Contractor teams entered the WtE plant in Warsaw (ZUSOK) for its modernization and expansion in April 2021. After two years, the plant is completely transformed. Of the old buildings, only the remnants of the green halls (on the left), used as a temporary waste storage facility, and the No. 1 line boiler hall (the building with white and green stripes on the right of the new chimney) can be seen in the photo. All other buildings were built in 2021 - 2023.

We closed February with a very challenging operation which was bringing the first absorber – another component of the flue gas cleaning system onto the construction site. Lifting, verticalizing and positioning the absorber required the advanced cooperation of two elevators. An additional technically demanding and time-consuming part was the attachment of the eight feet on which the device was set in its final location.

We have started the installation of the flue gas cleaning system. Three silos have already been placed at their destinations, and we are waiting for the delivery of the last one - the silo no 4. The operation of transporting, unloading, lifting (by two cranes) and setting on the support structure is a logistically and technically advanced process, especially since intensive work is underway at the site. A single silo is 18 meters long and weighs 13 tons. Each had to be moved over the heat treatment hall to reach the installation point.
