::Groundbreaking on the Weinberg campus in Halle/Saale

3^rd September 2010

The Halle branch of Heitkamp Ingenieur- und Kraftwerksbau GmbH was entrusted in August 2010 by the local Technology Park TGZ with the construction of another multi-purpose building for the research and development activities of small- and medium-size companies.

The overall investment volume of TGZ Halle for this project amounts to ca. 3 million euros.

::Reinforced concrete for high-rise sugar silo

26^th June 2010

In June 2010, Heitkamp Ingenieur- und Kraftwerksbau GmbH (HIKB) successfully completed the reinforced concrete works for a new sugar silo in Nykøbing Falster, Denmark.

In an internal cooperation between the Heitkamp branches of Herne and Halle, the works for the outer reinforced concrete shell of the silo with a diameter of 44.30 m and a height of approx. 50.00 m as well as for the attached 60 m-high elevator and staircase tower were completed in only six months after they started in mid-January 2010 using the slip-form construction method.

::Pouring of foundation concrete in Lünen

27^th May 2010

Presently, the concreting operations for the first foundation slab section of the future 70 m-high fly-ash silo on the Trianel power plant site in Lünen are under way.

::Further milestone for the Wusterwitz Lock project

3^rd May 2010

At the end of March, the Rostock branch was able to report the completion of the building pit. Four weeks later, another milestone was reached with the large-scale concrete placing operation for part of the foundation on April 27 and 28.

The placing operation comprised ca. 2,700 cubic meters of watertight concrete.

Large-scale concrete placing operations in the Lünen coal-fired power plant

Further milestone in the construction of the new Trianel coal-fired power plant in Lünen:

The concreting work for the turbine table foundation will be carried out on schedule on Feb. 24, 2010.

The concrete for the turbine table of the 800 MW turbine in the new coal-fired power plant in Lünen will be placed on Feb. 24, 2010.

1,200 m³ of concrete will have to be poured with the help of 3 concrete pumps within 12 hours.

In order to keep the concrete hardening process under control, an extensive monitoring system has been installed. Thus, the evolution of the concrete resistance will be permanently supervised by means of a so-called "curing computer".

In spite of the adverse weather conditions prevailing during the last few weeks, the concrete placing work will be carried out as planned. These operations will be another milestone in the construction of the new coal-fired power plant in Lünen on the way to the planned commissioning date in the summer of 2012.

The increased transport activities caused by the concreting operations may lead to minor traffic obstructions in the vicinity of the site.

Thank you for your understanding.
