Imtech Announces Involvement in Sweden

Imtech announces its involvement in Sweden in realising the energy-efficient technical infrastructure at two leading research institutes, the European Spallation Source (ESS) and the MAX IV Laboratory. Both will be situated near the Lund University. The order package, spread across various implementation phases, could run to 30 million euro or more. Several Swedish Imtech business units will be involved.

 René van der Bruggen, CEO Imtech: ‘Imtech has recently acquired Sydtotal. This is a specialist in energy technology, energy savings and high-quality air and climate solutions. This company has its own Energy Efficiency Competence Centre, developing energy efficiency models together with institutes such as Lund University. This unique competence has partly led to Imtech being involved at an early stage in the development and implementation of energy efficiency at two leading research institutes: the European Spallation Source and the MAX IV Laboratory.’

 European Spallation Source

Within the EU, Sweden received the majority vote for realising the European Spallation Source, a new particle accelerator comparable in strenght to CERN in Geneva. Lund University will be the location for this high-tech research institute, researching micro-materials, structural chemistry, biology and geophysics. The total investment amount to around 1.2 billion euro, with the Swedish and Danish government financing more than 40%. The complex will be visited annually by approximately 5,000 predominantly foreign scientists. Imtech is partly responsible for preparatory studies of the energy infrastructure in this energy-efficient and climate neutral building.
