Riverside Resource Recovery Facility

Contractors

In February 2007, Von Roll Inova (VRI) was appointed as the EPC (Engineer, Procure and Construct) partner following a rigorous selection process during which Cory was advised by Fichtner Consultant Engineers. VRI is a Swiss contractor of EfW plants and one of the market leaders in this sector. VRI is responsible for providing and installing the technology as well as operation and maintenance support for the first four years of the plant following completion.

Subsequently, at the end of 2007, Costain was appointed by VRI as the civil engineering contractor for the project.

Site Development

Detailed site investigation started in spring 2007, followed by archaeological work in summer 2007 and site remediation work later that year. Essential ecological mitigation measures were also carried out during this period.

With the appointment of Breheny as contractor for the Norman Road improvements, work commenced at the beginning of 2008 on the complete reconstruction of the main highway to the main development area. This work was completed in July 2008, enabling work to start on the construction of the RRR facility including piling of the jetty.

Construction and commissioning of the plant is expected to be complete by mid 2011.
