Building rubble or not? Doubts about the noise protection wall in Harpstedt

How rubble in the noise protection wall challenges the trust of the Harpstedter citizens

HARPSTEDT - The residents of the new residential area "Am Schützenplatz" are concerned about possible defects in the noise barrier, which is intended for the creation of a quiet environment. Lately, visible materials such as cement -containing chunks, boards and cables have caused excitement among the residents. These worries were reinforced by the determination of the deputy head of the head protection and waste management, Sergei Fisenko.

Citizens' questions about noise protection: Security is going on

obviously the noise protection wall brings with it some ambiguities. At the last meeting of the stain council, councilor Hermann Schnakenberg (SPD) expressed concerns and asked the question of whether the rubble used was lawful. According to Fisenko, it is generally permissible to integrate smaller quantities of building rubble such as the remnant of masonry in the wall. However, care must be taken to ensure that no harmful materials, in particular plastic, are incorporated.

First reactions and necessary controls

This situation has also alerted the Office for soil protection, which has arranged a more precise review of the material. "I don't like what becomes visible due to the outstanding cable," said Fisenko and announced that it will again deal with the topic. The excitement about the noise protection wall stands on behalf of the problem of the build in social and ecological areas.

The construction and its guidelines

The use of material in the noise barrier is not allowed without restrictions. The building manager Jens Hüfner pointed out that the tender contains specific guidelines for choosing materials. The material spent may only be slightly loaded and must be proven accordingly. It remains to be observed whether this is handled in practice.

social effects and trust

The concerns of the citizens regarding possible contamination in the noise barrier are not unfounded. They reflect the general need of the community to live in a safe and healthy environment. To express concerns is a first step to identify grievances in the area. The future review of the materials by the authorities will be decisive for whether the trust of the residents in the construction projects of the community will be preserved.
