At an altitude of over 2,400 metres: HUBER service assignment for the German Alpine Association at the Bremer Hütte in Austria

HUBER Global Service recently successfully completed a very special service assignment in Austria. In cooperation with the German Alpine Association (DAV), the wastewater treatment facilities at the Bremer Hütte mountain hut were serviced and optimised.

Unique professional experience and challenge

The Bremer Hütte, situated at an altitude of 2,413 metres in the Stubai Alps, is a picturesque but also challenging location for HUBER Service. As a base for the German Alpine Club, the hut offers hikers and mountaineers a welcome rest stop. For our HUBER service technicians, the remote location posed a particular logistical and technical challenge, which was mastered with technical expertise, fitness and team spirit – and at the same time provided a unique professional experience.

A service call of a special kind

HUBER service technician Herbert Schlirf experienced a very special kind of service assignment when he travelled to Austria at the beginning of June. The journey through picturesque landscapes and winding mountain roads to the Gschnitztal, a remote and beautiful valley in the Tyrolean Alps, began early on Saturday morning.

Once on site, the first challenge had to be overcome: transporting the necessary tools, machinery and safety equipment up the mountain. A material cable car was chosen as the solution for this, with which all materials and equipment could be transported safely to the hut.

After successfully transporting the materials, our service technician then had to get to the hut himself – by helicopter. The flight offered breathtaking views of the surrounding mountain peaks and was an extremely varied way of getting to the site.

Meeting high environmental standards

After a safe landing and an initial assessment of the site and the wastewater treatment plant, the service work on the HUBER Micro Strainer ROTAMAT® Ro9 could begin. The service job at the Bremer Hütte included the maintenance and optimisation of the wastewater treatment plant in order to meet the high environmental standards of the German Alpine Club. The repair went without any problems and was successfully completed on the same day.

At the end of the day, after the work was done, there was a joint dinner and a relaxing get-together. Our service technician then spent the night in the comfortable accommodation of the Bremer Hütte, surrounded by the idyllic mountain landscape.

The next morning, our service technician Herbert Schlirf began his descent on foot. In this way, he was able to enjoy the impressive mountain world of the Alps once again. Once back at the bottom, Herbert then travelled back home to Berching.

Wide range of possible applications

The service assignment at the Bremer Hütte for the German Alpine Club is an impressive example of the exciting and diverse range of possible assignments at HUBER. Our service technicians experience new challenges every day and work in some of the most beautiful places in the world.

One thing is for sure: our service technician Herbert will not forget this assignment in a hurry. And once again it shows that we are at your side at all times and in all places.
