UOS GROUP Brand Pillar

Environment

We support sustainable development and care for the natural environment through innovative drilling technologies and solutions supporting the discovery of new geothermal energy deposits.

Technologies that contribute to positive change towards climate neutrality

As a group of UOS Group Companies, we offer many technologies that allow us to contribute to positive changes towards achieving climate neutrality by offering environmentally friendly technological solutions.

Poland's raw materials policy until 2050 assumes, among other things, increased use of geothermal energy, underground storage of substances and storage of CO2 in rock masses. In these areas, we offer geothermal drilling, which has a direct impact on the development of renewable energy sources and drilling for the construction of underground storage facilities for crude oil, gases and fuels. By using a number of trenchless technologies for pipeline installation, we also fit into the strategy for the protection of biodiversity, which aims to protect nature and ecosystems.

The process of energy transformation in the European Union towards climate neutrality is currently a challenge for many companies, not only in our country. It is a process consisting of, among other things, reducing energy consumption, maximizing greenhouse gas emissions through the use of new and pro-environmental technologies and the use of renewable energy sources.

Eco-Benefits

Working with UOS Group...

Discover the numerous benefits of cooperation with our companies - not only ecological ones!

You support innovation and environmentally friendly technologies

thanks to which you contribute to achieving the EU's climate goals (use of modern trenchless technologies and geothermal drilling)

You support increasing energy efficiency

and the development of renewable energy sources (geothermal drilling)

You contribute to the protection of biodiversity

and you protect the natural landscape (thanks to the use of trenchless technologies, land reclamation after the completion of the investment)

You contribute to increased energy security

and you promote sustainable energy sources through the development of storage technologies and the construction of underground storage facilities for crude oil, gases and other fuels (vertical drilling and the construction of gas transmission networks)

You contribute to the decarbonization of thermal energy production

and also to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions (geothermal drilling, trenchless technologies)

YOU SUPPORT THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND WASTE RECYCLING

because we use them in all processes where it is possible. 100% of mining waste is recycled

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY PIPELINE INSTALLATION TECHNOLOGIES - ECOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF TRENCHLESS PIPELINE INSTALLATION

Minimization of earthworks (only the amount of soil removed is equal to the volume of trenchless pipes and the size of the constructed starting and receiving chambers)

The latest Direct Pipe technology does not require the construction of a receiving chamber, which minimizes interference in the terrain and the need to carry out work on both sides of the drilling (no need to reserve space for the lyre on the other side of the drilling, the head is dismantled only in the receiving trench)

Minimizing the possibility of contamination and lowering the groundwater table, which is possible during excavation using traditional methods.

Drainage works are carried out point by point, where the sending and receiving chambers are located, in the case when the drilling is carried out below the groundwater level. There is no need to carry out linear drainage as in the case of traditional excavations.

Reduction of exhaust fumes and noise by limiting transport due to the reduction of many work stages occurring in traditional pipeline laying methods.

Minimizing the possibility of damaging the root systems of trees and shrubs, which could lead to their drying out.

Possibility of drilling under rivers, infrastructure facilities, protected areas such as national and landscape parks, reserves, Natura 2000 areas and other valuable natural areas without the need to interfere with natural resources or riverbeds.

Our Achievements

Our pro-ecological achievements

We have constructed flood embankments, inter-embankment areas and rebuilt riverbeds, including: Odra, Vistula, Nysa, Młynówka, Czarny Kanał, Racza Struga for flood protection in several Polish cities: Krosno Odrzańskie, Słubice, Opole

We performed the drilling using Direct Pipe technology after the failure of the sewage transfer collector from the left-bank part of Warsaw to the "Czajka" sewage treatment plant, reducing the sewage outflow time to a minimum.

We have drilled XXX geothermal wells in Poland and XXX in Europe, providing access to Renewable Energy Sources (RES)

We constructed two underground gas storage tanks in the rock masses.

We have performed XXX trenchless drillings in Poland and Europe, of which over 50% were for landscape protection purposes: reserves, parks, Natura 2000 areas and the protection of valleys and river floodplains.

We contributed to the diversification of gas supply sources by participating in the construction of the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline for GAZ-SYSTEM S.A.

Integrated Management

Environment

We care about the natural environment! During the tasks entrusted to us, we respect the applicable regulations. We are proud that the technologies we use are environmentally friendly and can contribute to the improvement of the natural environment. Reducing environmental interference through the use of trenchless technologies and activities in the area of geothermal energy and renewable energy sources allow us to carry out work in accordance with the principle of sustainable development.

We also strive to optimize our processes and implement a circular economy by minimizing the use of raw materials and the generation of waste. In terms of the environment, we have certificates in accordance with the ISO 14001:2015 standard
