Project description
In 2016 and 2017, the water supply system of the Municipality of Hippach in the Zillertal valley underwent several rehabilitation measures from the area near the Hochschwendberg to the Municipality of Waldegg. The water supply system in this area was brought up to the latest state of the art.
In the course of the rehabilitation measures, a drinking water power plant was built in each of the elevated tanks II Grün, III Perler, IV Greider, V Tal and Waldegg. Furthermore, the elevated tank I Aue was rebuilt and partially rehabilitated, and the existing Aue spring water chamber was demolished and a new spring water chamber including a UV system was built.
Rehabilitation measures for the elevated tanks II Grün, III Perler, IV Greider, V Tal:
- New coating applied to the water chambers with wet spray mortar suitable for drinking water
- Replacement of the entire plant construction in stainless steel
- Renewal of the entire electronic I&C technology including control system/remote monitoring
- Hermetic seal between valve and water chambers by means of insulating glass
- Forced ventilation of the water chambers
- Sealing and thermal insulation of the elevated tanks
