FCC Industrial plans to begin preliminary work on the Greengairs incinerator (Scotland). The future incinerator will be managed by FCC Environment UK.

The project as a whole includes the design and construction of a solid waste incineration plant, the realization of which faces two fundamental challenges to be resolved prior to the construction of the plant: the existing land has housed coal mining activities, both open pit as underground exploitation. This land is mostly covered by a thick layer of peat.

FCC Industrial will carry out the preliminary works consisting of the remediation of the mines, as well as the relocation of the peat.

For the mine remediation work, the areas of surface instability due to mining activity have been located and will be sealed by drilling a mesh of holes and injecting cement grout and fly ash from the thermal power plant (PFA). .

For the relocation of the peat, it will be done following a process of excavation in layers and placement of the excavated material in the receiving area in the same order in which they were originally, in order to continue maintaining its function of capturing carbon dioxide, following the requirements of the planning authority and the Scottish environmental protection agency, SEPA (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency).

As a complement, FCC Industrial will build a surface drainage system with settling ponds so that the runoff water from the work does not transport sediments to the area's drainage network.
