SUBSTITUTE WOODEN PIPE FOR IRON PIPE
BEGIN SERIAL PRODUCTION OF WOODEN PIPE -- Belgrade, Politika, 6 Aug 51
Maribor, 5 August -- The Municipal Construction Enterprise Workshop in
Maribor has recently begun the serial construction of wooden pipe which is to
be used in water systems, sewage systems in industrial enterprises, and for
pipelines, tubing, and other irrigation equipment. Having an internal diameter
of 80 centimeters, this pipe withstands water pressure of 6 atmospheres. It in
more flexible than iron pipe, and can withstand changes in temperature well.
During September, production is to begin on wooden pipe with an internal diam-
eter of 2 meters, which is to be used in hydroelectric power plants.
The production of wooden pipe as a substitute for iron pipe will result in
savings of millions of dinars in foreign exchange credits, because Yugoslavia
has had to export large quantities of wood to pay for the import of iron pipe.
The best material for this pipe is fir, spruce, and especially larch from
the Pokljuka region in Gorenjeko and the hilly areas of Pohorje.
The pipe is not completely made of wood, but is reinforced with coils of
steel wire wound around the exterior. The Municipal Construction Enterprise in
Maribor will be able to produce about 400 meters of such pipe daily. Its work-
shop is to serve as a foundation for a projected factory in Maribor, which is
to be able to fill the demand for wooden pipe in Yugoslavia.
ZAGORJE WATER SYSTEM BEING COMPLETED -- Zagreb, Vjesnik, 3 Jul 51
Split, 2 July -- In Sibenik and Drnis srezes, the Zagorje water system is
under construction. Next to the Istrien system, this is the largest water sys-
tem in Yugoslavia. By a system of pumping stations and reservoirs, water will
be supplied from small Tore Lake on the left bank of the Krka River to the en-
tire area between Arnie and Perkovic which has more than 40,000 inhabitants.

Construction work on a pumping station at the lake, a residential building for
engineers, and two reservoirs with a total capacity of 1,600 cubic meters have
been completed. Seven and a half kilometers of conduit pipes have been laid
and about 20 kilometers of excavation have been finished.
The new water system will be able to supply 50 liters of water per second.
