Case Study
Managing water resources at the Hippodrome race course
Tackling climate-change-driven water management challenges for both more predictable water resource use and increased sustainability, ViaCon helps to manage this at the Hippodrome race course in Lyon.
The Challenge
- France has faced 29 heat waves since 2000 – a 70% increase from the previous 53 years. As a result, managing water resources sustainably in the region is a challenge
- Unpredictable flash flooding and near-sudden drought conditions are changing the way people live –adding further demands on water supply. This requires solutions, such as water tanks to both save water and to hinder flooding
- The Hippodrome race course needed to address water-use challenges, including water tanks for water reuse and stormwater management solutions to prevent flooding
The Solution
- ViaCon provided a full, end-to-end solution, ensuring an efficient high-volume water management solution
- The design combined two different types of water management solutions, using both our stormwater management and reuse technologies
The ViaCon Advantage
- Up to 60% CO2 emissions reduction compared to alternative solutions
- Faster installation time and less disruption to site activities
- High volume (with approximately 945 m3 net volume)
- Long durability/lifespan
- Ease of transportation and installation
