As Denmark advances its climate and energy goals, reliable and energy-efficient infrastructure is becoming more important than ever. BRUGG Denmark A/S, the Danish subsidiary of interna-tional pipe manufacturer BRUGG Pipes, contributes to this transformation by providing technical support and application-specific pipe systems for thermal energy networks and decentralized supply solutions.

From its base in Fredericia, the local team supports municipalities, engineering firms, and contractors in implementing long-term solutions for district heating, district cooling, and the transport of hot and cold water, adapted to local needs and project requirements.
Supporting heating network modernisation
District heating systems across Denmark are being modernized to operate at lower temperatures while minimizing heat loss. Selecting the right piping solution – one that features optimal insulation, high reliability, and efficient installation – plays a crucial role in reducing operating costs and future-proofing infrastructure.
“The lower the heat loss, the more efficient the network – that’s why many operators rely on high-performance pipe systems,” explains Per Skafte, Managing Director of BRUGG Denmark A/S and BRUGG Scandinavia AB.
Depending on temperature range, layout constraints, and service life expectations, the company offers tailored systems that meet the technical and logistical demands of each project.
Transporting cold energy with confidence
District cooling is gaining traction in urban development and industrial applications, where it enables the efficient utilisation of local energy sources and enhances indoor climate control. However, transporting chilled water requires pipe systems with excellent thermal insulation and absolute tightness to prevent energy loss and condensation.
The team in Fredericia provides suitable solutions for both static and dynamic cooling networks, supporting planners in system design, component selection, and prefabrication to meet performance goals.
Hygienic and resilient hot/cold water supply
Pre-insulated pipe systems for hot-and-cold-water applications, including decentralized drinking water systems, must meet stringent requirements in terms of hygienic safety, frost protection, and durability. The company supplies robust systems designed specifically for underground installation, cold climates, and long service intervals.
Such solutions are particularly valuable in building renovations, remote supply lines, or hybrid installations that combine different temperature levels.
Combined networks in urban space
In many urban and industrial areas, different media need to be routed in a limited space. Com-bined systems for heating and cooling – or for seasonally changing media – require integrated solutions that balance pressure, temperature, and bending flexibility.
Local specialists support the design and supply of such hybrid systems with coordinated pipe types, suitable insulation concepts, and detailed engineering advice.
Engineering support as a key enabler
Close technical collaboration throughout the project lifecycle is a core element of successful infrastructure implementation. The Fredericia-based team supports projects from early planning through to delivery, offering services such as:
- Product selection and media routing advice
- Hydraulic calculations and bending radius optimization
- Coordination of prefabrication and logistics
Thanks to the combination of international manufacturing expertise and local market knowledge, even complex or customized applications can be realized efficiently and on time.
