The HVC waste plant in Dordrecht wanted to increase their capacity with the addition of a fifth incineration line. With an increase in combustion capacity the plant can recover more energy from the waste. On completion the new incinerator line will replace two of the older lines. This new incineration line has a combustion capacity of approximately 235000 tons per year.
The works were carried out under a Design & Build Turnkey contract as part of a consortium. Within the consortium Visser & Smit Bouw was responsible for the engineering, procurement, planning and construction of the civil/construction work.
The project area totalled 15 370sqm GFA, consisting of:
