Near-surface geothermal energy for a pleasant climate

PBS Logitek Dienstleistungen GmbH is building a new, automated logistics hall at its site in Wels. The specialised civil engineering department of PORR Bau GmbH is responsible for the construction of the monovalent geothermal plant. The system supplies the logistics hall with sustainable and self-sufficient heating and cooling

via 38 geothermal probes with a depth of 210m and a total length of approx. 8km. This enables passive cooling, which maximises the efficiency of the hall's temperature control in summer. In total, the geothermal system provides around 300 kW of heating capacity or 585 MWh of heating energy and 200 kW of cooling capacity or 160 MWH of cooling energy.
