Welcome to the new e-bulletin for REnescience Northwich

 

Construction of REnescience Northwich is now well underway, so we have replaced our consultation newsletter with an e-bulletin to keep you up to date with the latest news and construction schedule.

Construction latest


Ground improvement work at the REnescience Northwich site is nearly finished and construction is well underway. Several concrete pours have already taken place - the base of the waste bunker, six metres underground, has been completed (above left) and bases of two of the four anaerobic digestion tanks (above right) have also been poured. Construction of the bunker's underground walls is due to begin in early May and, once the facility is completed, this bunker will store enough waste for three to four days of operation.   

Upcoming construction work includes:
  • Laying the foundations of the facility’s main structures.
  • Building the facility’s steel framework.
  • Starting to assemble the anaerobic digestion tanks.
If you have any questions about the construction schedule, please email northwich@dongenergy.co.uk

Local liaison committee holds its first meeting
 

Local residents and council representatives recently (18 April) met with the REnescience Project Team at the first meeting of the project’s local liaison committee.    

The committee has been formed to gather feedback and opinions from local residents and provide information to the community during construction, through commissioning and into the facility’s operational phase.  

Although construction work is expected to cause minimal disruption, DONG Energy is committed to maintaining regular communication with residents and businesses to answer any questions, listen to their feedback and keep them informed of progress.

If you would like to join the local liaison committee, please email northwich@dongenergy.co.uk or phone 01244 940663.
