Energy from waste\u00a0facility targets BREEAM Excellent rating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Parc\u00a0Adfer\u00a0is an energy from waste facility\u00a0located\u00a0in Deeside, North Wales, designed to process unrecyclable waste and convert it into energy, thereby reducing landfill use and generating electricity. It processes up to 232,000\u00a0tonnes\u00a0of waste per year and generates enough electricity to power more than 45,000 homes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the outset, enfinium\u00a0<\/a>\u2013 one of the UK\u2019s leading energy-from-waste operators \u2013 was committed to creating a facility that achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating for sustainability performance. BREEAM is the world\u2019s leading sustainability assessmen<\/a>t method for the built environment, providing widely\u00a0recognised\u00a0third-party certification of an asset\u2019s environmental,\u00a0social\u00a0and economic sustainability performance.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a BREEAM licensed assessor company, SYSTRA was appointed by the project\u2019s engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor, CNIM UK, to manage the formal BREEAM assessment process for Parc Adfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BREEAM criteria integrated at every stage of design and build <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Parc Adfer development was classed as a BREEAM \u201cbespoke\u201d project, meaning it would be assessed using customised criteria, tailored to the project\u2019s unique use and sustainability opportunities.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SYSTRA worked in close collaboration with key individuals from the client and contractor teams to integrate relevant BREEAM requirements into the design and build process. Our work included understanding and identifying any risks and opportunities, and helping to make the assessment process as straightforward as possible.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our BREEAM specialists provided technical support, guidance and feedback on BREEAM criteria and the evidence required to meet them throughout all stages of the project. Our advice ensured that sustainable measures for the proposed development were successfully incorporated into the design from an early stage, and that all project documentation was aligned with relevant BREEAM standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Well-defined roles and responsibilities keep performance on track<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

To establish a clear set of actions and targets for all parties, our BREEAM Assessor led a pre-assessment workshop with the client, contractor and design teams to review baseline information and define roles and responsibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working alongside all project teams, we held regular progress meetings to review the status of key assessment criteria and monitor progress against BREEAM performance indicators. These regular meetings enabled queries to be raised as the project progressed, and any issues or constraints to be identified and addressed in good time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BREEAM Excellent rating achieved with zero non-conformances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The proactive and thorough approach adopted by SYSTRA led to both the design stage and post-construction stage achieving certification ahead of programme. What\u2019s more, there were zero observations, queries or non-conformances raised in the final BREEAM assessment report.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The completed development achieved its target BREEAM rating of Excellent with a final assessment score of 73.8%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d love to help with your next project<\/p>\n\n\n\n
