Geothermal progress in the centre of Monheim: project update from the construction phase

The geothermal work in the centre of Monheim is becoming visible step by step, as the implementation in the construction phase is progressing in a structured manner. This project update shows the current status of the work and illustrates how the geothermal realisation is progressing on site.

In this context M&P Energy within SIERA for communicating the project update and the structured progress of the geothermal realisation. The development in the centre of Monheim shows how a geothermal system is implemented in clearly defined phases on the construction site.

Start of geothermal work

An important milestone was reached on 30 March 2026, when work began on installing the 170 geothermal probes in the excavation pit.

This marked the start of a key implementation phase within the project. The geothermal probes form a central component of the system and create the basis for the next project steps.

The latest update makes it clear that visible progress has already been made on the construction site.

Progress on the construction site

More than 62 probes have already been installed.

This shows that the geothermal work is progressing steadily. The current construction progress is around 2-4 drillings per day, supported by 2 drilling rigs.

This constant pace underlines a structured and organised implementation.

Functional testing and quality assurance

An important part of the work is the testing process after installation.

All probes are tested for functionality by means of pressure and flow tests after installation and pressing.

These checks are a necessary step in the realisation and help to ensure that each installed probe is checked before the following work steps continue. This emphasises the structured execution of the geothermal work.

Next implementation steps

The project update also describes the next steps on the construction site.

As soon as the drilling in the first field has been completed, the connection and earthworks will begin there.

This means that the project is not only progressing with the drilling work, but is also moving on to the next implementation phases.

Progress on the construction sites

The update also mentions that the connection work has already begun in the first of three construction areas.

This phased approach shows that the realisation is progressing in clearly defined stages. The division into three construction areas supports structured project realisation and makes progress visible across the entire construction site.

With the transition to the connection work in the first area, the project shows the continuous progress of the geothermal realisation.

Execution of the work

According to the project update, the work will be carried out by BAUER Resources GmbH.

This is part of the reported implementation status and contributes to the overall progress of the project in the centre of Monheim.

Outlook

The geothermal work in the centre of Monheim is progressing step by step.

With ongoing drilling work, testing of the probes after installation and the transition to the connection work in the first construction field already underway, the project update shows continuous progress in realisation.

Further updates on the progress of the project will follow in the coming months.
