Kier will soon begin the main construction works for MVV Umwelt’s Energy from Waste plant at Weston Mill in Devonport Dockyard, Plymouth, following securing of the planning permission and the Environment Permit for the plant.

The appointment follows one year of design and the completion of preconstruction works, during which Kier has been supporting MVV’s in-house contracting company, MVV O&M GmbH, on the South West Devon Waste Partnership 25-year waste man


Regional managing director of Kier's infrastructure business, Sean Jeffery, commented: "We are pleased to be awarded the contract and to be working with MVV on the next phase of works to deliver this state-of-the-art facility, which will deal with the Partnership’s waste. This will enable us to extend our considerable local experience and contribute further to our position of being the UK’s number one contractor for power-related infrastructure."

This movement to the next phase of the contract extends Kier involvement in the Devonport Dockyard site to over 40 years, from the frigate and submarine complexes in the 1970s to refurbishment of the docks in the 1990s and 2000s.
