News in Every Project

Fifteen years ago, the construction of the biomass cogeneration plant and district heating for the city of Cham still had to overcome considerable reservations and resistance from the population. Today, everyone has realized and, of course, knows that district heating is the best possible solution for decarbonization in the heating sector and in power generation.

The canteen at Abensberg primary and secondary school was inaugurated on Wednesday with music, good wishes and God's blessing. Gammel Engineering with project manager veteran Frank Ulbrich handled the technical building services planning for the difficult construction in existing buildings and during ongoing school operations with joy and great commitment. It is always a pleasure when a project is successfully completed in our home town. If this project serves the well-being of our children and families, so much the better!

Together with specialist companies, employees from the waterworks and the Abensberg municipal utility company lifted a 28-tonne pellet store in Stadionstraße over the TSV gymnasium and placed it next to the existing heating center with local heating network. The heating center also received a new pellet boiler. The new module is now attached directly next to it. The Gammel Engineering team planned the existing system and now also the extension. We would like to thank our client for their trust and all those involved for their excellent cooperation. Another important measure for the energy transition in our home town of Abensberg.

DIBAG is building a new logistics and production hall with 20,000 m² of floor space in Allershausen at Eggenberger Feld. The concrete pillars are rising rapidly and construction is progressing.

The New Year's Eve powder vapor has been blown away by the wind and the discussion about the sense and nonsense of fireworks and firecrackers has once again been sat out by those responsible. Despite heavy media coverage, there has been no sustained reaction. The same game awaits us again at the end of the year. This means that now is the right time to take a critical look at the issue of emissions.

Looking back one year after the ceremonial blessing of the iKWK plant: The Gammel Engineering team worked closely with the Bad Reichenhall public utility company to develop the concept for the innovative energy center for the pioneering district heating project and planned the entire technology. This flagship project was made possible thanks to iKWK federal funding. The result is a heating network with a route length of approx. 7.5 km. Natural gas CHP units, groundwater heat pumps and a power-to-heat system, combined with a large heat storage tank and a peak load boiler, cover the heat demand.

District heating expansion is a key component of the energy transition. The demand for "clean", CO2-free heat from natural wood chips is also unbroken in Hersbruck. Together with our energy partner HEWA, Naturenergie Hersbruck has been expanding for years. A tripling of the buffer volume to compensate for peak loads in the grid by 50 cubic meters is currently being completed and commissioned. Many thanks to the companies involved and above all to our operator team at ForstServiceGmbh for the perfect handling on site.

The Naturenergie Hersbruck biomass cogeneration plant has been reliably supplied with forest chips from the region by our main shareholders for almost 20 years. These are the members of Forstservicegesellschaft Nürnberger Land mbH, a 100% FBG subsidiary. In the past, the fuel deliveries were weighed using a single-axle scale. We were "recommended" a large truck scale by the responsible calibration office. This was installed in November 2022 and then calibrated and put into operation. We look forward to the best weighing results! Many thanks to our operating team for their commitment to this construction project!

In our planning project for the district of Neustadt a. d. Waldnaab, general refurbishment of the multi-purpose gymnasium, our project manager Frank Ulbrich was able to coordinate the installation of the new external air towers for the gymnasium's ventilation system today.

ZES was established over 20 years ago to supply primarily municipal buildings with renewable heat energy from biomass.

The Bundestag and Bundesrat have passed the Substitute Power Plant Provision Act (EKBG). This authorizes the government to limit or even ban the operation of natural gas-based power generation plants in the event of a gas shortage.

As part of the event "Kreis Energieeffizienz Oberfranken 2/2022 - Strategien für die Dekarbonisierung" on 12.07.2022 at the bayme vbm office Upper Franconia in Coburg, we had the opportunity to report on the topic of decarbonization.
