The project encompasses the construction of a new facility on a 1.1ha brownfield site in St Mark Street, Hull.

The 150,000 tonnes per year facility is being built for Geminor, a Norwegian waste management company that has a waste contract with Hull City Council until 2030.

It will supply refuse derived fuel (RDF) to the nearby Energy Works (Hull) energy plant and to other waste-to-energy incinerators in the UK and overseas.

The site will require earthworks, drainage and levelling to be carried out before civils works progress to the construction of the 3,800 sqm portal frame and clad processing facility.

The completed facility will comprise of a steel framed and clad reception and screening building, with piled foundations and concrete floor slab, supported by piles, insulated cladding and liner systems to external walls and roof. Concrete and block walls will form internal storage areas used for managing feed stock. Other installations will include fire suppression, odour control, weighbridges, roller shutter doors, roof lights, associated M&E installations, and external works.

Keltbray pre-construction director Richard Smith said: “This has been a target project for us and we are delighted to be part of the delivery team. Upon completion, this site will contribute to increased energy creation for the local community, whilst further strengthening our position in the region.”

Geminor UK country manager James Maiden said: “We are delighted to start the construction of our new and modern processing facility in Hull and to create a low carbon fuel from Hull City Council’s waste. This year we will implement technology that efficiently strips plastic from the waste, and our intention is to produce low carbon RDF both for the domestic and international market.”
