Example Projects

In 2008 Imtech carried out hundreds of energy & environment projects. The following is just a sample.

Energy

  • For a period of fifteen years, and a total contract value of 400 million euro, Imtech will be an energy and energy contracting partner of the German National Security service, Caterpillar and Infineon
  • The technology equipment in nine new biomass factories, biodiesel plants, bio-ethanol plants and innovative combined heat & power plants that are to be built, including the largest European biodiesel plant and the largest European bio-ethanol plant
  • The Imtech Energy Efficiency Programme aimed at optimising the economic feasibility of energy-efficiency investments and reducing CO2 emissions through trading in emission certificates
  • The technical infrastructure in a new, energy-efficient, coal-fired energy plant to be built in Hamm in Germany
  • Energy optimisation in energy plants in Belgium, Germany, Sweden and Ireland, including the reduction of the environmentally-harmful emissions
  • The technology in two high-tech biogas plants in the UK which generate over 2 MW of sustainable energy
  • The technology for various sub-stations for wind turbines in Ireland – Imtech’s first project in the wind energy market
  • The energy metering and issuing of energy labels for hundreds of buildings in the Netherlands
  • Energy reduction through the installation of combined heat & power plants in a large number of hospitals, various governmental building and commercial buildings as well as through the renovation (including biomass) of dwellings in various London suburbs and in hundreds of dwellings in Sweden
  • The provision of energy services to numerous companies and government institutions
  • A high-tech fermentation plant that converts animal fat from which the fatty acids have been removed into biodiesel
  • The total energy technology in a new, energygenerating incineration line at the HVC waste processing plant in Dordrecht, the Netherlands
  • Extracting energy from the hot water present at great depths in old mine workings in Limburg, the Netherlands
  • The green ‘revitalisation’ of buildings involving the replacement of the total technical infrastructure with energy-efficient and sustainable solutions
  • Fitting buildings with energy-generating solar panels in which photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity
  • Innovative ground ventilation that enables the thermal energy in layers deep under the earth’s surface to be used to heat buildings
  • The implementation of scores of projects for public lighting using the 30% more efficient ‘Innolumis’ LED lighting
  • Tens of high-tech converters for energy generation
  • The upgrading of the energy provisions of numerous energy companies
  • Energy-efficient and sustainable technology for doubling the capacity of the largest refineries of Cepsa and Repsol-YPF in Spain
  • Various ‘green ICT projects’ (energy-efficient ICT infrastructure)
  • Imtech was involved in the sustainable exploration for oil and gas, for example by replacing the control systems and software in compressor stations, the control, software and piping for oil pipelines, measuring the output of oil and gas producing locations, the technical infrastructure onboard cargo ships and the automation and the implementation of fire extinguisher systems on oil and gas platforms.


Environment

  • At Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands a solution that converts harmful kerosene emissions into electricity and heat went into operation
  • Reduction of the air pollution from tens of Dwr Cymru Welsh Water’s water treatment plants in Wales
  • Imtech was responsible for the technical infrastructure in virtually all the German automotive industry’s new energy testing and R&D centres aimed at developing new energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly cars
  • Imtech installed innovative (diesel)electric propulsion that will lead to significantly reduced fuel consumption (10 to 20% lower) and harmful CO2 en Nox emissions (15 to 20% lower) on a great many ships

 
Fine particles

Imtech is managing a great many European projects that are improving mobility, managing traffic flow, reducing traffic jams and reducing fuel usage and fine particle emissions, such as:

  • The technical maintenance and management of 2,500 devices under the Dutch motorways that are components of the Motorway Traffic Management) system and of various high-tech traffic management centres and scores of provincial and municipal traffic systems
  • Maintenance of the technical traffic infrastructure and traffic systems of all the motorways in eastern England and the eastern part of the Midlands for the Highways Agency (manager of the motorways in England)
  • Multi-year maintenance of 42% of all the traffic infrastructure and all the traffic systems in the eastern part of London for Transport for London (TfL) in the UK
  • The maintenance and management of the NRTS (National Road Telecommunications Services) project to which all the Highways Agency’s traffic systems are linked. This is leading to optimum traffic flow
  • Mmulti-year maintenance of hundreds of intelligent traffic systems in Poland and Croatia
  • Mmeasuring and reducing the environmentally-harmful emissions of traffic in various Dutch and Belgian municipalities
  • Improving traffic throughput by around 15% in the UK, the Netherlands and Eastern Europe, and thus reducing harmful fine particle emissions, through innovative Urban Traffic Management Control (UTMC) and interactive traffic solutions based on IP technology
  • Installing high-tech traffic solutions on the A2, A7 and A12 motorways in the Netherlands and the M20, M25 and M42 motorways in the UK, including innovative camera systems and solutions for digital route information systems
  • The technology for three pilot projects for dynamic traffic management in the Netherlands


Clean water

  • Thanks to fully automated sewer management and a total approach to the management of the water chain, Imtech has enabled the sewer system to be utilised more efficiently and the pollution of surface water to be prevented
  • Imtech was responsible for the innovative technology for slurry dehydration in various (drain) sewage treatment plants
  • Vvarious clean water projects for Dwr Cymru Welsh Water, where Imtech is responsible for the management of all the technical facilities in the area of waste water treatment in Wales until 2015
  • Anglian Water Services ga ve Imtech the responsibility for the technical infrastructure for the Wing Project – a new water treatment centre that will supply clean water to around one million people in East Anglia
  • In the UK Imtech was involved, as technology partner, in the environmentally-friendly expansion, upgrading and water treatment capacity expansion of scores of waste water plants. Imtech is also involved in numerous social issues in the care sector, education, in the area of security, in research laboratories and test centres, in pharmaceuticals, the development of clean and safe cars and in the food production industry
