NEWHURST – WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT PROJECT

Completed Project Reference – KDT Industry

Introduction: Transforming Waste into Clean, Renewable Energy

The Newhurst Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Plant Project is one of the UK’s most significant investments in sustainable waste management and renewable power generation. Designed to process non-recyclable municipal and industrial waste, the facility converts refuse into clean energy, reducing landfill dependency and contributing to national carbon reduction goals.

KDT Industry supported this project by delivering structural steel fabrication, silos, feeding hoppers, storage tanks, and auxiliary infrastructure, enabling the plant to achieve world-class efficiency, durability, and environmental compliance.

Project Scope and Objectives

The Newhurst WtE facility was designed to manage thousands of tons of waste annually and generate renewable electricity for homes and industries. KDT Industry’s objectives included:

• Manufacturing silos and feeding hoppers for continuous waste handling.
• Supplying fuel, chemical, and water storage tanks for plant operations.
• Fabricating structural steel frameworks for boilers, furnaces, and auxiliary systems.
• Delivering conveyors, pipe racks, and platforms for material transport and operations.
• Ensuring compliance with EU Waste Framework Directive, ISO 14001, and UK environmental standards.

These contributions positioned Newhurst as a benchmark for modern waste-to-energy plants.
