Property description:

The new reservoir is planned with two basins so that maintenance and cleaning can be carried out during operation. The new building will house an operations center with the appropriate switch cabinets for monitoring and control technology. An internal coating is planned for the reservoir from the outset. The interior coating will be applied using the ETERTUB-aqua® system. This system has the advantage that leaks can be detected via a drainage system. By analyzing the drainage water, it can be determined whether the water comes from outside or inside the reservoir.
