Iv-Groep was founded in 1949 as a design and drawing office for steel structures. Through the years the company has developed itself into a sparring partner for clients that need independent advice or a constructive solution. Iv-Consult has engineers for design and Engineering of Concrete and Mechanical Structures. Iv-Consult employs about 120 persons. The company is specialised in providing an independent advice for large heavy, complex and moving structures in different markets. A brief description of the Iv-Consult main markets are; • Transport, storage and transfer systems and equipment; • Heavy and special steel and mechanical structures; • Special constructions such as attractions for amusement parks; • Design of harbour and airport terminals, including logistic advice; • All the offices, silos and store sheds etc. included in the projects. The available manpower in the other divisions of Iv-Groep enables Iv-Consult to deploy extra capacity and, if required, other disciplines such as systems engineering, maintenance concepts and 3D measurement and 3D laser scanning. The disciplines within Iv-Consult consist of steel engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, logistic engineering, connection design and management/staff services. Iv-Consult offers its services all over the world. Besides the home market in the Netherlands and Belgium, Iv-Consult serves clients in China, Malaysia, Middle East, Pakistan, Australia and India. For these international services Iv-Consult also runs a fully equipped office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Iv-Consult’s main objectives are: • To be a reliable partner for its clients • To be the innovating and creative consulting engineer for special and large steel, mechanical and concrete structures from feasibility studies up to preparation of shop drawings • To be the logistic advisor for: Storage and Transfer, Internal logistics, People Logistics, Construction Logistics Iv-Consult strives to be the constructive partner. Iv-Consult wants to be the best in steel concrete and mechanical projects, from first draft up to realization. Clients Iv-Consult has a wide variety of clients: • Contractors (national and international); • Operators of terminals and factories; • Suppliers of installations and equipment; • Project developers; • Port authorities; • Government. This new generation of high-tech coal-fired power stations with a gross output of approx. 900 MW will be constructed from 2008 to 2011. Iv’s Client “Alstom Power Systems GmBH” is the designer, who will have the construction executed for the German power supplier EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG. The dimensions of the boiler house are relatively large, with a length x breadth x height of about 68x68x120 metres. The various installations, turbine and generator housing, chimney and cooling tower will also be constructed by other suppliers. The core of the power station consists in general of a square boiler suspended in a very heavy and rigid boiler stand. A boiler house is constructed with a partial suspension from this stand, which will support the flue gas duct, all the equipment, pipelines, landings, staircases, etc. Hard-coal power station, Karlsruhe Rheinhafen Iv-Consult is the engineering company for the structure of the boiler house of the Rheinhafen Dampfkraftwerke Unit 8 (RDK8) for Alstom Power Systems in Stuttgart - Germany. The RDK8 power plant will have a capacity of approx. 900 MW and will be constructed during 2008 up to 2011. The base of the RDK8 will be 68 by 68 meters and has a height of 120 meters. In total the structure will have more than fifty thousand calculated steel elements. Iv-Consult used Scia Engineer as the engineering program for both static and dynamic calculations and it proved to be a very useful tool for this large project. Owner: EnBW Architect: EnBW and fcg-architekten Contractor: Alstom Engineering Office: Alstom Stuttgart Construction Start: 2008 Construction End: 2011 Location: Karlsruhe, Germany Project Information Short Description WINNER WINNER “The high technical level of the structure, the updating of the 3D model including the pipelines and equipment make the project quite complex. The whole structure consists of in total 50.000 elements, 5000 loads, 70 combinations which have been calculated with different models. Also the utilization of Scia Engineer is quite impressive, especially the creative use of the output files obtain the appropriate data.” Quote of the Jury
