Description
The new incinerator in Poland will process 94,000 tonnes of mixed waste from the region of Konin a year. The entire process is auto-thermal, so that no additional source of heat is required.
The plant's largest facility, the bunker, is 45 m high of which 12 m are underground. First, light COMAIN panels were assembled for the forming of the foundation slab.
ULMA Solution
The next step was done at the bottom of the building. The 2.65 m high walls were built with SMK trusses and 2.70 m high ENKOFORM V-100 beam-based formwork panels. The tallest walls were built with BMK climbing brackets supporting 5.4 m high ORMA formwork gangs. Due to the system's efficiency regarding costs and time, it could be reused for the walls of other facilities.
The slab dimensions required high load-bearing capacity shoring. This was accomplished by MK and T-60 shoring reaching up to 18 m height.
Interferences between parallel works required special solutions. The shoring of the pier cap and of the roofing formwork overlapped with the fitting of a steel structure. ULMA designed a shoring system with MK-360 at a maximum height of 11.5 m and four 2.5 m high MK trusses spanning over 12.5 m. For load transfer from the top slabs between the 4 towers, profiles were placed on the MK trusses.
