The collaborative project between WSi Techniek and Thermaflex aimed to revolutionize heating solutions for the new building of Oranje Nassau’s Oord, the care center in Wageningen. Opting for a central heating station powered by biomass, sourced from BeGreen, the primary focus was on creating an efficient and sustainable heating network to deliver reliable and eco-friendly heating to the center care residents from the central station. The chosen solution was the Flexalen 600 pipe network.
