The detail

Showcasing our technical excellence in full alignment with the UK government’s climate change commitments, this £120 million construction is delivering a lasting impact through Immingham Renewable Fuels Terminal’s operational transition from coal to sustainable biomass.

A world-leading, 11.5-acre site, it has the capacity to import, store and the onward transfer of millions of tonnes of renewable fuels. Complex in both design and construction, the world’s largest dedicated biomass handling facility features eight 50-metre high, 36.5-metre in diameter, silos and two 655 tonne continuous ship unloaders with the ability to handle 2500 tonnes per hour.

It also includes a reclaim conveyor system of over two kilometres in length with the ability to manipulate 2000 tonnes per hour. A lorry loading facility on the reclaim system and a litany of mechanical and electrical control systems represent the nuances of this future-proof site, which has been creatively constructed to ensure the facilitation of organic growth and additional silos.
