AtkinsR茅alis secured a 10-year, $65 million contract to provide design criteria, consulting, advisory and environmental services prior to construction of the plant in Miami-Dade county.
The new facility would replace an incinerator in the county that was mostly destroyed after a massive fire in February last year. The newly constructed plant would be able to process 4,000 tons of waste per day.
The incineration of waste generates heat that is used to power a turbine generator, creating electricity and other alternative fuels. But only one new WTE facility has been constructed in the last 20 years in the US.
Steve Morriss, president, U.S., Latin America, and Minerals & Metals, AtkinsR茅alis said, 鈥淲e鈥檙e perfectly positioned to continue to support our long-standing client with the development of a green mixed-use industrial campus that creates renewable energy, while solving the County鈥檚 growing waste challenges and opening the door for similar U.S.-based projects in the future.鈥
