Amsterdam is the first city in the world to make use of Booster pumping stations in the sewerage on such a large-scale. In this kind of pumping stations the sewage is not stopped firstly in a cellar, but directly propelled to the next pump. The construction of such a station is cheaper than a traditional pumping station. Moreover the energy consumption is lower and it releases no nasty smells. architect: GROUP A - Rotterdam (formerly: Group for Architecture & Aukett Nederland)
