- Development of root zone wastewater treatment plants which purify water to bathing water standard. - Development of compact sewage treatment works which purify wastewater water in residential buildings for flushing toilets. - For the new handling of rainwater, development of facilities to store and reuse rainwater in residential housing areas. - For urban design projects and housing estates, development of new sustainable rainwater management concepts such as “zero-runoff settlements” which obviate the need to build storm sewers. Rainwater from roofs is stored and reused or percolated. Street run-off is treated, stored and percolated. |
- Low-cost wastewater disposal solutions are designed using sound engineering (e.g. Strausberg-Erkner Water Management Association). Modern techniques such as pressure drainage, long-distance pipe driving and micro-tunneling in accordance with the Berlin-Model are used to minimise costs. - For traditional stormwater systems, installation of environmentally friendly rainwater retention basins and integrated natural stormwater treatment plants are established. - Drinking water supplies are planned and built using tried and tested methods. |
Due to their vast experience, Kraft Consulting Engineers has been appointed as consultants in international development aid programmes in Africa, Asia and Latin-America. The company has developed a wide range of appropriate and practical solutions for the urgent problems of developing countries.
