Flood protection for the City of Bogen, Germany

VAG designs special valves to protect the City of Bogen against floods

The 'Gate to the Bavarian Forest' is how the Lower Bavarian City of Bogen describes itself. The medieval city is situated on the banks of the Danube between Straubing and Vilshofen. With the growing risk of floods, the proximity to the river is becoming an increasing danger to the 10,000 inhabitants and their possessions. That is why RMD Wasserstraßen GmbH and the water board of Deggendorf developed a flood protection plan for the City of Bogen as part of the in-depth investigations into the regulation of the section of the Danube between Straubing and Vilshofen. The plan is to prevent flood water from the hinterlands reaching the city by storing it in retention basins and using pumps to channel it through the Bogen stream into the Danube.

Fire water supply at Frankfurt Airport, Germany

The complete fi re-fi ghting system of Frankfurt Airport is to be modernised within the next few
years using the most powerful standpost hydrants made by VAG. The future-orientated technology
of the hydrants will also serve in the supply of such important new buildings as Terminal
3 right from the start. The VAG NOVA Standpost Hydrant in dimension DN 150, which is
unique in the market and has been designed especially for the protection of modern and sensitive
industrial plants and infrastructure systems, will be found in all places where maximum
safety and top performance are an issue. Over 26 hydrants are already in service on the site of
Germany’s largest factory building – the Airbus 380 hangar.

The Tecklenburg biogas plant, Germany

VAG ZETA® Knife Gate Valves make green energy more efficient

The exploration of renewable energies points the way to the environmentally sound generation of power in the 21st century. Biogas plants using renewable raw materials as green resources are a key technology in this respect. They are climate neutral, make use of agricultural products among others and thus have a perfect ecobalance. VAG valves help to accurately control the plants' complex industrial process equipment and to make them even more efficient through automation. One example can be found in Tecklenburg at the foot of the Teutoburg Forest in Germany. Since January 2007, the Tecklenburg biogas plant has been operating there, using pneumatically actuated valves made in Mannheim, Germany.
