Clugston To Begin Building £340m EfW Plant In Kent
Clugston Construction is to begin developing a new £340 million combined heat and power facility in South East England.
The Kemsley energy from waste (EfW) plant has reached financial close and building work is to start next month in Kent. The facility is scheduled to begin operations in 2019.
The project is being developed by Wheelabrator Technologies and CNIM Group are acting as the principal contractor. Over the next 36 months, the companies will work alongside lead building designer Arup to ensure the projects successful delivery.
The consultancy will provide civil, structural and geotechnical engineering, in addition to reviewing mechanical, electrical and plumbing building services.
The multimillion-pound facility will divert 550,000 tonnes-per-annum of waste from Kent and the South East of England. In addition, it will provide steam for a nearby papermill, generate 43MW of sustainable electricity at full capacity and support 40 full time jobs.
Paul Green, Managing Director, Wheelabrator UK, said: "To achieve financial close is a significant milestone and I'm very proud of our team for making this possible, and excited to welcome a second facility in the UK to our fleet."
Ben Glover, Associate Director and Energy & Waste Buildings Business Leader at Arup, added: "As an industry we are increasingly acknowledging how valuable waste is as a resource for generating energy, but also the treatment of waste through an Energy from Waste plant reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Facilities like these are shining examples of how great engineering can produce both environmental and economic benefits."
