Rueil Malmaison, 22 October 2020
VINCI will build a recycling centre in
north London
- Construction of a sorting centre, recycling centre and a
community education facility
- Capacity to manage 135,000 tonnes of recyclable material
every year
- A £78.9 million contract (€87.4 million)
VINCI Construction, through its UK subsidiary
Taylor Woodrow, signed a contract with the North London Waste
Authority (NLWA) to build recycling facilities, as part of the
North London Heat and Power Project (NLHPP).
The construction will begin in January 2021
after an Early Contractor Involvement phase during which
preliminary works will be carried out and the design finalised. The
project is scheduled for completion in October 2022 and worth a
total £78.9 million (€87.4 million). It includes:
- A Resource Recovery Facility with capacity to manage
135,000 tonnes of recyclable material every year
- A Reuse and Recycling Centre for public and business use,
enabling local residents to dispose of their waste directly
- EcoPark House, a facility open to the public to raise awareness
among the local community about the importance of the circular
economy and reducing the carbon footprint of waste.
The geotechnical engineering work will be
conducted in synergy with Bachy Soletanche and Vibro Menard,
both of which are VINCI Construction subsidiaries, which will
complete the complex foundations to support the 74 m long
processing hall.
Environmental considerations are at the heart of
the project, which will include a rainwater collection system and a
clean energy system powered by photovoltaic panels and geothermal
energy. There is also an opportunity currently being investigated
to harness the energy from the adjacent River Lee Navigation using
hydro turbines. The facility will also be equipped with a
cutting-edge ventilation system to neutralise any odours.
NLWA's drive is to achieve 50% household
recycling rates and tackle the Climate Emergency by diverting up to
700,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste from landfill. The Project's
carbon savings are the equivalent of 215,000 tonnes of CO2
each year, in an area that is home to around 2 million
people.
Taylor Woodrow has already built two cutting
edge facilities in north Yorkshire and Cornwall, and this project
allows it to further demonstrate its expertise in waste
recovery.
The teams from VINCI in the UK are also involved
in the Tideway scheme, a major project to capture, store and convey
sewage and rainwater in a centre in London to clean up the River
Thames.
