A Keppel-led consortium has received the Letter of Acceptance from the National Environment Agency (NEA) for an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract worth approximately SD 1.5bn, for the development of a Waste-To-Energy (WTE) facility and a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) for Singapore’s new Tuas Nexus IWMF.
The consortium comprising Keppel Seghers Engineering Singapore Pte Ltd (Keppel Seghers), China Harbour (Singapore) Engineering Company Pte Ltd (China Harbour) and ST Engineering Marine Ltd, the Marine arm of Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering), will design and build a 2,900 tonnes per day (tpd) WTE facility and a 250 tpd MRF as part of the IWMF Phase 1 development. The IWMF WTE facility and the MRF will be amongst the largest of such facilities in Singapore when they are completed in 2024.
Based on Keppel Seghers’ WTE technology, the WTE facility will generate sufficient electricity to sustain the operations of Tuas Nexus IWMF Phase 1.
China Harbour will undertake the civil, structural, and landscaping scope of the project, while ST will be responsible for the construction of the MRF, power-island and the balance of plant.
