To announce the commissioning of the Thelens Wiese rainwater retention basin in Wesseling!

Project description

New construction of the Thelens Wiese rainwater retention basin in Wesseling

Construction period 02/2023 - 01/2026

Client Wesseling waste disposal company

 

The project comprises the construction of an underground reinforced concrete rainwater retention basin with a capacity of 5400 m³, supplemented by an adjacent floodable earth basin as a retention volume.

The aim of the project is to protect the city centre from flooding in the event of heavy rainfall.

In addition, a combined sewer DN 1600 mm and a reinforced concrete cut-off structure will be constructed as a connection between the rainwater retention basin and a nearby storage sewer.

Furthermore, mechanical and electrical equipment will be installed to return the accumulated mixed water to the municipal sewerage system by means of pump systems.

In a subsequent construction phase, the surface of the earth basin will be designed as a multifunctional area, which will be made available for use by the citizens of Wesseling.

 

We would like to thank everyone involved for their commitment and dedication, which has led to this great achievement!
