Power Station Construction<br />

Natural draught cooling<br />

<strong>tower</strong>s Neurath<br />

Two cooling <strong>tower</strong>s were erected for<br />

the new lignite-optimised power plants<br />

F and G in Grevenbroich, in the immediate<br />

vicinity of Neurath power station.<br />

Their state-of-the-art design represented<br />

a completely new technical<br />

challenge. The climbing scaffold<br />

developed especially for this purpose<br />

adapts automatically to the <strong>construction</strong><br />

progress and shape of the cooling<br />

<strong>tower</strong>. With the development and<br />

optimisation of a special acid-resistant,<br />

high-performance concrete, ALPINE<br />

demonstrated its technological<br />

expertise in modern power station<br />

<strong>construction</strong>.<br />

ALPINE innovations shorten the <strong>construction</strong><br />

period and increase the level of safety for<br />

workers.<br />

FEATURES<br />

Acid-resistant concrete of cooling <strong>tower</strong> shells and trickle grates<br />

Use of the ALPINE scaffolding for creating cooling <strong>tower</strong> shells<br />
