News in Every Project

Off to new taste horizons at a special "After Work"! On 22 November 2018, a whisky tasting organized by our sports manager Ertan Toker took place at our premises for interested employees. All the rarities and their distilleries were presented in detail by the participants. The tasting was carried out professionally by our specialists and documented in "tasting checklists". Everyone agreed: "We had a lot of fun and would love to do it again together!" Ertan is looking for an appointment....

EURO Heat & Power reports on our planning project for the Isar-Amper-Klinikum München Ost energy center: "Boiler houses were once used to house fired steam boilers. The steam generated there was used to feed thermal engines and district heating systems. This was also the case at the kbo-Isar-Amper-Klinikum München-Ost: the boiler house, built in 1902, still exists, but the energy center inside was constantly renewed until it was given its current form in 2013. A technical system analysis revealed that operating a combined heat and power unit (CHP) would be an economical solution. For this reason, the hospital commissioned Gammel Engineering GmbH with a project study in 2013, in which the possibility of an extensive self-supply of electricity was examined."

EUWID interview with Gaelle Cadiou on the optimization of district heating networks: Every year, the district heating network in Germany is extended by hundreds of kilometers of new pipes. New generation plants often have to be integrated into existing networks. As a rule, new residential and industrial areas or housing estates are to be supplied with heating and process heat. The generation structure is becoming increasingly flexible in order to enable future energy strategies such as sector coupling. Highly efficient and extremely economical systems are required.

The trade magazine BWK reports on our network calculation and simulation with STANET: The expansion of the district heating network in Germany is making increasing progress: According to the main report of the Energy Efficiency Association for Heating, Cooling and CHP e.V. from 2016, the existing network was expanded by a total of 21,521 km nationwide in the same year. Many measures also involve the expansion of existing grids, in which new generation plants are being added and additional consumers are being acquired.

The St. Wolfgang building cooperative celebrates its topping-out ceremony on the Ziegetsberg. Gammel Engineering GmbH is commissioned to plan the technical building services.

Congratulations on the very successful topping-out ceremony! Our long-standing client demonstrated good style with a celebration in a heated tent with a blessing of the building shell and a sumptuous buffet. The Management Board has high praise for all the companies involved in the construction and, of course, for our project manager Robert Göttfried - the project is running on schedule and with outstanding quality. With 53 new apartments, Wohnbau St. Wolfgang eG is creating urgently needed living space in Regensburg.

For Milchwerke Oberfranken, the energy transition means maximum effectiveness and efficiency in production and, of course, in the combined generation of electricity, steam, heat and cooling. The Gammel Engineering team developed the future energy project and is carrying out all planning services up to the performance tests. We congratulate our client, Director Ludwig Weiß, and his team on their far-sighted decision and the sustainable improvement in competitiveness!

When the German government announced its collective energy law in October, Michael Gammel still believed that everything would be fine: "Politicians now seem to be making another correction, albeit a minor one. Renewable energies are to be pushed more strongly again over the next few years. Of course, I hope that this will not be limited exclusively to wind power and photovoltaics, but that the other diverse topics for which we can take over the engineering will also be pushed forward." However, what was actually decided by the cabinet this week will have the complete opposite effect.

Energy efficiency and district heating networks are an essential part of the energy transition. Expansion is progressing rapidly in Germany. Strategic development requires professional simulation and calculation. Many measures also involve the expansion of existing networks. Until a few years ago, the hydraulic design of network expansions could still be carried out using simple linear calculations. Nowadays, the pipes are often meshed in a complicated way. A special analysis tool can be used to optimize the design of such networks. This carries out all the necessary calculations for optimum network design using the STANET software.

Exactly 20 years ago, Martin Zieglmeier had his first day at work in our company. It couldn't have been a better start to the week for our family business. As part of a small celebration, we looked back on the past 20 years and toasted to them. Martin took the opportunity to explain his very personal motivation for his commitment. The wide range of activities, the broad spectrum of project management - technology - customer support means that work never gets boring. The team spirit in the entire company team is probably unique - "one for all, all for one"! And without any rivalries or friction, which would only take the joy out of life. For Martin, this is the reason why he looks forward to every working day with his colleagues. There can be no greater praise for the managing directors and every single person in the company. Thank you, Martin!

After two years of hard work, Offenstetten elementary school has grown. There are more classrooms and enough space for the all-day school. We are delighted to have been part of this project - Gammel Engineering GmbH was commissioned to plan the technical building services.

The MZ reports on our long-standing developer Markus Leberkern and the current Wolframstrasse project in its "Everything but ordinary" series. Markus Leberkern is the head of Wohnbaugesellschaft St. Wolfgang and the owner of 900 cooperative apartments in Regensburg. We are proud to be able to work for this responsible client!
