WtE plant in Warsaw / ZUSOK – overhead cranes installed

We have installed overhead cranes in the waste bunker, which will be used to move huge grippers that transfer waste to the boilers. To install the overhead cranes, we needed a mobile crane with a lifting capacity of 500 tons. At Warsaw's WtE plant, mixed waste is safely disposed of and, additionally, the cogeneration process produces heat and electricity from the waste, which is transferred to the capital's distribution networks. After expansion and modernization, the plant will increase its capacity sevenfold.
