Establishing the Programme Delivery Arrangements for a Major Infrastructure Programme webinar

North London Heat and Power Project – Establishing the Programme Delivery Arrangements for a Major Infrastructure Programme webinar

This webinar presented on Thursday 11 March explored the challenges of developing a programme to deliver a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project by a client organisation where major infrastructure delivery is not business as usual.

The existing North London Heat and Power (NLHP) facility has served north London well for nearly 50 years and has diverted more than 21 million tonnes of the non-recyclable waste which would otherwise have gone to landfill. It has had multimillion-pound investments over the decades but is reaching the end if its useful life and the Authority is investing in a replacement.

Over the next ten years the NLHP programme will build:

• Energy Recovery Facility to generate low carbon energy from waste, in the form of heat and power.
• Resource Recovery Facility with an area to process bulky waste and prepare materials for energy recovery.
• Reuse and Recycling Centre, for use by the public, and
• EcoPark House on River Lee Navigation including a visitor and education centre.

The programme incorporates construction of these facilities along with many enabling works projects necessary to create the environment for construction in a constrained operational site without disruption to ongoing waste management operations.
