What a great success: the Max Bögl construction company is now generating its own electricity. The turbine is running and turning stably at the nominal speed of 25,500 rpm (revolutions per minute). The first tests have been carried out successfully and the safety shutdowns are also working perfectly.
"After two and a half weeks of dedicated continuous operation, the commissioning team is now taking a well-earned break until Monday," says Gammel Engineering Project Manager Thomas Winkler. "We will restart the system on Monday and will probably feed the first power into the public grid on Tuesday." In addition to the grid synchronization of the turbine, further turbine tests and training of the operating personnel are planned for the coming week.With the Kombi Power System from Gammel Engineering, Max Bögl, Germany's largest privately owned construction company, is focusing largely on environmentally friendly, decentralized energy supply from renewable resources.
With deep sorrow and great respect, we bid farewell to an extraordinary and kind-hearted person who, with his loyal and confident demeanor, was always a role model for the entire company.
Today we celebrated a special anniversary: Florian Prantl has been with Gammel Engineering for 20 years. Over these two decades, technologies have changed, projects have evolved, and teams have been reorganized. One thing has remained constant: Florian Prantl is a reliable member of the Gammel Engineering team.
In 2026, Gammel Engineering was once again ready to head to the Gillamoos! Together with our partners, we kicked off the “fifth season” in Abensberg on Friday, as is our tradition.
