News in Every Project

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!

The Parsberg secondary school project, for which our project manager Frank Ulbrich and his team are planning the technical equipment, remains exciting. The renovation construction site began in March 2021. In future, over 1000 pupils will be able to work on their education in Parsberg in the very best conditions. The first construction phase has been completed and the client, the district of Neumarkt, and the entire project team are approaching the completion of the "new" high school with great enthusiasm. We would like to thank them for their trust and constructive cooperation!

Our authorized signatory Thomas Winkler represented Gammel Engineering GmbH at the CHP annual general meeting in Würzburg. As a recognized specialist in the industry for highly efficient energy systems and, of course, CHP, it made sense to have Thomas Winkler contribute his expertise and practical experience as a participant in the panel discussion. We would like to thank him for this! The renowned event is organized annually (except in the past 2 years) by BHKW-Consult, Markus Gailfuß, and is regarded as the Germany-wide industry get-together on the subject of combined heat and power generation.

"Der österreichische Installateur" reports on the CHP project at the hospital in Berlin-Neukölln. Our team was allowed to develop the project, implement the engineering and take over the local construction management. Many thanks to our clients for the constructive cooperation! And of course a big thank you to the manufacturers and contractors for the commitment of every single craftsman - the result is really something to be proud of!

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.
