Renovation of the rainwater basin in Denklingen: construction costs of 577,000 euros!
The rainwater basin near Denklingen is facing extensive renovation to address problems with sand and vegetation. This measure is necessary because previous attempts to clean the basin through dredging were unsuccessful. Mayor Andreas Braunegger recently explained to the local council that these measures had led to a conflict with the environmental protection authority and the water management office.
The basin in question, also known as a retention basin, plays a crucial role in absorbing rain and meltwater. It is located in the north of Denklingen, east of the railway track, and has pipework that extends three kilometers to the Lech. This piping is necessary to drain the water efficiently and avoid blockages, which is why the current renovation measure is of great importance.
Renovation details and award of contract
The tender for the necessary civil engineering work has already been put out. However, only one offer came from the Strommer company from Schongau, which amounted to 577,000 euros. Mayor Braunegger discussed options for savings in a phone call with the company. A promising option would be to lay the pipes for redirecting rainwater directly in the basin itself instead of digging a separate trench, which could significantly reduce construction costs. This shows that there are also creative solutions to make renovation more efficient.
The award of the contract was decided by the local council with only two votes against, which indicates broad support among the local councilors. These renovation measures are not only economically important, but also of central importance for environmental protection in the region. It remains to be seen how the work will be implemented and whether all permits can be issued smoothly to avoid delays.
