Construction of a new building to improve the incineration process at the Tynes Bay Waste Treatment Facility has been completed.The two-storey building is to be used to house new equipment for processing ash, which is then mixed with cement to form ash concrete.Government expects to have the new building, which is 150ft x 60ft, in use within the next four weeks.The building has recently been completed and the equipment has been installed, but bosses are awaiting an occupation certificate.The large white building with small darkened windows has attracted a lot of attention as it can be seen from the road.A spokesman for the Department of Public Works said: “The building is needed because the existing facility is outdated and too small to accommodate the new process equipment.“The building is complete and is awaiting an occupation certificate. The equipment is installed and will be commissioned during the next four weeks.”The spokesman would not comment on the cost of the new building.This comes as Government has plans to refurbish Tynes Bay to increase its energy production capabilities.As reported in The Royal Gazette, a waste-to-energy plant capable of producing ten times more electricity has been proposed to members of Government. Bermuda Environmental Energy Sustainable Group (BEESG) say the site could be ready in less than four years and produce about 20MW of electricity, enough to power thousands of homes.Until the waste treatment facility opened in October, 1994, all of Bermuda’s waste was going to landfills, particularly the Marsh Folly site in Pembroke which was nearing capacity. The facility cost $70 million to construct.
