Project Overview
What We Did
Building Project / Renewable energy project
processing over 750,000 tonnes of waste into renewable energy
PWCL supported Hitachi Zosen Inova during the £400 million Riverside Resource Recovery Facility in London, providing construction-phase project management focused on civil works and client negotiations.
The EfW plant, completed in 2006, now processes over 750,000 tonnes of waste annually into renewable energy.
Project Background
The Riverside Resource Recovery Facility is a large-scale Energy from Waste (EfW) plant in London designed to process over 750,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) per year.
As a highly complex industrial project, it combines waste processing with energy generation, transforming refuse into reliable power through combustion technology.
What we did
PWCL was commissioned to support HZI during the construction phase with focused project management.
This involved negotiating civil and building works, coordinating dense technical requirements, and managing interactions with the client to ensure alignment on delivery objectives.
Delivering such a sophisticated EfW facility required seamless integration between engineering design and building infrastructure.
PWCL’s role was to ensure that the structural and civil elements were built around the operational process, from combustion units and heat recovery systems to emissions control and grid interface, maintaining both technical integrity and build quality.
Completed in 2006, this £400 million facility stands as a testament to PWCL’s capability to support highly complex energy infrastructure delivery.
By providing construction-phase management that bridged contractual and technical challenges, PWCL enabled the successful delivery of one of the UK’s leading EfW assets, contributing significantly to sustainable waste management and energy efficiency.
