CASE
The reconstruction of the Baltic States biggest city’s waste water treatment plant took place in the year 2011 when general contractor VELVE SIA won the tender of the municipal company Rīgas Ūdens SIA. During the reconstruction works it was necessary to stop all processes in the longest treatment plant sections periodically and sequentially, thus preventing the bypass of the sewerage of the whole city between the technological basins.
