Waterbeheer speelt een cruciale rol in de transportsector en brengt diverse uitdagingen met zich mee. In de commerciële scheepsbouw draait het om ballastwaterbeheer en het voorkomen van aangroei, terwijl bij recreatieve boten en voertuigen duurzaamheid en veiligheid vooropstaan.
Xylem biedt innovatieve en betrouwbare wateroplossingen om efficiëntie, duurzaamheid en robuustheid te waarborgen in elke transportsector. Met onze expertise helpen we bedrijven soepel door deze uitdagingen te navigeren.
Case Studies
Creek Culvert Bypass Helps New York State Avoid a Major Road Closure
Mayfield Creek in Fulton County, New York, is an arterial body that flows out of Great Sacandaga Lake for approximately four miles through farmland and the upstate countryside.
During an inspection, it became clear that one major culvert – 140 feet long, 15 feet tall and running under heavily traveled Route 30 – had outlived its expected life. The 10-guage corrugated steel structure was deteriorated and needed to be repaired – with as little disruption to Route 30 traffic patterns as possible.
Efficient Handling of Wastewater at a Harbor
To prevent pollution by sewage from ships, governments are required to ensure the provision of adequate sewage reception facilities.
One of the ports within the Ports of Stockholm was outfitted with a Flygt pump station for the handling of sewage and grey water. To handle the large amount of waste water without clogging, a Flygt TOP pump station including N-pumps was installed.
