Project Overview:
La Collette Energy from Waste facility will provide a reliable means of waste disposal for the Island over the next 25 years and provide up to 7% of the Island’s electricity needs. The contract is for a new, modern plant that will meet the highest air quality standards in Europe and replace the ageing Bellozanne incinerator which is now well past its useful operational life. The new facility will more than double the renewable power generated from waste on Island.
CSBC Ltd is a Jersey registered company formed between CNIM and SCB Ltd for the construction of the new Energy from Waste Facility at La Collette, St. Helier Jersey.
CNIM (Constructions Industrielles de la Mediterranee) are one the world’s leading process contractors and specialize in the turnkey construction of Incinerators. Most recently completed facilities include Marchwood in Southampton, Bilbao in Spain and Lillebone in France. Previous plants include Sheffield and Wolverhampton in the UK. See www.cnim.com
SBC Ltd in a Jersey registered company formed in 2000 originally for the construction of Albert Pier Housing in St. Helier, Jersey. The company is owned jointly by Camerons Ltd and our French partners Spie Batignolles TPCI and offers solutions to large scale civil engineering contracts in Jersey utilizing not only local labour but also the European markets for labour, procurement of materials and sub-contractors and plant. See www.spiebatignolles.fr
The New Energy from Waste facility (EfW) commenced on site in February 2009 and will run for 26 months before handover to the Client. SBC Ltd will be constructing the foundations and concrete and structural steel superstructure and all internal finishes to habitable work areas. CNIM will be designing and installing all the process plant for the operation of the facility.
The works undertaken by SBC Ltd will require the employment of numerous Jersey based contractors to undertake the earthworths, piling, steel reinforcement, finishing trades etc to compliment to specialist works for the concrete structures and external structural steel frame, cladding and roofing works.
In all some 350 men will be on site at peak time, making this Jersey’s largest construction project and will, on completion, provide up to 7% of Jersey’s electricity supply.
The new plant is being constructed to meet all the highest air quality standards required under European legislation and will be replacing the ageing Bellozane incinerator which is coming to the end of its operational life.
Camerons and the site are registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme. Further details can be found at http://www.ccscheme.org.uk/
Minister commends construction work on new Energy from Waste site
The Minister for Transport and Technical Services, Mike Jackson, visited the construction site for the new Energy from Waste Facility at La Collette on Monday 29 June, and was highly impressed by the quality of workmanship at the site.
The Minister, who was shown around the site by Martin Holmes representing CSBC (Jersey) Limited - the contractors constructing the new facility, was shown the specialist concrete shuttering used to construct the bunker which will store waste prior to incineration.
The shuttering technique employed by CSBC (Jersey) Limited has enabled an extremely high quality of concrete finish to be produced in a very quick time, making for an efficient, safe and speedy construction. It is believed that this type of shuttering has not been used on Island since the Albert Pier development was completed in 2004. Specialist workers from France and Portugal have been working with the shuttering in tandem with local workers setting up the reinforcement.
As part of the recent works on site, the introduction of over 500 cubic metres of concrete for the bunker slab is believed to be the largest single concrete pour ever undertaken in one day on the island.
Kevin Bowler from Granite Products Limited, who supplied the concrete for the record pour, explained to the Minister how the company’s entire fleet of 9 trucks had been employed for 12 hours to complete the pour, with the batching plant operating at near capacity throughout the period, which was in itself a considerable logistical feat.
Looking around the site after meeting the construction team, the Minister was impressed by the progress made since his last visit in May.
“It is good to see the work moving on apace on site, and to such a high standard” said the Minister. “Replacing the aging Bellozanne incinerator with this new state-of-the-art Energy from Waste facility is a top priority for the Island.”
“This is the biggest single capital project ever undertaken by the States of Jersey and will transform waste management on the Island, so I am delighted that our local contractors working in partnership with specialists from France are producing such high quality results.“ said the Minister.
Speaking for CSBC (Jersey) Limited, Martin Holmes welcomed the Minister’s visit and said “There is a lot to be celebrated about the design and quality of construction for the new Energy from Waste facility. The construction team are to be congratulated for the quality of their work on site.”
The Minister took the time to inspect the re-instated pathway from the Havre de Pas promenade to La Collette which has been re-opened following repairs to an ash pit damaged in March.
