Thermal Waste Treatment Plant Spittelau – New Construction to the Existing Plant –

After only six years the plant had utilized one million tonnes of waste. Throughout the following years, pipeline construction over long distances intensified and by 1985 a closed circular pipeline for heating supply had been built around the entire inner city district of Vienna. Among many others, the parliament, the Vienna Burgtheater and the Vienna City Hall, were the first customers of the company Heizbetriebe Wien. The number of supplied buildings increased steadily and the technical plant was further enlarged and adapted to the state-of-the-art. Until today, the pipeline system has been provided with hot water supply from waste incineration plants such as WIP Flötzersteig, hazardous waste incineration plant Simmeringer Haide, WIP Pfaffenau, other decentralised plants – Arsenal, Kagran, Leopoldau, Inzersdorf – as well as the cogeneration of the larger power plant Simmering and power plant Donaustadt units.
