Walheim starts a clear construction project: noise protection and traffic solutions in mind!
In Walheim, in the Ludwigsburg district, EnBW is preparing to build a new small-scale recycling plant (KVA) for incinerating sewage sludge. After a long approval phase of over three years, in which transparency and information were of great importance to the company, construction is scheduled to start next Monday. Completion of the KVA is planned by the second half of 2027, followed by testing and final commissioning in early 2028, subject to the issuance of a second partial permit. As the Bietigheimer Zeitung reports, a construction diary will be set up on the EnBW website to record all the steps in progress of the construction project.
In order to minimize possible noise emissions, EnBW is concentrating on protecting residents and plans to work during normal working hours. If it is needed, residents will be informed two weeks in advance about any special construction times. Noise forecasts and their assessment play an important role in this context, as well as on the side of IWU is emphasized.
Traffic challenges
The traffic load during construction represents a further challenge. In order not to put additional strain on the traffic situation, which is already tense, truck traffic will be organized via the Mundelsheim and Besigheim motorway exits instead of being routed through Kirchheim. The construction of a new roundabout in Gemmrigheim is also expected to ensure better traffic routing. EnBW also plans to organize transport across the Neckar by ship to Walheim.
A notable aspect of the project is that the existing old buildings on the site will not be demolished. These continue to be used as workshops, supply buildings and for electricity and drinking water systems. This approach shows EnBW's desire to conserve resources and make the best possible use of the existing infrastructure.
The company has decided to regularly inform residents throughout the entire construction process and to be open about any necessary adjustments. This is intended to increase public confidence and address potential concerns. All efforts are aimed at making construction as smooth as possible and taking citizens' concerns into account.
