Photo: Ina Fassbender<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cMine water management is essential for safe post-mining operations and a key long-term responsibility of RAG Aktiengesellschaft. To fulfil this mandate in the long term, we need technical excellence, reliability and sustainable practices,\u201d emphasises Joachim L\u00f6chte, Chief Technical Officer of RAG Aktiengesellschaft. \u201cThe new operations building brings together precisely these requirements. It strengthens our capacity to act and supports us in managing mine water in the Ruhr region safely and efficiently in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Herne is closely linked to the history of mining through the former Pluto colliery site. Today, the site also symbolises transformation: from hard coal mining to an infrastructure that safeguards post-mining operations in the long term. The new operations building makes this transition visible and demonstrates how former industrial sites can be put to new, forward-looking use.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ruhr region is on its way to becoming a green industrial region \u2013 a prime example of this is RAG\u2019s new operations building here in Herne. For our city, the site of the former Pluto colliery is a place steeped in tradition. We therefore welcome all the more RAG\u2019s clear commitment to Herne as a location, which will strengthen the area in the long term. \u201cThe new operations building exemplifies the successful structural change and the transformation of former industrial sites into a sustainable, digital industrial region,\u201d says Herne\u2019s Lord Mayor Frank Dudda.<\/p>\n<p>At the Herne site, mine water management is already being controlled from the central control room. The new building now adds another crucial component: the logistics for mine water management. The approximately 1,700 square metres of space includes, amongst other things, storage areas for 50 mine water pumps and motors. Thanks to its central location, spare parts can in future be transported to the operational units of the mine water management system within a short time. In addition, the building houses a canteen as well as offices and meeting rooms for around 40 staff members. The new building thus combines operational functionality, short distances and reliable processes at a central location in the Ruhr region.

In addition, photovoltaic systems on the roof and fa\u00e7ade generate electricity to meet the building\u2019s own energy requirements.<\/p>\n<p>This commitment is particularly evident on the fa\u00e7ade: the approximately 1,400 photovoltaic modules in three shades of grey are designed to evoke the hard coal mining history of the former Pluto mine site, thus bridging the gap between the industrial past and today\u2019s post-mining activities. At the same time, they supply energy for the infrastructure through which RAG fulfils its long-term mission.
