Steel construction in the Jänschwalde, Hagenwerder and Lippendorf outposts
Another important aspect of business at Kraftwerks-Service Cottbus Anlagenbau GmbH (KSC) is classic steel construction. From the planning stage to the building site, we fabricate steel components for individual construction projects - with speed and precision. Apart from the technical expertise of our own personnel, an essential factor in the success of our work is effective cooperation with suitably qualified partners.
The production, replacement and maintenance of power plant components such as:
- Air preheaters
- Retarded combustion grates
- Scraper conveyors
- Ventilation systems
- Coal handling and ash removal systems
are just as much a part of our portfolio of services as the:
- Production and assembly of industrial steel halls
- Production and rehabilitation of containers
- Production of major components for railway vehicle construction
- Production of core press housings
- Production of oil burner transformers
- Reconditioning of spare parts and wearing parts
KSC attains the highest possible standards of quality by only using certified profiles and sheet metals. At the same time, state-of-the-art production methods guarantee first-class workmanship and consistently high levels of quality.
We work from sketches, drawings or electronically transmitted data on virtually all steel grades, aluminium and other materials.
The know-how and long-standing experience of our workers guarantee cost-effective and environmentally compatible solutions of the highest technical precision.

Wear protection in the Jänschwalde, Hagenwerder and Lippendorf outposts
Wear protection solutions in all conditions
Production and conveyor systems in a variety of areas are subjected to differing levels of wear and tear. Abrasion, impact, temperature and temperature change, chemical exposure and mechanical loads are just some of the forces that affect nearly all components over the long term.
This is why Kraftwerks-Service Cottbus Anlagenbau GmbH (KSC) not only
- applies appropriate wear protection to pipe bends and membrane walls, for example, by means of hardfacing or metal spraying, and
- reconditions pivot points, shafts, runners, rails, stops, sockets and wear plates, it also analyses and assesses wear protection under laboratory conditions.
For KSC, optimal wear protection means using exactly the right material to line a piece of equipment or a system component subject to differing levels of stress. This allows us to achieve long-term, low-cost solutions that assure the economical operation of the whole facility.
KSC engineers develop cost-saving solutions for every application
- for retrospective protection and for new facilities in equal measure.
There is no magic formula here - just years of practical experience
gained from working with KSC.
Compressors and blowers at the Hagenwerder outpost and on the industrial premises at Boxberg Power Plant

Production of welded components and special parts for railway vehicle construction
Our flexibility is to your advantage
Railway vehicle construction is growing and has been an important area of business in our company since 1999.
The production of component assemblies is increasingly outsourced due to the rationalisation of core competencies at major railway vehicle manufacturers. We have been in a position to supply complete welded components for double-decker and single-decker coaches for many years.
This is based on our certification for welding railway vehicle parts in accordance with DIN EN 15085-2, class CI 1.
We facilitate just-in-time delivery for the assembly of finished coaches destined for worldwide use.
We commend ourselves as a logistics site for special deliveries so that we can assemble such complex components for our end customers.
Production of condensers, heat exchangers and containers
In 2006 an efficient regional partner was wanted for the production of condensers and heat condensers.
KSC started making condensers as a subcontractor for a major industrial company and has since become a supplier that has been making complete heat exchangers independently since 2009. KSC's range of services in the fields of container and condenser construction now extends from planning via assembly and transport to the customer all the way to container set-up and connection. We work with long-standing partners here to ensure that we provide top standards of quality.
KSC's portfolio of services also comprises construction site activities. The measures taken include carrying out repairs of every kind to heat exchangers and containers. Installing new piping and welding single pipes from heat exchangers and containers are among the jobs carried out.
The use of unalloyed steels as well as low and high-alloy ones is a matter of course for KSC and this is duly verified in the relevant certifications under the Pressure Equipment Directive (HP0) and, since 2012, ASME. Pipe materials made of chromium nickel steel and titanium or copper compounds can be processed at the same time.
Fair prices and high quality mean that our range of products and services is appreciated in Europe and beyond.
Heat treatment
It may be necessary to carry out heat treatment before and after producing weld joints in alloyed steels. KSC Kraftwerks-Service Anlagenbau GmbH has suitably qualified personnel for this purpose, as well as extensive high-performance heat treatment systems.
Welding procedure qualifications duly testify to our professional expertise and the stability of heat treatment processes. The product palette ranges from steels in material group 1 (e.g. S355J2G3) through material group 5 (e.g. 10CrMo9-10) all the way to high-alloy steels in material group 6 (e.g. X10CrMoVNb9-1).
We are thus ideally qualified to carry out not only welding jobs, but also any essential heat treatment on the most sensitive components in a plant (e.g. live steam line in a power station).
Our range of products and services also includes the shrink fitting of turbine wheels and shrink fits.
Whatever the size of the project, we have access to all the right equipment for carrying out heat treatment processes.
- MF induction annealing equipment, 60 kW AEG ELOMAT MOB., which is coupleable up to 120 kW, including accessories
- Diverse resistance annealing equipment, including accessories
The many years of experience of KSC and its workers in industrial plant and
power station construction are your guarantee that any essential annealing processes,
including the relevant documentation, will be reliably planned and implemented.
