PROJECT BACKGROUND

Britannia Metals, part of the Glencore group of companies, were looking to develop a battery recycling facility at the site in Northfleet, Kent. This plant would take used batteries, process them and sell the refined parts for use in new battery production.

SLR Consulting secured the work to develop and manage the construction of the facility under an EPCM Model Contract.

The project was further broken down into a series of sub-packages, with the first being the site clearance and cleaning. This involved the removal of old process equipment and the cleaning of the existing structures. This was particularly challenging as the site was contaminated with lead.

WHAT WE DID

PWCL were appointed to act as project manager for SLR, managing the site works and providing commercial support.

This role complimented the services provided by SLR on this project and enabled SLR to secure and undertake this project.
