Sewer system

Man-high under the Rheinallee: a so-called relief canal

If you laid out the entire sewer network of Mainz and Bodenheim in one piece, it would easily reach central Italy. 

Similar to blood, wastewater also needs a kind of transport system to reach its destination: pumps, sewers, and pipes. And just like blood vessels, the sewer network must be regularly checked and maintained to prevent damage.

To do this, we use specially developed camera systems or our state-of-the-art flushing trucks, for example, and if necessary, we also lend a hand ourselves...
