NI firm Lagan Construction Group have started building work on Viridor's £205 million Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) in Beddington, South London.

The facility will transform 300,000 tonnes of non-recycled waste each year from Croydon, Kingston, Merton and Sutton into 26 MW of electricity.

A leading driver for the development is South London Waste Partnership's aspiration to increase recycling, divert all of the remaining waste from going to landfill and recover energy from what remains. The facility will also have the capacity to export heat from the process to the local area and will be developed to support the Sutton Decentralised Energy Network.

We have a fully committed team to ensure the contract is delivered with the highest safety standards, within programme and offering a value for money solution."
