Ingolstadt ex-refinery site environmental remediation hits key milestone, meeting safety, budget and performance targets

摘要

Throughout the year, 500 people have been active with environmental remediation and building work at the 75 hectare IN-Campus development in Ingolstadt. "Safety has always been the number one priority at the IN-Campus site" said Dr. Riidiger Reck-nagel, Chief Environmental Officer at Audi. "The workforce has just achieved the milestone of 250,000 hours of incident-free op-eration since work began in 2016". "My team is very proud to be involved in this project, which we believe is the largest ex-refinery remediation task ever undertaken in Germany" adds Recknagel. During more than four decades of operation of the refinery which previously existed on this site, there were occasional spillages of oil and other chemicals. This is the legacy which the IN-Campus team are now working to remediate. "Our environmental management experts know that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity to return such a beautiful piece of land bordering the river Danube to its pristine condition. And I am immensely proud of them because they are working so responsibly and achieving all our milestones".
