WaReg to newly built residential area
In the middle of central Halmstad, an old and worn-out industrial area, Lundgrens Gjuteri, is being transformed into a modern residential environment in three blocks with varying buildings – Lundgrens Trädgårdar. From a stormwater perspective, the project is a challenge as the buildings are relatively dense and scattered in an environment where all surrounding areas are developed. This means that the stormwater must be led to an existing system with too low capacity.
The solution
The solution was to build 4 concrete pipe reservoirs located under parking spaces in the area. To ensure that the correct amount of water is released from the reservoirs, Wapro's WaReg was chosen. The flow regulators are not dependent on a certain pressure but release the set flow immediately when the reservoirs begin to fill. This makes the reservoirs more efficient as they take longer to fill compared to reservoirs with flow regulators that depend on a certain pressure to release the desired amount of water.
