A centralised mine water treatment plant (AzGA) was built at the Ibbenbüren-Gravenhorst site in a joint venture with the WKS Group and HST Systemtechnik.

The plant was constructed in several stages:#

1. preparatory measures

  • Sheet pile sealing wall constructed and maintained until the end of the construction work. 3,700 m² of steel sheet piling in lengths between 14.0 and 15.0 metres installed as a temporary sealing wall.
  • Construction of a sheet pile box using the CSM construction method (cutter-soil mix). The soil was excavated under water, after which 950 m³ of underwater concrete was placed as the base of the excavation pit.

2. construction dewatering

  • Closed dewatering with vertical filter wells, combined with vacuum filter lances including water treatment for transfer to the tunnel stream; geodetic head up to 6.0 metres.

3. civil engineering, engineering and transport facilities

  • Neutralisation basin system with a basin volume of up to 3,600 m³.

4. traffic facilities in asphalt construction including drainage and lighting

5. mechanical and process engineering including pipeline construction and steel construction for

  • feed
  • Neutralisation / sedimentation / post-sedimentation
  • Demanganisation / final pH adjustment
  • Dewatering
  • Control air supply / drinking and process water supply
  • Exhaust air technology and unloading area for chemicals

     

6. electrical and process control technology

  • Ensuring the security of supply of the existing plant
  • Utilisation and expansion of the existing infrastructure
  • Medium-voltage supply / centralised main energy management / decentralised low-voltage supply

     

7. automation and process control technology with a focus on

  • Social building
  • Sludge treatment
  • Chemical treatment
  • Lime milk treatment
  • Communication technology
