FCC to manage waste for 97 towns in the Valencia region for 20 years
FCC has won the tender to build and manage the integrated municipal solid waste management centre for Zones X, XI and XII in Management Area 2 of the Valencia region, where it will process waste from five districts (Canal de Navarrés, Valle de Ayora-Cofrentes, La Costera, Vall d’Albaida and La Safor) comprising 97 municipalities.
The contract represents 416 million euro in revenues for the company over a period of 20 years.
The centre will handle the needs envisaged in the Zone Waste Plan for Valencia Zones X, XI and XII (Waste Management Area 2), serving 370,000 people.
In order to execute the contract, the company Valorización y Tratamiento de Residuos Urbanos (VYTRUSA), owned 80% by FCC and 20% by DIMESA, was incorporated on 17 September with 5 million euro in capital and registered offices in Valencia.
The waste reuse and elimination facility, with a centre for processing construction and bulky waste, will be built in the municipality of Llanera de Ranes. There will be 59,670 square metres of building and 125,232 of developed ground and landscaping on the 183,902 square-metre site.
The complex will be able to process close to 164,000 tonnes of waste and will have capacity to generate over 9.25 GWh of electricity per year. Cogeneration using the biogas obtained from biomethanisation will save 581 toe (tonnes of oil equivalent) and avoid the emission of 7,188 tonnes of CO2.
The project includes building a reuse facility for municipal waste, garden waste and dead pets; a sorting and processing centre for bulky and construction waste and rubble from domestic construction; a waste elimination facility; a transfer station for conveying the waste to the reuse facility; as well as construction of 22 citizen waste recycling centres, and refurbishment of another 35.
FCC will also build a three-story energy-efficient general services building. The ground floor will house the reception areas, an environmental classroom and a hall that can accommodate events and exhibitions related to research and innovation in the field of waste management. The second floor will house the facility's offices; and the third floor will be reserved for other internal uses.
Leaders in Urban Sanitation
In 2008, FCC was awarded contracts totalling 2.887 billion euro for urban sanitation activities in Spain (waste collection, street cleaning, municipal waste management, facility management, garden maintenance, sewer cleaning, etc.), i.e. twice the 2007 figure.
FCC provides urban sanitation services (waste collection, street cleaning, municipal waste management, garden cleaning, etc.) in 3,597 of Spain's 8,100 municipalities, where it billed 1.440 billion euro in 2008, compared with 1.350 billion euro in 2007. The company serves 27 million people.
In 2008, revenues from the above-mentioned services in Spain totalled 2.498 billion euro.
FCC's backlog in this area has expanded steadily and now amounts to 8.926 billion euro, i.e. 21.7% more than at 2007 year-end and equivalent to 70 months' work.
Outside Spain, FCC operates in Central and Eastern Europe, the UK and Latin America.
