August-Röckel-Ring in Graupa: traffic restrictions until the end of October!

There is currently a lot of work being done in Graupa: the Pirna public utilities have taken on the main sewers in the August-Röckel-Ring area. Residents must expect restrictions until the end of October Sächsische.de reported. The road work is intended to inspect and clean the canals and begins with a closure of the August-Röckel-Ring, which is expected to end on October 17th.

The restrictions primarily affect traffic. Technology vehicles will be on the road intermittently, resulting in temporary traffic restrictions. The first closures affect specific house numbers and are effective from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.: The sections between house numbers 4 to 19 and blocks 24 to 32 are initially affected, followed by other areas. From October 27th it will continue on Emil-Pfanne-Straße, where a full closure will also be necessary until the end of the month.

Focus on sewer renovation

But it's not just in Graupa that work is being done on the canals. Sewer renovation is also underway in the neighborhood, which is important for the owners. How GBI info explains, the renovation includes not only the replacement of pipes, but also the repair of sewage pipes. The damage that is found plays a crucial role. More serious damage requires extensive excavation, while modern, trenchless methods can be used for less serious cases.

Responsibility for the condition of the drainage lies with the property owners. You are required to take care of the leak tests; the costs incurred can be between 250 and 500 euros. In the worst case, inadequate testing can lead to problems such as environmental pollution or structural damage.

Leak test for more safety

Leak testing is an essential part of sewer inspection. This measure helps to detect damage early and thus avoid environmental problems. How EKS sewer renovation explains, the most modern testing techniques are used. Not only are these processes efficient, they are also certified and ensure that legal requirements are met.

Leaks are located and the pipes are thoroughly cleaned through extensive camera inspection. Leaks are detected using air, water or pressure methods, with the results documented in a test report. If the condition of the canals is assessed as inadequate, various renovation options are available, from partial repairs to complete excavation.

Overall, it is clear that the work in Graupa is not only intended to ensure the smooth drainage of wastewater, but also to draw attention to the need for owners to actively engage in the maintenance of their own drainage. After all, a well-functioning infrastructure is of great importance for all Cologne residents.
