New drainage master plan for Munich's sewer network

Measurement campaign creates high-quality database for precipitation, discharge and pollution load


Overview of the precipitation-discharge-pollution load measurement campaign


Initial situation

Need for high-quality measurement data for the drainage master plan (GEP)

Preparation

Creation of a measurement concept

Awarding of contract to NIVUS

Technical expertise & measuring device quality are decisive

Task

Operation of 240 measuring points and data transmission

NIVUS Solution

Mobile Flow Measurement

Mastered challenge

Measuring point installation, operation and data transmission for complex sewer network

Result

Precise data for reliable calculations


Conclusion

Measurement data basis created for the revision of the Munich GEP

“In this measurement campaign, we placed particularly high demands on the quality of the measurement data. This was also due to the fact that the calculations in the overall drainage plan may result in considerable investments in rehabilitation measures,” explains Tobias Knödlseder. “As the data from the measurement campaign with NIVUS plays a key role in the calibration of the new sewer network model, it contributes significantly to the high quality of the calculations in the GEP.” 

The data quality was positively influenced by

  • the selection of suitable measurement technology,
  • the proper calibration of the devices and
  • careful measurement operation with thorough data checks.

It was also particularly important that the NIVUS team was able to avoid data gaps and react quickly in the event of imponderables. In addition, data was delivered regularly and promptly with corresponding documentation. “Despite the sometimes difficult conditions, NIVUS carried out the commissioned work completely on schedule and to a high standard of quality,” summarises Munich-based head of department Tobias Knödlseder. “The cooperation with everyone involved was excellent.”
