Logistics Center – Magdeburg, Germany

Wavin's QBic+ storage system efficiently addressed rainwater retention challenges.

Key Takeaways

Effective Rainwater Management

Wavin's QBic+ storage system efficiently addressed rainwater retention challenges for a new logistics center in Magdeburg, Germany, overcoming limitations of a strained sewage pipe and limited surface storage options.

Modular Solution

QBic+ storage spaces with PE coating provided a modular and flexible rainwater retention solution, consisting of three interconnected storage tanks, ensuring optimal rainwater management while meeting specific logistics and parking needs.

Timely Delivery and Installation

Wavin's QBic+ solution was delivered within 30 days from order, ensuring a seamless and timely installation process. The system's design and government-approved status guaranteed compliance with industry standards.

Space-Saving Design

The compact design of the QBic+ storage system allowed efficient use of the limited surface area, maximizing rainwater retention capacity without compromising logistics and parking requirements.

Future Prospects

The success of the project led to the planning of further joint projects in Europe, highlighting the reliability and effectiveness of Wavin's rainwater management solutions and solidifying its reputation in the industry.

The problem

A new logistics center near Magdeburg, central Germany, faced significant challenges with rainwater management due to an overstretched sewage pipe from the 1990s. Despite occupying approximately 24 hectares, the area could only discharge a limited amount of rainwater into the sewer, requiring substantial rainwater retention systems. However, as the space was intended for logistics and parking purposes, only limited surface storage reservoirs were feasible. The original plan included 6000 m³ of underground concrete basins and 3000 m³ of corrugated steel pipe for retention, but replanning was needed to meet specific requirements.

The solution

To address the rainwater retention needs efficiently, Wavin proposed an alternative solution utilizing QBic+ storage spaces with PE coating. Three modular, flexible storage tanks were connected together to ensure proper rainwater management.

The design allowed for less than 30 days from order to delivery, making the installation process seamless and meeting the requirements for heavy truck access and easy cleanability. The system was also government-approved, guaranteeing compliance with industry standards.

The impact

Wavin's proposed solution proved highly effective in managing rainwater retention for the logistics center. All deliveries were made on time, and the installation occurred within the exact agreed-upon period. The system's space-saving design allowed for efficient utilization of the limited surface area. Additionally, the installation team operated almost autonomously, making the process smooth and efficient.
