Background
Copenhagen Metro is the cities’ largest construction project in 400 years: The construction of a new underground metro ring seeking to encourage environmentally-friendly mass transit in the city spanning 15km in length complete with 17 upgraded stations. It ensures the majority of Copenhagen’s residents live within 600 metres of a metro station.
The Overall Objective
The naturally high water table and predominantly limestone geology, caused a number of issues during the construction of the Copenhagen Metro. Siltbuster was tasked with treating slow settling groundwater laden with very slow settling Calcium Carbonate, providing a solution with high treatment capacity within a small footprint.
Solution
A multitude of Siltbuster chemical dosing systems, with automatic digital dosing, were quickly deployed and installed on-site to accurately treat the water with the use of coagulants and flocculants. The digital dosing systems were operated in conjunction with SCADA so that all data could be remotely monitored and controlled.
