Steam turbine for Hagenholz waste incineration plant: heavy transport and single-lift installation from a single source

EMIL EGGER transports Siemens Energy turbine from Czechia to Switzerland and lifts up to 66 tonnes with precision.

We were able to make a key contribution to the expansion of the Hagenholz waste incineration plant: The new steam turbine and accessories from Siemens Energy were transported from Czechia to Switzerland by EMIL EGGER and delivered to the construction site on schedule.

The components were unloaded using a 300-tonne pneumatic crane and lifted into position using a 500-tonne lifting system and a long head beam. The heaviest single component – the main turbine – weighed 66 tonnes.

As the general contractor, Caliqua is responsible for the turnkey expansion of the energy centre. Its scope of supply includes, among other things:

  • a extraction back-pressure turbine with 10 MW generator output
  • an air-cooled condenser
  • a heating condenser for district heating
  • and all necessary ancillary systems

As a specialist in thermal plants, Caliqua implements sustainable energy centres, combined heat and power plants and district heating systems – from the initial concept to the finished plant.

Together, we are contributing to the energy future of the canton of Zurich:
With the third incineration line, the Hagenholz waste incineration plant will increase its capacity, efficiency and production of electricity and district heating in the future – an important step in view of growing waste volumes and rising energy needs.
