Conversion of a Paper Machine

Conversion of a Paper Machine

For our client Nordland Papier GmbH, we carried out the comprehensive conversion of a paper machine. The project included earthworks, concrete and reinforced‑concrete works, façade works, as well as the full installation of the technical building equipment (TGA).

Key challenges included the creation of media‑tight surfaces and executing the works during ongoing operations. With more than 8,500 m³ of concrete and 700 tonnes of reinforcement, we delivered a facility that meets the highest requirements for precision and safety.
