Lostock EfW Facility

The Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant (Lostock SEP) is a £480m energy from waste (EfW) facility located at the Lostock Works site near Northwich in Cheshire. 

It will recover energy cleanly and safely from refuse-derived fuel (RDF) – the residual waste left over after reusable and recyclable material has been removed.

Appointed by The Carey Group, a leading family-owned engineering and resource recovery business, the team delivered a high quality fit out of a new three storey office space and two storey workshop, followed by the provision of office space 7,100 square feet along with toilets, showers and storage within in two buildings on the site. The building was located within a large construction project for the overall EfW and also formed part of a live process site for TATA Chemicals.  Logistics associated with regular deliveries and working within a vast construction site presented some key challenges for this project however these were successfully managed.

Phil Eastment, Head of Delivery, The Carey Group, said, “Throughout the project the approach of LDC reflected the diligent, detailed and professionalism we’ve consistently witnessed with their team.  This project is vital to the local area as it is set to generate enough energy to power approximately 125,000 homes per year, by cleanly converting residual waste – materials that are not re-usable or recyclable – into energy.  Additionally, it will also contribute further to sustainability by diverting a substantial amount of waste from landfill.”
