Representatives of the Latvian Association of Civil Engineers and Association of Heat, Gas and Water Technology Engineers of Latvia visit the largest sewage pumping station in the Baltic States
This station holds the distinction of being the most powerful and also the largest in the Baltic States.
The sewage pumping station is currently being built practically from scratch, and the current station building will be demolished after the construction and commissioning of the object. This station ensures the pumping of approximately two-thirds of all Riga's wastewater to the Biological Treatment Station "Daugavgrīva", however, it has become outdated both in terms of technology and functionality.
The construction project is expected to result in substantial water and electricity savings.
Reconstruction of the pumping station is necessary to guarantee the safe collection and pumping of wastewater from the areas of the left bank of the Daugava to the Biological treatment station "Daugavgrīva". Outdated equipment will be replaced with modern technologies, in general, it is planned to reduce electricity consumption by 1,000 MWh per year, and water self-consumption by at least 250,000 m3 per year until 2024, when the station's construction and adjustment works are planned to be completed. The new sewage pumping station will also exhibit improved environmental friendliness and safety features.
Reconstruction of the largest sewage pumping station in the Baltics is carried out by the construction company "Velve", the construction project is developed and supervised by "Aqua-Brambis".
The total amount of the project is 13.4 million euros.
Object is planned to be commissioned in April 2024.
