Eichert water tower
The water tower Eichert is a 51.9 meter high water tower in the forest area Eichert southwest of Göppingen, completed in 1975, with a cup-shaped container with a capacity of 500 cubic meters. The Eichert water tower, which rests on a 1.8 meter thick foundation plate at a depth of 3.6 m and 5.4 m, is used by numerous radio services. Its tip is provided with a flight safety lamp.
The concreting of the tower shaft, carried out by the Stuttgart company Ludwig Bauer, took 273 hours, with three-shift operation. The 120-tonne formwork for the goblet-shaped container was installed on the ground and then pulled up on steel cables using twelve hydraulic jacks. After the concreting was completed, the formwork was lowered again.
