A visit to the Weiler Waterworks in Cologne provided valuable insights into drinking water production, groundwater treatment, and the infrastructure behind reliable water supply.
As part of the Open Monument Day programme, we had the opportunity to visit the Weiler Waterworks in Cologne and gain firsthand insights into the infrastructure and processes behind drinking water production.
The tour provided a detailed look at how groundwater is extracted and treated before becoming part of the city's drinking water supply. In addition to the treatment facilities themselves, the visit offered interesting perspectives on the extensive infrastructure required to operate a waterworks reliably, including wells, tunnels, storage facilities, and associated technical systems.
For organizations working on digitalization, monitoring, and operational technology in the water sector, visits like this provide an important connection to operational reality. Seeing the infrastructure and processes firsthand helps put data, monitoring requirements, and digital operating concepts into their real-world context.
We would like to thank RheinEnergie and, in particular, the experienced waterworks specialist who guided the tour and shared valuable practical knowledge and insights into the operation of the facility.
As Nexon Data continues to expand its activities in water, wastewater, monitoring, and digital infrastructure, direct engagement with operating facilities remains an important part of understanding the challenges and requirements of the sector.
If these topics resonate with your challenges, we’re happy to discuss your operational context and explore whether Nexon Data is the right fit.
