New construction of a cogeneration plant

THOST was responsible for the technical planning and project management of the construction of a new cogeneration plant. The combined heat and power plant is based on the use of waste wood as fuel and ensures the plant’s self-sufficient supply of steam as well as a mix of in-house production and purchased electricity. In order to guarantee the availability of the energy supply in the event of disruptions to the biomass boiler, three additional peak load and reserve boilers were installed, which can be operated with either natural gas or heating oil. Electricity is generated by a steam turbine, while three emergency diesel generators ensure supply in the event of grid failures. In addition, a new medium-voltage distribution system was installed to supply the entire plant.

In the first service phase, THOST was responsible for creating the implementation schedule, coordinating with planning partners, cost controlling using the K3 tool, finalising the project manual and implementing the reporting system. In the second phase, THOST continued the schedule and cost reporting, interface management and cost controlling, supplemented the project manual and assumed responsibility for the status reports and lean management on the construction site.
