Description

The existing building technology – in particular the refrigeration systems – had to be temporarily dismantled for the renovation of the roof on the south end of Munich’s Schrannenhalle. IBIG contributed its technical expertise here: from coordinating the dismantling and setting up a temporary cooling supply on the ground to planning and site management of the new installation on the roof. The operation of the 1.0 MW chiller in the basement was thus maintained, apart from a brief, technically necessary interruption during the construction phase, and the system was subsequently put back into operation in a modern and reliable manner.

Initial situation

The roof of the south end of Munich’s Schrannenhalle was leaking and needed to be renovated. Over the years, the technical equipment on the roof had accumulated so much that maintenance access – especially to the hybrid drycoolers for the water-cooled chiller in the basement – was hardly possible. There were also control and system-related problems, which made operation even more difficult.

Project objective

The main objective was to ensure the refrigeration supply as far as possible during the refurbishment, so that the operation of the Schrannenhalle – in particular the Eataly market and the office space – could be guaranteed without extended outages. In addition, the control and system-related problems were to be permanently resolved and the refrigeration system was to be put back into operation reliably, efficiently and sustainably once the work had been completed.
