newPark in Datteln; development of the industrial park for Green Tech

In the northern part of the Ruhr metropolitan area a new industrial site has been created that stands out in terms of innovative and sustainable standards. The area will be developed to meet the standards incrementally. The main development road, including pedestrian pavements and a green strip (the thoroughfare) is 36.5 m wide. Alternative sanitation designs (vacuum and pressure drainage systems) were explored for the waste water disposal system. For the storm water management, rain purification basins, lamella clarifiers and retention soil filters were compared technically and economically.
