Our services

District heating – a comprehensive approach. Efficient implementation.

We will help you to plan and implement your district heating system. From the initial consultation, project planning and general planning to commissioning – our experienced project managers work for public sector organisations and industrial facilities.

Initial consultation

We provide potential customers with personalised, tailored advice. We work with you to understand your requirements in depth and gain a precise picture of the context within which the district heating system will be installed. This lays the foundation for a fruitful collaboration.

Project planning

An efficient district heating system starts with a sound concept. We assist you with technical expertise, experience and a clear vision in terms of financial efficiency, sustainability and operational safety. Regardless of whether you are connecting to a neighbourhood or industrial district heating network, we develop technically impressive solutions that pay off over the long term.

Planning and engineering

In collaboration with our partners, we assist with all aspects of construction of the central components and pipelines during the execution phase. Our project managers draft all tender documentation and work contracts and coordinate the tasks and processes with selected subcontractors. Our comprehensive expertise in district heating pipeline construction lays the groundwork for seamless connection to the network.

Pipeline construction

We make sure heating is provided wherever heating it is needed – efficiently, safely and sustainably. Our pipelines ensure that district heating reliably arrives in residential areas, buildings and industrial facilities. With high-level engineering and expertise, we create the energy supply infrastructure of tomorrow today.

Commissioning and maintenance

Once planning and construction are complete, we ensure that your district heating system gets up and running smoothly and professionally. All system components pass through our series of inspections and are reviewed to ensure your safety and functionality in a step-by-step process. 

A district heating system is designed for long-term efficiency – nonetheless, it requires regular maintenance. With our tailored service packages, we ensure the reliable and economical operation of your systems.

What is

district heating?

Communally minded heating

District heating is a central heating solution whereby thermal energy is transported in the form of hot water or steam via a system of pipelines to the buildings that are connected to the network. The heat is usually generated in large combined heat and power plants or decentralised energy supply centres – efficiently, reliably and with sparing use of resources.

Where does district

heating come from?

From waste heat to the heating of the future

The heat often comes from pre-existing energy sources. These include waste incineration facilities, industrial waste heat, biomass power plants or heat pumps. Using intelligent networks, this energy is recycled – and sent wherever it is needed.

Low-carbon heating

– how exactly does it work?

Heating with a clear conscience

District heating is one of the most effective ways to use building technology to reduce carbon emissions. Highly effective heat generation and the use of renewable or pre-existing energy sources make district heating into a central component of the energy transition.
