Case Studies
it’s instant - I’ve got the job sheet the minute the job is finished. I used to struggle to get everything done, but now it’s so easy and I’m out the door when I should be. We receive better descriptions of the job with the smartphone app. You can add photos and people can type faster than they can write these days anyways.” - Jane, Office Manager at DMS.
Sorting out the job sheets and invoices has gone from taking up to a day a week to an hour a week. This has allowed them to deliver jobs to a professional standard at every level and spend time securing more work.
“The system has paid for itself and provided us with more capacity to grow as a business. The quality of what’s going out has improved massively. Customers can see things more clearly and in better detail, especially with the feature of sending photos. Our clients are happier than ever and we’ve received no bad feedback from it - nothing.” - Kelvin Hoad, Director of DMS Ashbourne.
Rainwater storage and sewer overflow:
Innovative GRP solutions Long lifetime, low maintenance, corrosion and abrasion resistance, and easy installation – glassfiber reinforced plastics (GRP) is an ideal material for sustainable wastewater solutions. And these include not only standard sewer pipes: Special structures for managing storm- and wastewater are becoming more and more important in times of increasing urbanization and climate change. Amiblu has recently implemented two showcase projects for this scope: A high-capacity rainwater storage tank and an extremely effective sewer overflow chamber.
The old local rainwater storage basin in the Bavarian municipality of Weißenohe had been built over 40 years ago. With a capacity of 540 m³, it was no longer able to handle the growing storage demands. Due to the chamber’s location directly underneath the railway station, an expansion was not possible. Therefore, the wastewater association Obere Schwabach planned a new storage structure – and, instead of the conventional concrete tank solution, they opted for a chamber made of GRP.
The solution provided by Amiblu has earned an innovation award for its cutting-edge technology: A complete, prefabricated storage solution based on GRP with integrated stormwater overflow and additional cleaning elements for coarse solid content (Amiscreen), as well as an exceptionally short installation time. Since the targeted construction site is located near a sensible water body, environmental friendliness also played a major role in the project – a quality that is inherent in GRP: The material has an extremely long lifetime and is absolutely leak-tight. The Amiscreen system, which is integrated in two pipe strings, ensures that only clean water is released from the chamber. Weißenohe’s new rainwater collector was built of Flowtite GRP pipes DN 3000 and has a capacity 805 m³.
In May 2018, the first CSO Chamber on Austrian soil
was successfully installed. The > 10 m long chamber consists of a Hobas CC-GRP pipe DN 1200 and an overflow pipe DN 900, an inlet pipe DN 900 and an outlet pipe DN 600, plus two manholes DN 800. The six integrated, self-cleaning screening elements ensure that suspended solids are very effectively separated from the sewage and only cleaned water enters the receiving water course. During heavy rainfall, the CSO chamber can handle inflow volumes of up to 2900 l/sec. The chamber has been installed in Mautern, Lower Austria, within a few hours only.
