    Birstal heating network installs wood-fired boiler

    The sustainable Birstal heating network has taken another step forward with the installation of the first wood-fired boilers. According to a press release, the project initiated by Primeo Energie from Münchenstein and uptownBasel has expanded the heating system on the uptownBasel site with the installation of the boilers. A heat pump is to be installed at a later stage. The wood-fired boilers are two biomass boilers with outputs of 8 and 11 megawatts. According to the press release, modern filter systems and technologies should lead to the lowest possible exhaust gas values. At a later date, the heating centre is expected to deliver an output of 40 megawatts, making it the largest plant operated by Primeo Energie in Switzerland.

    The Birstal heating network consists of 25 heating plants and networks in Reinach, Arlesheim and Münchenstein. It is increasingly being converted to renewable energies. Part of the energy source will be waste heat from the uptownBasel area in Arlesheim, while biomass and wood from regional cultivation will also be burnt in cold seasons or during peak loads.

    With the new energy centre and the Birstal heating network, Primeo Energie aims to make a contribution to the energy transition and to a sustainable heating and cooling supply in the region, the press release explains further.

  • Geilinger acquisisce la divisione facciate da Ernst Schweizer

    Geilinger acquisisce la divisione facciate da Ernst Schweizer

    Ernst Schweizer AG, con sede a Hedingen, sta vendendo la sua divisione facciate a Geilinger AG con effetto dal 1° gennaio 2024. Secondo l’azienda, Geilinger continuerà a gestire i reparti di vendita, tecnologia, installazione e assistenza come filiale nell’attuale sede di Hedingen. In cambio, assumerà 40 dipendenti di Ernst Schweizer. In futuro, le facciate stesse saranno prodotte presso la sede di Geilinger a Winterthur. “Il core business di Geilinger sono i progetti di facciate”, afferma Harry Bienz, amministratore delegato di Geilinger AG, nella dichiarazione. “Soprattutto nel settore delle facciate solari, Geilinger vuole partecipare alla comprovata esperienza di Ernst Schweizer AG”

    Ernst Schweizer parteciperà quindi a Geilinger come azionista di minoranza in futuro. Samuel Schweizer vede la vendita della business unit come un passo importante per la sua azienda. “L’attività di progetto, estremamente complessa in termini di processi e procedure, troverà una nuova casa in Geilinger, garantendo così la continuità per i clienti e i dipendenti”, ha dichiarato il CEO di Ernst Schweizer AG.

    In futuro, Ernst Schweizer si concentrerà sul business dei prodotti e dei fornitori, in forte crescita. Questo è composto da quattro unità di business. Ernst Schweizer continuerà ad operare come fornitore di sistemi per finestre in legno/metallo e pareti pieghevoli e scorrevoli, come fornitore di cassette per le lettere e per i pacchi e come fornitore di sistemi solari in Europa. L’azienda continuerà a dare lavoro a più di 450 persone.

  • The symbiosis of steel and drywall

    The symbiosis of steel and drywall

    Walk-in room-in-room solution
    Coop had been thinking about building a comfortable lounge for its employees for a long time. A 5-meter-high room, a kind of gallery, which is also adjacent to other rooms, was ideal for this purpose. But it would have been much too big, with its sand-lime brick walls, not comfortable and not heated. A room-in-room solution therefore offered itself, which could be implemented quickly, without a lot of dirt, but in compliance with all statics and fire protection requirements. Because the assembly took place while the high-bay warehouse was in operation, everything had to be well prepared and done quickly.

    Only half a day for the substructure
    As with all construction systems with a high degree of prefabrication, precise planning data and error-free transmission to the manufacturer were decisive. All steel profiles were cut to size and provided with the screw and punch holes to facilitate on-site assembly. The individual profiles could be efficiently screwed together using numbers and an assembly plan. Thanks to the corresponding planking, the entire construction has a fire protection rating of REI60. Plasterer entrepreneur Hansjörg Alder: “The steel structure was in the distribution center in just half a day, and within three days it was planked and ready for expansion.” You don’t notice the stylish room and its quality of stay that it was delivered as a kit and set up within a very short time.

    Like lightweight construction, simply much more stable
     RiModul® is actually nothing more than lightweight construction with stronger profiles. They achieve the best possible ratio of strength to weight, which among other things leads to dimensionally stable constructions – that is, walkable and resilient ceilings with additional usable area – and increased seismic resistance (earthquake security). And the system is based on the principle of prefabrication, which can reduce the overall construction time by up to 60%. RiModul® lightweight steel construction systems also result in significantly lower loads on the foundations than conventional construction methods. Complex objects in new construction and renovation can thus be realized safely, economically and with almost unlimited design flexibility. The RiModul® lightweight steel construction systems are particularly suitable for additions, extensions and, as in the case of Coop, room-in-room constructions. It also makes sense to use it as an external wall system for infilling in hybrid buildings.
