Successful renovation of the water pipe in Windischeschenbach completed
In Windischeschenbach, an important project to improve the water supply was successfully completed. A 110 meter long section of the water pipe, which has made headlines in recent years due to several burst pipes, has now been extensively renovated.
The city administration decided to completely renew the affected route after four pipe bursts occurred in the past. These incidents resulted in the need for temporary repairs to maintain drinking water supplies. In order to avoid future problems and to secure the long-term water supply for the residents, the decision was made to renovate.
Details about the renovation
The renovation work was carried out under the supervision of the city's water supervisors, Sebastian Plödt-Kaiser and Sebastian Egeter, in collaboration with the local construction company Windschiegl. The old section consisted of asbestos-cement pipe installed in the 1960s. This was replaced by a modern cast iron pipe of the “Blutop” type, which meets current standards.
Another important aspect of the renovation was the reduction of the pipe diameter from DN150 to DN100. This measure was necessary because water demand in the region has fallen due to the loss of several industrial companies. The adjustment increases the efficiency of the water supply.
In addition, the slider cross at the train station was renewed. This measure makes it possible to quickly and reliably shut off the water pipe during maintenance work or in an emergency, improving safety and flexibility for future work.
Mayor Karlheinz Budnik expressed his satisfaction with the successful completion of the renovation work and thanked all the specialists involved for their commitment. This renovation not only restored the functionality of the water pipe, but also took an important step towards a future-proof infrastructure.
