Biogen signs North Wales AD contract

UK: Waterman is acting as Independent Certifier for another major new food waste management project in North Wales

The North Wales consortium of councils has signed a 15 year contract with green energy company Biogen and its investors Lona Capital to design, build and operate a 22,500 tonne a year food waste Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant at Waen, Denbighshire. The contract was signed on the 31st October 2012. Work on the new plant is due to begin in Spring 2013 and is expected to be completed during the first half of 2014.

Councillor David Smith, Denbighshire County Council’s lead member for environment, commented: “This new AD facility will be good for the environment because it will generate electricity from the food waste that people have thrown away. Biogen have a proven track record in delivering AD facilities.”

Once operational, the AD facility will treat food waste from households in the Denbighshire, Conwy and Flintshire areas together with food waste from local businesses. The plant will generate over one megawatt of electricity and produce a digestate which can be used on nearby farmland as a nutrient rich biofertiliser.

Waterman will be providing independent certification on behalf of the North Wales Consortium and Biogen (UK) Ltd to inspect that the development is delivered in compliance with regulatory procedure.

Waterman support Joe Morris, Business Development Director for Waste & Sustainable Energy commented: “We are delighted that another AD project is moving ahead.

At the time of the Crossrail Act (2008), a preliminary design had been proposed, but in Royal Arsenal Woolwich the interim, various value engineering proposals had been developed to achieve essential cost savings. Based on these proposals, Waterman worked in close liaison with the Crossrail design team to ensure the successful interface Crossrail Station Box with the adjacent route alignment, tunnels and the proposed As part of the major Crossrail project to build an East West rail link under central internal structure needed for the operational station. Berkeley Homes brought on board four specialist contractors, covering London, a new station is planned at Woolwich Arsenal. Berkeley Homes have piling, dewatering, demolition, bulk excavation and reinforced concreting. A series of workshops were held with these been developing the Royal Woolwich Arsenal for a number of years and as part of this contractors, who provided key input into a variety of aspects of the design in terms of buildability and programme. development are providing the Crossrail station box structure. It was not possible to proceed with the detailed design immediately following the completion of the Stage D design, as Berkeley Homes were still negotiating their final agreement with Crossrail. The agreement was concluded in February 2011 and subsequently Waterman was re-appointed to prepare the detailed design. The Soft Eye Method The so called “soft eye” method is increasingly being adopted. The main box structure was completed in December The technique consists of substituting the steel reinforcement bars of 2012; six months ahead of programme due to acceleration the diaphragm wall with composite material bars having a measures that were adopted in the summer, which allowed high tensile strength but low shear strength, which allows the TBM early completion to suit the arrival of Crossrail’s first Tunnel to bore through the wall section easily and without running any risk for the cutting tools and minimizing the risk of water ingress and Boring Machine. ground subsidence.

The Station Box includes a perimeter diaphragm wall, internal piles, base slab, roof slab and permanent/temporary supported directly off the central roof of the box. In addition, propping. Key parts of the design were needed to allow for a major sewer diversion was required around the box, with the entry and exit of the Tunnel Boring Machines through depths varying between 5m and 7m. ‘Soft Eyes’ in the station box end walls and the provision of an Over Site Development (OSD). The OSD comprises Berkeley Homes also decided to progress the OSD 5 major residential blocks to the south of the box and one construction above and to the south of the station box at the same time. Waterman have also been responsible for the OSD substructure design. With both projects progressing concurrently, this has led to additional challenges, ensuring that the designs were fully compatible, particularly as excavation for the two structures progressed together. Although challenging, this has proved a very successful approach.

The Station Box was handed over to Crossrail at the end of February 2013, with the main OSD substructures completing in summer 2013.
