Sustainable solutions in plant engineering

Our engineering services cover the entire plant construction process, from concept, preliminary and implementation planning to coordinating procurement and supporting production and construction through to commissioning and acceptance. Depending on the customer's requirements, we can take on individual lots through to system or overall planning. As owner's engineer, we represent the interests of our customers in their projects. As lender's engineer, we advise and support the investor and, for example, examine project risks or create profitability models. We are also experts in brownfield projects.

Planning and consulting in all project phases of plant construction

General engineering across all project phases & disciplines

We provide expertise and encompass the complexity of a project in all phases throughout all disciplines - from the initial idea to commissioning by the customer. Our process engineers work with the customer to develop the plant process, which is then further elaborated and implemented with the disciplines of electrical engineering, control technology, layout planning, piping technology and structural engineering. The close link between plant engineering, layout planning and structural engineering always requires individual solutions.

Our own project management leads and controls the designated suppliers and manufacturers, furthermore accompanies the project in all phases up to the acceptance of the service. As planners, we know that it is crucial for the successful implementation of a project that all the disciplines involved collaborate like in an orchestra.

Project phases from planning to acceptance

System planning with our experts

Our team not only plans entire projects, but also formulates on individual system lot's planning details, e.g. water treatment. Depending on the project, we design the required planning steps and integrate the necessary disciplines such as process and machine technology. On the technical basis that a single system can be very complex and requires well-orchestrated interaction between the various specialist disciplines during planning and compilation process. Our specialist engineers also know their trade when it comes to detailed planning and go into depth, for example, when it comes to pipeline planning.

Owner's Engineering

In this role, HÖRMANN ENEX Engineering's experienced project managers act as representatives for customers and represent their interests in the project. They manage funding applications, approval procedures as well as required planners, suppliers, manufacturers and experts. Our experienced experts ensure, among other things, that all disciplines provide their services on time and to the required quality. With our decades of project experience in energy plant construction, we have the necessary knowledge and expertise to represent our clients with confidence.

• Project management for the customer
• Conducting and participating in project meetings
• Quality assurance
• Claim management
• Maintaining the schedule for the customer
• Assistance with acceptance
• Supervision of performance drive and trial operation

Lender's Engineering

As a lender's engineer, we represent the interests of investors, e.g. state banks or funds investing in renewable energies. We prepare due diligence reports and review the existing profitability models and project documentation in order to assess project, environmental and schedule risks and provide the investor with certainty for their project. In doing so, we draw on our extensive experience in energy plant construction. On this basis, we assess whether performance, costs and availability can be achieved and make recommendations on how risks can be mitigated.

• Project management for the investor
• Review of profitability models
• Due diligence
• Assessment of project, environmental and schedule risks
• Recommendations for risk minimization

Brownfield - Planning in existing Establishment

Planning in existing establishment is very complex and requires extensive experience and knowledge. As general planner's, we think multi-dimensionally and think outside the box. As only short operational downtimes are possible, it is important to reconcile the various disciplines of the customer, planning and suppliers in every project. We are always finding new ways to keep plant operational downtimes as short as possible. With our experience, we can also retrofit systems, power plants or heating plants during operation, supplement an old system with a new one and keep downtimes as short as possible.

• Conversion of backpressure steam turbines
• Integration of waste heat recovery in existing systems
• Optimization of process control with regard to district heating
