Sustainable heating with near-surface geothermal heat
Energy is a valuable resource. So why waste the free heat offered by the ground? With geothermal probes and energy piles or walls, we offer two different options for the sustainable use of near-surface geothermal heat.
Geothermal probes are inserted vertically into the ground via geothermal boreholes, drawing energy from the soil as underground heat exchangers. Energy piles or full energy walls offer two advantages in one: As foundation piles or excavation pit walls, they help to stabilize construction soil and are also geothermally activated. This means that like geothermal probes, they draw heat from earth layers near the surface. As an experienced full-service provider of near-surface geothermal heat solutions, we assist you on the journey toward environmentally friendly building heat.

Geothermal solutions for complex projects
Whether for industrial or commercial projects, the use of excess energy requires skilled professionals. After all, every project involves individual needs and special requirements. As an experienced full-service provider, we know exactly how to recover and store unused energy in the form of heating or cooling.
And we develop special applications as customized, individual solutions: including heating pump technology and heat storage facilities.

Questions & Answers
Both of them are geothermal solutions that operate as underground heat exchangers to harness geothermal heat. Above and beyond this, energy piles or walls also take on the function of foundation piles or excavation pit walls.
An underground heat exchanger, such as a geothermal probe for example, consists of a pipe system within the ground. A liquid heat storage medium is pumped through the pipes. This draws heat from the ground and distributes it back to the building using a heat pump.
Yes. In the same way that heat is extracted from the ground for heating, heat can also be transferred into the ground to cool the building in hot weather.
Geothermal activation of foundation elements, including energy piles and energy walls, needs to be carried out during building construction. In contrast, geothermal probes can also be installed after construction in existing buildings.
Their depth varies. A constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius is already available and usable from a depth of roughly 15 meters. The depth of energy piles and walls underground depends primarily on structural calculations, which our experts carry out individually for your construction project. The design of geothermal probes depends on the heat requirement, the available space and the geological conditions. The general depth for geothermal probes is between 100 and 150 meters, with depths from 100 to 400 meters subject to authorization.
If the construction project is located outside a water protection area and there are no geological or hydrogeological restrictions, geothermal probes can be installed nearly anywhere in Germany as a rule. Our experts are happy to review feasibility through a location-specific potential analysis.
