New construction / expansion of a pulp mill in Stendal
Client: Zellstoff Stendal GmbH
Customer: Metso Paper Pori OY
In 2003 the pulp mill in Stendal was one of the biggest new construction projects in Germany in the last years. We planned the Boiler building on behalf of the Metso Paper company from Pori in Finland.
Especially the woodchips silo of 300t should be noted. It is installed in a height of +30.00m on top of the building. The light room under the silo must be kept clear for the conveyor belts. This means the silo cannot be supported directly. In consideration of the building deformation we were able to design a very economical and spacial building structure.
Our performances:
• Pre-planning and co-ordinating the mechanical planners
• Static calculations
• Formwork and Reinforcement drawings
• Steel construction drawings
• Manage tendering process
• Participate in allocations of contracts
• Construction supervision
• Accounting control and inspections
Expansion
The existing boiler building (built in 2004) became to small so it had to be expanded by two extra boilers. This was already considered in the foundation plannings of 2003. However the steel construction had to be erected with an expansion joint in front of the existing building. In order to avoid settlement differences the gable wall was founded on piles.
The new part of the building is paired lengthwise with the old part. This way the wind load that has effect on the gable wall can be conducted very economically over the existing composites.
Our additional performances concerning the expansion:
• General construction planning
• Preparing building permit application documents for the expansion
• Tenders, service specifications, price comparison
