Renewal of the 112 -year -old railway die: Falling work will start soon!

The 112 -year -old railway dowry on Hafenstrasse in Hamm is faced with comprehensive renewal. The construction work planned by the local authorities is expected to begin at the end of 2025. This decision follows that the existing building can no longer be renovated and must therefore be built in a new route. The renewal is urgently required because the Düker rainwater leads into the lip under the Datteln Hamm Canal and plays a central role in urban drainage.

preparatory felling work will begin on January 31, 2025. Around 150 trees, including shrubs and trees with a trunk diameter of up to 75 cm, are cut back or felled. These measures are necessary to make room for the construction work and were estimated at around 30,000 euros. In the period from January 31 to February 28, 2025, the Dammweg between Münsterstraße and Lippebrücke on Nienbrügger Weg will be completely blocked, and a corresponding detour will be set up and signposted. Temporary restrictions on Münsterstrasse can be expected when the construction vehicles entered and exit.

technical challenges and inspections

The historical deumpes, which was built in 1913, have gone through numerous changes over the years. So he was damaged by a bomb attack during the Second World War. The condition of the building was systematically assessed as part of a five -year inspection, which was carried out in cooperation with a special company for underwater work. Industrial covering examined the dark at 80 measuring points. Initial assessments did not result in any damage or deformations on the 35 meter long tunnel structure.

In the coming months, an investigation will also be carried out to freedom of ordnance of the construction site. This is a standard procedure in view of the historical background of the ducker. The new ducker, whose construction is scheduled to start in 2025, will probably be 125 meters long and two meters in diameter. The existing ducker is located at a depth of about 15 meters and reaches a depth of 16.5 meters on the middle dam between Lippe and Datteln-Hamm-Canal.

future and effects

After completing the new ducker, the bike path, which is temporarily blocked, will be usable again with a paved surface. The Lippe Association, a public service water management company, plays a crucial role in planning and implementing these measures. With 155 member municipalities and companies, the Lippeverband supports extensive infrastructure, wastewater disposal, flood protection, as well as the water maintenance and development. In Hamm, the association also operates six sewage treatment plants, 87 pumping plants and 143 special buildings.

With the renewal of the Düker on Hafenstraße, the city of Hamm pursues long -term destinations in city drainage and the improvement of water quality. These measures are part of a comprehensive plan for the sustainable development of urban infrastructure.
