Case Study: Ensuring Smooth Operations at Berlin Brandenburg Airport in Case of Water Line Burst

The Berlin Brandenburg Airport is a 14.7 km2 airport that is situated 18 km south of Berlin, Germany and is currently under construction. The 6.8-billion-euro project began in 2006 and includes two parallel runways, a six-floor passenger terminal, a 32-meter observation tower, and a museum and gift shop.

The Challenge
The airport’s water system includes two main 24” water supply lines, with a designed flow rate of 200-1,000 m3/h and a working pressure of 6.5 bar. As they pass below the runways, a solution was required to ensure that in the event of a burst in one of the lines, there would be no danger of the runways being flooded and causing disruption to runway activity.
