Reliable wastewater disposal in Liberec

Strict EU regulations apply to water supply and wastewater disposal. Like many other countries in Central Europe, the Czech Republic also has a lot to catch up with in this area. From 2006 – 2008, the entire water infrastructure in the basin of the river Lužická Nisa was therefore replaced and brought in line with the new EU-compliant Czech legislation. HOBAS CC-GRP Pipes were also used in this project, primarily in the sections with medium and large diameters. The total costs of the large-scale project amounted to 31.3 million Euros. Financing for the work partly came from EU funds, partly from the Czech Republic’s environmental fund and partly from resources provided by Severočeská Vodárenská společnost a.s. in Teplice. The subproject was aimed at rehabilitating the municipal wastewater treatment plant for Liberec. The plant had been treating the sewage from the city and its immediate vicinity for 12 years. Built in 1994 and designed for a population of 122,000, it was now out of date. Following more than a decade in use, it no longer complied with the requirements of the EU Directive concerning urban wastewater treatment and could not handle the volume of sewage that had risen over the years. Complete rebuilding and adaptation to a population equivalent of 190,000 was therefore urgently required. HOBAS CC-GRP Pipes were used in several areas of this subproject.
