The Bern Wylerfeld decentralization project eliminates the rail bottleneck in the east of the Swiss city of Bern and is therefore of great importance for rail travel in the region as well as long-distance through-traffic and goods transport.  

As the project was being carried out it became clear that waste water treatment was becoming necessary. A temporary waste water treatment system is therefore currently in place. Data from this plant is collected, and weather, groundwater and discharges are monitored, to aid in planning the future waste water treatment plant. Professional tools are required to visualize the large quantity of data and thus identify connections. Drees & Sommer Switzerland is providing the clients with data visualization support using RStudio.
