ALPINE performed the extensive concreting construction of the TGU (Thermal Gasoil Unit) refinery in Vienna Schwechat as well as the external installations. The entire facility was essentially constructed by way of a pipe bridge with air cooler framework, a preceding equipment framework, a HRD (Heat Recovery Unit) with gas turbine, a compressor as well as a switchgear building and an off-site pipe bridge.

Special features
Permanently elastic, hydrocarbon-resistant sealants were specified to seal grooves as well as penetrations of any hardstanding.

The support structure of the equipment framework and of the pipe bridge with air cooler framework was mainly constructed using the reinforced-concrete skeleton-
construction method and using precast concrete members.

Technical details
Overall dimensions of equipment framework: ca. 90 x 10 m
Pipe bridge: ca. 70 x 9.5 m
Overall height support structure: ca. 25 m
Concrete foundations: C25/30
Concrete hardstanding: 6,660 m²
