerland's first fuel stations with plastic pipework and brought the first PE piping system to approval here. For over 30 years we've been laying flexible PE systems from various manufacturers for underground installation – suction or pressure, whichever suits the project.
And because no two installations are the same, we also master steel and stainless steel. At AGROLA Sirnach in 2025, for instance, we used PE pipes from NUPI.
WHAT WE LAY
Pipe types & sizes
| Size | Design | |
|---|---|---|
| PE (plastic) | 32–160 mm | single- and double-walled |
| Steel, welded | up to 4" | welded |
| Steel, threaded | up to 4" | threaded |
| Stainless steel | – | welded or press-fitted |
| PE product line | 32–110 mm | flexible PE system for underground use |
| PE leak detection / outer pipe | 40–160 mm | for double-walled systems |
DOUBLE IS SAFER
Double-walled systems
| Inner pipe | Outer pipe | |
|---|---|---|
| 32/40 | 32 mm | 40 mm |
| 50/63 | 50 mm | 63 mm |
| 63/75 | 63 mm | 75 mm |
| 90/110 | 90 mm | 110 mm |
| 110/125 | 110 mm | 125 mm |
WHAT FOR?
Every line has a job
ProductSuction & pressure linesFrom tank to dispenser – for suction and pressure systems.
FillingRemote fill linesPressure-monitored plastic lines: the tanker parks out of the way and doesn't block the station.
VapoursVapour recovery stage I & IISo petrol vapours go back into the tank instead of into the air.
AirVent linesNeatly routed vent lines – entirely in PE, for example.
AdBlueAdBlue linesDouble-walled or heated in a protective sleeve, so nothing freezes in winter.
ChambersManhole, fill & pump chambersThe lines end leak-tight – for example in PetroSump PE manhole chambers.
WHY PE?
Doesn't rust. Never rusts.
- Faster, more affordable installation
- Maintenance-free and corrosion-free
- Fully welded and leak-tight
- Flexible when the tank or ground moves
- Low friction losses
- For new builds and conversions
