Pulheim sewer renovation project: Innovative energy conversion structure installed
The project, which was carried out in the Dansweiler Ronne area, is characterized by the use of innovative technologies to optimize the flow of rainwater.
The kinetic energy of the water is specifically reduced by a special shot channel so that it is directed into the downstream sewer system in a controlled and slowed-down manner. This design ensures that the water is transferred more smoothly to the next sections of the sewer, minimizing the load on the infrastructure. The energy conversion structure thus makes a significant contribution to the stability and service life of the entire sewer system and reduces the risk of overloading and potential damage.

Optimization of the inlet angle in the Dansweiler Ronne area
Another focus of the project was the targeted adjustment of the inlet angle of the rainwater drainage system into the Dansweiler Ronne. This measure optimizes the efficiency of the water inlet and significantly reduces the risk of blockages. The adjusted angle thus helps to ensure that the water flow is controlled even during heavy rain and relieves the sewer structure.

Sustainability and efficiency
IWR GmbH attaches great importance to sustainable and future-proof solutions. By reducing kinetic energy and optimizing construction methods, the company creates a robust and long-lasting sewer infrastructure for the city of Pulheim. The “Pulheim sewer renovation” project is an example of IWR GmbH’s innovative approach to overcoming ecological and technical challenges through creative engineering solutions.
