Better management of firefighting water in Halmstad
A fire training site in Halmstad, where there is both stormwater and firefighting water that needs to be managed, was in need of a solution to be able to manage the firefighting water in an efficient and safe way. Firefighting water contains many pollutants and hazardous substances that you do not want to release into nature, the substances in the firefighting water can cause damage to ecosystems and water resources. According to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (2017), it is important to minimize the amount of firefighting water released into nature because its impact is so negative. It was therefore extremely important for the customer to ensure that firefighting water is not released into nature and causes environmental damage. And we were able to help them with that.
The solution
The solution we have made is a DN1200 plastic well with a beveled angle and a built-in shut-off valve (SVM-TG DN110) so you can turn off the line and collect all the firefighting water in the well for easier clean-up.
The well is beveled (i.e. with a slope / fall down to the gutter where the water flows) which means that when you clean the well, for example, the water flows naturally down the gutter and out of the well. The project consisted of 4 wells where all had different angles on the inlet and outlet at the same time as they were to be beveled, the colleagues at Technical Support needed to make a special solution to match the angles and put the well together so that it solved the customer's needs.
We are, as usual, grateful to be able to help our customer in Halmstad with a unique solution that satisfies their needs but also contributes positively to the environment.
Area of use
Shut-off & Control
It is devastating if environmentally hazardous substances reach our surface water, recipients, pasture land or water sources. With our solutions for shutdown, you ensure emergency shut-off on roads and in industries, or shutdown at incoming lines for pumping stations, to facilitate straightforward operational and maintenance work.
