Project overview
The largest transport scheme in Europe. 200km of new trackway and the construction of 68 new stations will serve a projected 2 million passengers a day. The venture requires vast amounts of below ground tunnelling, most of which encounter groundwater contaminated with mineral fractions from the local geology and cementitious fines from stabilising the tunnel walls.
Siltbuster Solution
Siltbuster installed over 30No. units in support. Systems were capable of correcting pH of water to neutral, also flow proportionally pre-treating waters prior to clarification – producing an extremely high standard visually clear and neutral treated water.
Update October 2020: Telstar, Siltbuster’s strategic French partner, now has 60+ Siltbuster systems in operation, treating in total just under 31 millions of water each day.
