Lightweight Warehouse - MAN Energy Solutions

Schneller Aufbau, jahrzehntelange Standzeit

At turbomachinery manufacturer MAN Energy Solutions, innovations are constantly emerging. Oberhausen is the leading production and service site for compressors, expanders, and turbines in MAN ES's industrial segment. Thanks to a unique engineering approach, new technologies such as ambient air-based energy storage solutions and industrial heat pumps are being developed there. The design of new machine types occasionally generates foundry patterns – these require secure storage not only due to their size but also their quantity.

For years, MAN Energy Solutions Oberhausen has therefore partnered with Herchenbach Industrial Buildings, utilizing their industrial tents, specifically optimized for the B2B sector, as storage space. Herchenbach halls can be used for decades: The first lightweight halls were built for MAN Turbo AG, the predecessor of MAN Energy Solutions. In the last five years alone, seven new hall projects have been added to the Oberhausen site: six large halls (three of which are twin bays) with a total storage area of ​​4,500 m², as well as one smaller hall.

Requirements for lightweight warehouses:

Weather and theft protection: The engineering department's models must be stored protected from rain and other weather conditions. Wall cladding made of trapezoidal sheet metal is a robust and cost-effective solution in this case; it is simply inserted into the hall profiles.

Condensation protection: The roofing of the lightweight halls consists of high-quality industrial PVC, which can be supplemented with an inner membrane upon request. The mesh fabric allows moisture to diffuse outwards only. The models inside the hall are protected from condensation.

Individuality from a modular system: Herchenbach's industrial tents are erected using a modular system. This shortens planning and delivery times. Thanks to the various modules of the modular system, the halls can be optimally adapted to individual storage needs. While MAN Energy Solutions varied the lengths of previous halls by selecting different truss spacings to make optimal use of the site, the same dimensions were used for the 2018 and 2022 halls. The 2020 hall has a smaller footprint, but its width harmonizes perfectly with the other halls in the vicinity.

Herchenbach Industrial Buildings

Herchenbach constructs lightweight halls from aluminum profiles for the B2B sector. These industrial halls are designed using a modular system, allowing for quick planning and rapid assembly. They are also certified for decades of service life.

In many cases, a foundation is unnecessary; anchoring with ground anchors is sufficient. To ensure the halls remain safe and usable for decades, Herchenbach offers service inspections.

Herchenbach has a close and trusted partnership with MAN at various locations. For MAN Energy Solutions in Oberhausen, an entire street has been developed with several Herchenbach lightweight halls in recent years. Additionally, halls on the site have been relocated to a different location.t.

MAN Energy Solutions SE

The Oberhausen site is the heart of MAN Energy Solutions' process industries division. Around 1,800 employees develop and manufacture compressors, expanders, and turbines there for customers worldwide. At the same time, the site is the leading production and service center for compressors and turbines within MAN ES's industrial segment.

The efficient turbine trains are used in the production of plastics, steel, paper, industrial gases, and chemical and petrochemical products, among others. The site's unique compressor expertise is key to innovative technologies such as large-scale heat pumps, CCUS solutions, and energy storage systems.

For construction without a foundation, a paved area is sufficient.
Trapezoidal sheet metal

The wall cladding of the unheated storage halls consists of robust trapezoidal sheet metal. The material is durable and requires little maintenance. If the wall cladding is damaged, for example in a forklift accident, individual wall panels can be replaced.

Double-aisle

In double-aisled halls, the two inner walls are recessed. This simplifies manoeuvring within the hall. A gutter is installed between the two building sections to protect against rainwater. The box gutter is also available with integrated gutter heating.

Sliding gate

The sliding gate is made from the same robust trapezoidal sheet metal as the wall cladding and offers optimal weather and theft protection. To ensure safe exit from the building at all times, Herchenbach also offers a variety of doors.

Full-Service Warehouse Construction

MAN Energy Solutions has continuously expanded its storage capacity with lightweight halls from Herchenbach. These modular halls can be planned and erected quickly. At the same time, their modular design allows them to be individually adapted to the site and storage requirements. Even after handover, Herchenbach customer service is available for inspections, as well as for hall modifications or relocation. If the halls are no longer needed, they can be re-erected at a different location or recycled.
