Energy

Structural engineering for energy plants: power and heating plants, biomass and biogas, district heating, plant foundations and pipe racks.

Structures for generating, converting and distributing energy.

What we take on

  • Boiler and turbine houses, heating and CHP plants
  • Biomass and biogas plants, fuel stores and bunkers
  • Foundations for turbines, boilers, tanks and silos
  • Pipe racks, platforms and steel structures
  • District heating structures, pumping and transfer stations

Plant engineering specifies, structures deliver

The structure here emerges from plant interfaces: load data, nozzle positions, maintenance access, thermal movement. Those inputs often arrive late and then change. So we work with clearly documented assumptions and declared reserves, so a change stays assessable instead of restarting the analysis.

Thermal loads

Temperature is a principal load case in energy plants: expansion of pipework and steelwork, restraint in concrete, fixed-point and sliding-bearing forces on pipe racks. It is routinely underestimated.

Consents

Larger plants run through the German emissions control procedure. There the building application sits inside a larger consent process, and the dates follow it. We prepare the documents to fit that procedure.
