Kelheim sets an example - sustainable district heating from a strong partnership
What began in 2009 with an initial study is now a supra-regional showcase project for ecological district heating: together with Stadtwerke Kelheim, the team for decentralized energy systems from Gammel Engineering was able to accompany and play a key role in the strategic and technical development of the Kelheim district heating network over many years.
From isolated operation to a sustainable heating system
A networked overall system was created step by step from individual heating islands.
The heart of the system is a highly efficient wood-fired CHP plant with modern ORC technology. It is supplemented by buffer storage, peak load boilers and intelligent integration of existing infrastructures. The result: a secure, economical and legally compliant supply - always coordinated with the strong team at Stadtwerke.
Milestones of the project
Whether new heating plants, the reliable connection of sensitive consumers such as the district hospital or the grammar school or, most recently, the highly symbolic buffer storage tank - every step of the project stands for a clear vision, technical precision and trusting cooperation.
A model for local heat planning
Kelheim shows how municipal heat supply can work today: sustainable, economical and jointly planned. We are proud to have been able to help shape this path for more than 15 years.
20 years at Gammel Engineering - congratulations Tom!
We were able to celebrate a special anniversary today: February 15 marked the 20th anniversary of Anita Ebenslander joining Gammel Engineering. Two decades that stand for commitment, precision and exceptional reliability.
Handover of donations from our Christmas fundraising campaign
Having already reported on the results of our Christmas donation campaign, we are now delighted that all three donations have now been handed over in person.
It was particularly important to us not only to hand over the donations symbolically, but also to visit the facilities on site and gain an insight into their valuable work.
The Friends of Cabrini House was founded over 10 years ago and sees itself as a community of people who want to support the children, young people and adult residents of Cabrini House.
