New Chimneys and Structures
Tall industrial chimneys are integral components of various industrial facilities. Many industrial sectors rely directly on the presence of one or more industrial chimneys for their operations.
Most industrial chimneys consist of two main parts: the external supporting shaft and the internal protective lining through which the exhaust gases flow. Both of these parts can be made from various materials, and multiple linings can be placed within a single shaft.
Omega - Teplotechna Prague a.s. undertakes the construction of new chimney shafts of all types, including:
- Brick chimneys
- Steel chimneys
- Special chimneys
- Reinforced concrete chimneys
We execute the construction of various types of internal protective chimney linings, including:
- Ceramic linings laid with acid-resistant mortar
- Traditional linings constructed with chimney bricks or refractory bricks
- Steel liners (made from stainless steel, carbon structural steel with an inner protective layer, corten, and other metals)
- Special linings (laminate, plastic, special protective coatings, and more)
Our clients include numerous prominent companies both in the Czech Republic and abroad. When it comes to construction, project work, or potential chimney repairs, we collaborate with leading global specialists in this field.
Construction of Industrial Structures Using Slipform Technology
For the construction of tall reinforced concrete structures, which include not only chimneys but also other special objects such as silos, towers, pillars, and more, slipform technology is widely employed today. This technology significantly reduces the construction time of the reinforced concrete structure compared to standard formwork methods while ensuring high-quality results.
The principle of this method involves the continuous movement of formwork elements fixed in a frame structure using hydraulic jacks. The concrete casting speed, depending on the prescribed casting technology, the complexity of the structure, and weather conditions, typically ranges from 4 to 6 vertical meters in 24 hours. The precise shape and verticality of the structure are continuously monitored during construction using special optical instruments.
Omega - Teplotechna Prague a.s. has successfully completed a variety of structures using this method, which are listed in our references.
