News in Every Project

In its February issue, the renowned trade journal Management & Krankenhaus (newspaper for decision-makers in the healthcare sector) reports on our lighthouse CHP project in Berlin-Neukölln. With this investment, the hospital is creating security of supply and sustainable stabilization of energy costs. Read the full article below.

"Planned, accompanied, monitored" - this is how IKF Fachplaner headlines its article on the excellent and successful collaboration with Vivantes-Klinikum Berlin-Neukölln.

In issue 3/2023, Holz-Zentralblatt reports on one of our many successful contributions to climate protection: our involvement in the energy partnership between Naturenergie Cham and Bayerwald-Käserei Goldsteig for more than 10 years. We stand behind our consulting and engineering services, including investment and operational support. We develop creative energy projects for our clients as if it were our own investment. Enclosed you will find the detailed report in the HZ.

Welcome to our family! Last weekend, the newspaper MZ reported on the hurdles faced by our dear new employee Yücel Yasa from Istanbul. The system planner from Turkey is happy in Abensberg, as is the entire engineering team. After more than 3 years and many surprises, we were finally able to welcome the CAD designer with her husband and 6-year-old son in Abensberg.

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.

As Chairman of the Kelheim Chamber of Industry and Commerce committee, our Managing Director Michael Gammel expressed his assessment and expectations regarding the Amazon settlement in Rohr/Stocka in a considered but clear manner. The logistics park is a great opportunity for our district and enhances our attractive economic region. After all, according to the project development, around 1500 new jobs will be created - people need additional living space. Modern concepts with employee housing are also available in the surrounding communities. In addition, there is a unique opportunity to combine renewable energy (e.g. PV, wind or biomass) for heating/air conditioning with mobility via electric or hydrogen vehicles. From the outset, sound models must be used to set the course for smooth integration into the region and demanded by the approval authorities.

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 Mittelbayerische Zeitung reports in detail on the new building project of the Atlas Copco subsidiary Scheugenpflug GmbH in Neustadt/Do.

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!
