Lakeside Energy from Waste Plant (EfW Plant)
Private Sector
Slough, Berkshire
The Lakeside Energy from Waste (EfW) plant at Colnbrook near Slough in Berkshire is playing a major role in energy conservation by recycling domestic and commercial waste, and is set to generate 32Mw of power from both its material recycling facility and clinical waste incinerators, burning around 400,000 tonnes of waste every year.
Royal Haskoning has been working with main contractor BAM Nuttall and process contractor Takuma to provide civil and structural engineering and architectural services, along with geotechnical and environmental design, for the plant which is based on the site of an existing clinical waste facility. Our brief has been to optimise the layout of the building and improve logistics and process flow to reduce construction costs where possible.
