District heating systems 

COWI deals with questions related to the establishment of district heating transmission and distribution pipelines, optimization and extension of existing networks and renewal and replacement of worn-out pipeline systems.

Modern tools for optimization

We have a large number of professionals at our disposal in relevant specialist areas, e.g. geotechnology, land surveying, road building and welding technology. These professionals are often involved in the execution of district heating projects.

The most modern tools for optimization and registration of pipeline networks are of great importance to the operational phase, where continuous optimization can be achieved in connection with changed consumption patterns, network extensions, etc..
