Recent projects
Barhale was awarded the contract for the design, supply, construction and commissioning of sewer diversion works in the construction of the replacement Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) in Edmonton.
When fully operational, the 78MWe facility which represents the most environmental and cost-effective solution for managing north London’s waste is expected to process up to 700,000 tonnes of waste per year. It will provide enough power for up to 127,000 homes and enable heat to be supplied locally.
The sewer diversion works include, tunnelling works for the installation of a 1200mm diameter sewer along a stretch of approximately 115m to divert the Chingford sewer and the installation of a 1200mm diameter sewer along a stretch of approximately 165m to divert the Angel sewer, installation of drive shafts at the confluence of the two sewers, installation of reception shafts and connection of the new sewers to the existing network.
