Hydraulic Structures of
Wastewater Treatment Plants
General Overview
Practically since the beginning of my career, I have been engaged in the structural design of hydraulic structures.
Over the past 15 years, I have worked on large-diameter stormwater retention structures, large-scale and complex biological treatment structures, as well as multi-level facilities combining several treatment phases. The industrial and municipal wastewater treatment facilities I have designed are located primarily in Hungary, but in recent years I have also participated in the structural design of several wastewater treatment plants in Africa.
Mélykút
In 2017, we were commissioned to prepare the structural design of the hydraulic structures for the dedicated wastewater treatment plant serving Central Europe’s largest waterfowl processing plant, built in Mélykút (and since completed and handed over). As part of the assignment, we prepared the execution-level structural design for a multi-level biological treatment structure with an approximate footprint of 45 × 30 m, a circular secondary settling tank, a multifunctional block-structured facility, and a filter house approximately 12 m in height.
Bonyhád
In the spring of 2018, we began work on our largest domestic wastewater treatment plant design project to date.
Our task was to prepare the execution-level structural design for four major structures planned for the plant, as well as for the associated social and operational building.
