Skelton Grange Energy from Waste (EfW) represents a significant addition to the UK’s waste management infrastructure, poised to deliver crucial sustainable waste treatment solutions and aid in achieving the region’s Net Zero target. Given the scale of the project, digital workflows were essential, with model data feeding into the design, erection, temporary works and lifting processes.
Located in South Leeds, West Yorkshire, Skelton Grange EfW is designed to process 410,000 tonnes of residual waste each year and is forecasted to generate 49 MW (gross) of electricity, providing renewable baseload electricity for over 100,000 UK homes. As well as helping to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and cut carbon emissions, Skelton Grange also aligns with the UK’s efforts to diminish landfill waste and enhance material recovery through recycling.
