Fortum's District Heating Network project with waste heat recovery

Discover the intricate details of an ambitious infrastructure development project in Finland – the District Heating Network initiative. Its main goal is to integrate the waste heat generated by the data centre in Kirkkonummi to the district heating network in Espoo. This project shifts the paradigm in sustainable energy solutions, pushing boundaries with meticulous planning, skilled engineering, flawless execution, and the unique technology offered by Pointscene.

About the project

The scope of the District Heating Network project is substantial, involving the installation of a 5-kilometer pipeline to channel the heat from the Kirkkonummi heat pump plant all the way to Espoo. This pivotal venture is at the core of Fortum's strategy to harvest waste heat from data centres to fuel district heating, thus promoting energy efficiency and minimizing fossil fuel reliance. The project's lifecycle comprises several vital stages: removal of vegetation, trench excavation, pipeline laying and jointing, and site restoration post-construction.

Pointscene's unique technology comes into play by managing drone data and quantities, ensuring an unrivaled level of situational awareness. This state-of-the-art tool enables the project team to closely monitor worksite quantities with thorough drone data.

Paving the path for a greener future

Before Pointscene's intervention, effective worksite monitoring posed significant challenges due to the unavailability of the right tools. The platform's utility in creating and managing drone data has been instrumental, offering in-depth visuals and quantitative insights. As Pointscene's first customer to utilize the Drone Maps module, Fortum bears testimony to the value it adds.

With Pointscene we can easily monitor worksite quantities with our drone data.
