VALORSUL THE FIRST 25 YEARS
AN EXAMPLE IN THE PROCESSING AND CONVERSION OF WASTE INTO RESOURCES
Valorsul celebrates 25 years. On 16 September 1994, Valorsul, EGF’s concessionaire in the region of Lisbon (North), was born with the ambitious goal of finding a solution and a destination for the thousands of ton of municipal waste produced in Greater Lisbon, and later, in 2010, in the West Region.
Valorsul’s household waste treatment system is a milestone in the history of municipal waste recovery in Portugal.
Over 25 years, Valorsul has invested in the potential of waste as a real resource. It was in Valorsul that Portugal saw the birth of its first energy recovery plant and, years later, the first station to selectively treat collected biowaste.
The result of the work done in the last twenty-five years is remarkable: a yearly production of electrical energy equivalent to 2% of the domestic household consumption using only waste as raw material, a production of more than 600 ton of compost for agriculture, 74,000 ton of materials sent service provided by the company to The territory served by Valorsul covers for recycling, and the achievement of all municipalities and citizens, having been a very diverse geographical area, with environmental goals with less cost the first company to be recognised by the 19 municipalities, where 1.6 million to the citizens. regulatory body with the award of the people live.

makes it possible to use it as a pier along its inner edge. This pier will complement the Port of Cabinda and replace the current floating dock, which, by its nature, will have a reduced service life.
In 2016, the Mota-Engil Angola / Seth Angola consortium proposed an alternative solution for the construction of the breakwater and of the pier. The solution proposed by this consortium is the construction of an embankment with the material resulting from the dredging of the access channel and manoeuvre basin. The embankment’s containment will be carried out using two cable-stayed metal sheet-pile curtains. The embankment platform to be created inside the sheet piling will establish the breakwater and will constitute the platform to support the piers.
The proposed solution also allows using the inner front of the breakwater as a pier.
