The facility in Sarcelles, the Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) operated by Sigidurs, generates heat and electricity by incinerating waste collected from 59 municipalities.
The AIA Life Designers project management team is leading this highly complex refurbishment project in an occupied and operational facility, alongside SMB and SOPREMA Entreprises.
The key challenge: operations must continue uninterrupted.
In operation since 1978, the ERF generates electricity, half of which is consumed on-site, while the other half is fed into the national electricity grid. The heat produced supplies a district heating network serving 17,000 homes.
An immense 800-tonne steel structure has been installed to protect the site from the elements, complemented by an acoustic enclosure to reduce noise disturbance.
