Belgium city builds beer pipeline to improve traffic​

June 3, 2016
The beer makes its way through high-density polyethlyene.

A $4.5 million pipeline for the De Halve Maan brewery in Bruges, Belgium, home to some of Europe’s worst traffic congestion, will help its beer travel from the city center to a bottling facility two miles away.

Between batches, the brewers will use jets of cleaning solution to disinfect and sterilize the pipes and keep the product in safe chugging condition.”

The 30-person construction team ran into two big obstacle.
