Dry cooling tower

For an industrial client, we designed a modern steel structure to house a dry cooling tower and coordinated its implementation. The construction project is located in Bavaria and was developed in close collaboration with the client to meet demanding requirements for efficiency, functionality, and cost-effectiveness. The facility is designed to ensure maximum cooling performance while adhering to ecological standards and minimizing energy consumption. Innovative construction methods and high-quality materials were used to create a durable and robust structure.

Challenges

During the planning process, we faced the challenge of optimizing the structure for the specific climatic and geological conditions of Bavaria. The building’s structural design had to be resilient against extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds and temperature fluctuations. Another major challenge was minimizing maintenance requirements, which was achieved through the use of high-grade, corrosion-resistant materials and a modular construction approach.

Project phases

Requirements Analysis

In the first phase, the client’s specific requirements were precisely analyzed and documented. This included detailed discussions about the building’s intended use, structural engineering requirements, and all specifications related to the cooling technology. The aim of this phase was to define the functional and technical requirements that would serve as the foundation for all subsequent planning steps.

3D Laser Scanning

To accurately capture the site’s existing conditions, modern 3D laser scanning technology was employed. This method enabled high-precision recording of all relevant points and structures, minimizing planning risks and ensuring seamless integration of the new building into the existing environment.

As-Built Modeling

Based on the scan data, a detailed digital model of the existing site was created. This formed the basis for a precise planning and construction phase, allowing potential conflicts and issues to be identified and addressed early on.

Design – Service Phase 3 (LPH 3)

In the design phase, various structural solutions for the steel building were developed and visualized. The goal was to create an economical, functional, and visually appealing design that was optimally tailored to the technical requirements of the cooling tower.

Approval – Service Phase 4 (LPH 4)

After finalizing the design, all necessary documents for regulatory approval were submitted. All building and safety regulations as well as local building codes were taken into account to ensure a smooth approval process.

Implementation Planning – Service Phase 5 (LPH 5)

During this phase, the final execution plan was developed. The detailed planning included all necessary information for project implementation, such as construction drawings, material specifications, and assembly instructions. This ensured that the steel structure could be built to the highest quality standards and according to the planned specifications.

Construction Supervision

Throughout the construction phase, our engineering firm supervised the on-site work to ensure that all executions complied with the plans and quality standards. Coordination of trades, progress monitoring, and quality control played a key role in ensuring the timely completion of the project.
