Holzkirchen is currently the southernmost and deepest hydrothermal geothermal project in Germany. The two wells drilled in 2016 and 2017 reached final depths of approx. 5,100 m (vertical) with a drilling distance of up to 6,084 m. The drilling component of the project was completed in 2017. The geothermal plant in Holzkirchen is to be operated with a temperature of approx. 155°C and a production rate of approx. 55 l/s.
Erdwerk supervised the subsurface component of the project in Holzkirchen from the planning, the overall construction management for the two deep wells to the now completed commissioning of the submersible centrifugal pump and the long-term pump test.
