The Project in Detail
Feasibility Study and Client Representation for the Extension of the Transformer Production Facility for Siemens Energy AG
Siemens Energy AG manufactures large power transformers in Nuremberg for grid stabilization, the connection of large offshore wind farms, and international power transmission. For the extension of the production facility, which has been in operation since 1912, Siemens Energy commissioned IE Technology with the feasibility study and the subsequent client representation.
The Challenge
To ensure that the new production areas can be made available as quickly as possible, planning and implementation are carried out within a tight timeframe and in parallel with ongoing operations.
Through the detailed analysis of material and process flows, as well as the consideration of spatial relationships and additional requirements, an optimal solution was developed. This was achieved in close collaboration with the employees of the production areas in order to capture all requirements within a short period of time and integrate them effectively into the planning.
Particular focus is placed on the definition of crane zones as well as the precise positioning of pits and foundations – always taking future expansion possibilities into account.
The Success Factors
The framework conditions for planning the new buildings were comprehensively taken into account through close collaboration with the employees of the production areas. In an iterative process, various options were developed, compared, and thoroughly evaluated, always based on the identified requirements.
