CASE STUDIES

CHALLENGE

Another interesting project was for Boeing in Sheffield, who manufactures high-tech components for Boeing’s Next-Generation 737, 737 MAX and 777 aircraft. For Boeing, Schiedel installed the ICS Chimney Flue System. ICS Plus is a twin wall flue manufactured with a stainless steel liner and stainless steel case. It is insulated with a 25mm thick high-density (128kg/m³) superwool blanket. Designed for pressure capability of 200 Pascal’s for use with semi and fully condensing appliances. As with all projects, health and safety is of paramount importance, and just like the Washington Plant, with it’s consecutive World Class Award, the team onsite followed similar safety rules, as the installers were provided with the relevant PPE applicable to the job and site rules.

SOLUTION

To ensure a smooth running oft he project a close dialogue between Boeing and Schiedel was important. Thus a regular Toolbox Talks/Installation Progress Briefing was held on a daily basis, were all challenges and required measures were discussed and reviewed to effectively control project and lead it to a successful end.

CHALLENGE

This project was realised in the year 2018 in Russia in a small village called Martynovsky in the Kurgan region. The greenhouse building needed an energy centre for the efficient operation of the building. Schiedel provided a unique approach in comparison to the other competition by providing an optimum solution with maximum simplicity without compromising on reliability and efficiency. Customer requirements were met by using our steel chimney system ICS 5000_50 DN800- 900-1000 and by installing big diameters. In total 200 running meters have been used.

SOLUTION

In order to accomplish the project and to overcome any upcoming difficulties Schiedel needed to adapt the initial specification of the project. In close cooperation with the customer the best solution was found and the suitable products were identified. As this project required the use of non-standard a-typical elements, these were exclusively produced for this project. Due to the close contact and good relationship with the customer the project was a huge success.

CHALLENGE

This year Schiedel had another interesting project in Bologna, Italy. The project was realised for the customer K5 Spa, the planning studio for Tecnoform Spa, a manufacturer of interior fittings, systems and furnishings for luxury campers and off-shore Schiedel had to install an industrial heating system for this automotive manufacturer. The challenge was to replace and remove the old deteriorated freestanding chimney. Due to the very high amount of condensate the new chimney had to provide extra condensate resistance. To meet those specific customer requirements Schiedel planned and installed an horizontal drain point too. A super ICS 25 mm dn 500 + steel support pole, which was also supplied by Schiedel on demand was installed.

SOLUTION

An on-demand vertical support pole was planned and supplied for the lateral vertical support. During the early phase of installation due to a mistake by the customer the first base element of the ICS chimney was lost / thrown away, so when Schiedel started the installation a solution had to be found for repositioning and adjusting the height, therefore a concrete plinth has been built on site. Thanks to the prompt reaction of the Schiedel installation team and an additional visit on site by Schiedel’s engineering department solved the issue to the customer’s satisfaction.

CHALLENGE

A very interesting project was at the Mariner Leisure Centre in Yarmouth UK, which is located not too far from the impressive Falkirk Wheel in Falkirk. The client was SSE, a gas distribution, electricity and telecommunication company headquartered in Perth, Scotland. The challenge was to supply, deliver and install a HP 5000 250mmID/350mmOD flue (50 cav) off a Capstone C65 CHP a gas turbine one. For this project the multifunctional overpressure exhaust system HP 5000 made of stainless steel was the perfect solution as this system handles over- and/or under pressures of up to 5000 Pascal as well as high or low exhaust gas temperatures. The flues had to rise vertically before turning 87° degree to run at 3° to the horizontal, with a 90° bend, for approximately 5 meters to connect into a HP 5000 250mmID/300mmOD (25 Cav) drained tee and then rising vertically for approximately 9m to termination.

SOLUTION

The Falkirk Council in Scotland required detailed drawings of the exhaust system provided by Schiedel. Construction went according to the plan as the vents had to rise vertically before being rotated 87 ° to travel approximately 5 meters at 3 ° to horizontal with a 90 ° bend, including expansion bellows and jacket, to then feed them to an HP 5000 250mmID / 300mmOD (25 Cav), allow the T-piece to drip off and then rise approx. 9 m vertically to the end. Due to the design of the building, extension brackets were required at various points to ensure the safety of the fume cupboard.

CHALLENGE

Schiedel has been supplying the market leader Resch & Frisch with high quality products for exhaust gas ducting for several years already. The company Resch & Frisch has been the market leader in the gastronomy for high-quality baking pastries for years. For several years now, the end consumer sector and retail trade have also been successfully developed. A new flue gas system had to be installed for the new bread baking line in the Resch & Frisch production facility in Wels. Schiedel took part in the tender and was once again selected to carry out this demanding project.

SOLUTION

In order to meet the requirements of the large bakery to discharge the exhaust gases optimally and efficiently, a total of 3 ICS chimneys with a diameter of 250mm – 600mm had to be installed. The total height of the finished system was approx. 9 m per pipeline and the ICS pipes were equipped with the appropriate PrimaPlus connectors. The coordination as well as the installation on-site was carried out by our Schiedel Kamin-SOS partner Thaler Kamin. Due to the close cooperation and the good on-site support, the project was completed on time. Due to the good cooperation, Schiedel has been able to deliver more than 70 chimneys to Resch & Frisch over the past 10 years since the production facility opened in Wels.

CHALLENGE

The voestalpine company built the world’s most modern stainless steel plant in Kapfenberg, Austria, and thus secured over 3,000 highly qualified jobs in this region in the long term. From 2021 the fully digitized plant will produce around 205,000 tons of the most sophisticated high-performance steels annually, primarily for the international aircraft and automotive industries but as well for the oil and gas sector.

SOLUTION

In this project, the exhaust gas system for a new 100 m long system was put out to tender. In order to meet voestalpine’s requirements, the system was equipped with 3 ICS chimneys with a diameter of 300 and 250 mm and a total height of 9 m each. A total of 40m ICS above the roof and 30m HP 500 under the roof were installed. The installation was carried out by the Schiedel partner Gahleitner Haustechnik. The completion took place in autumn.
