Project
15 meters below ground, take a trip into the past in the historical landmarks of Vienna’s beloved cellars. One is brought face to face with Vienna’s history in an especially adventuresome way. For this attraction the cellars were totally renovated and brought up to date. They are found directly below the Salvatorian Abbey in the Habsburgergasse in the heart of Vienna’s 1st district

Scope of Services
We were contracted to handle the entire building services. We were responsible for the delivery, and construction of the heating appliances and HV/AC unit as well as all the plumbing. The contract entailed the detailed plans, project management and bringing online of all services.

Key Indicators
Total area:                             1300 m²
Heating capacity:                   107 kW
Cooling capacity:                   160 kW
Date of Completion:               May 2012

Highlights
Because the site sits under historical preservation protections, there was a high degree of precision and care that the team undertook with this cellar. A daily detailed coordination with the construction team regarding the overall plan was especially important. An additional challenge with this project was the high (85%) humidity, which adds to the demands on the heating and cooling systems. Building a pedestal to mount the heat exchanger on the very limited roof of the abbey was cause for some concern by the neighbors.
