Crediton-based South West Galvanizers, part of Wedge Group Galvanizing, has galvanized over 500 tonnes of structural steelwork fabricated by Dorset-based Structural Steel Company, Snashall Steel Fabrications Ltd, to develop the new Mechanical Biological Treatment facility on the Northacre Trading Estate in Westbury.
The structural steelwork on the site is due to be completed in the autumn of 2012, with the project due for completion in 2013. When the plant is fully commissioned, it is expected it will process 60,000 tons of household waste a year, and turn it into 20,000 tons of Solid Recovered Fuel for use initially in Europe. It is also expected to reduce the proportion of Wiltshire’s waste sent to landfill by almost 20 per cent, which will have both environmental and financial benefits for the county.
