Sewage Project Designed to Renaturalize the Area and Serve 2.2 Million People (Video Case Study)
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Case Studies
The River Emscher was considered a "cesspool of the Ruhr": an open channel, extremely polluted with wastewater from coal mining and heavy industry and the feces of local residents.
HerrenknechtAG, a construction company specialized in building tunnels, was then assigned a major sewage project in the area:
10 Herrenknecht-TBMs were used to build an efficient underground pipe and tunnel system that carries the wastewater from a catchment area of 865 square kilometers and around 2.2 million inhabitants to the three central wastewater treatment plants.
This video case study explains the process in its entirety.
