Trench shoring systems
The possible installation methods are characterised on the basis of three variants. The selected variants show the installation of ductile cast iron pipes for water supply and wastewater disposal …
Resource efficiency
Drinking water and wastewater networks are operated for decades. In addition to safe operation, the main tasks of network operators are maintenance, repair and, where necessary, renewal. All resources must be used sparingly throughout the entire operating period. A digital …
Rainwater management
The effects of climate change affect urban life in many ways: Wastewater networks, for example, are not always able to carry the rainwater that accumulates during heavy rainfall. Flooding and overflowing basements are already the result. In the summer heat, surfaces cool down …
Root resistance
Root ingrowth in wastewater pipes is a common cause of damage. The aim of the research was to scientifically prove the causes of root ingrowth and to describe the mechanisms of root penetration into pipe systems. During excavations, it was discovered that roots in push-fit socket joints …
Digitalisation of the water industry
When it comes to drinking water quality and security of supply, German water utilities are among the best in the world. Global warming, pollutants, heavy rainfall and the need to make processes more efficient will therefore require a digitalisation offensive in the future …
