FCC completes the first construction phase
of the Dallas (U.S.) recycling facility buildings
FCC Environmental Services is building the
three structures comprising the waste re-
cycling facility in Dallas (U.S.) after having
completed the phase involving the building
of the industrial premises.
Work is going ahead as scheduled un-
der the terms of the project and include
the construction of the main sorting plant
building using the most advanced techno-
logy in the industry. The Company is also
completing work on the two adjacent faci-
lities, the office building, locker rooms, the
visitors’ centre and a workshop for mobile
machinery.
The size of the recycling plant is 5,400
m2, of the office building 840 m2, and the
workshop about 300 m2. The total size of
the facilities is 5.3 hectares, equivalent to
the size of eight soccer fields.
Construction and operations of this re-
cycling facility is contemplated in the con-
tract awarded to the company less than a
year ago. FCC will be handling all of the
city’s recyclable waste over the next 15
years. The contract can be extended for
another 10 years and turnover will be ap-
proximately 270 million euros.
The structure of the automatic sorting
plant was successfully completed in the
first phase using the latest technology. It
will be able to sorting and classification te-
chniques, including optic sorters and the
largest sieves in the sector.
After completing this project phase, work
will continue on the installation of the va-
rious technical equipment inside the buil-
dings such as waste sorting machinery
communication networks, and the work
furnishings of the workshops and offices.
