Heijmans acquires Tilburg Energy Factory contract
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The De Dommel District Water Board has awarded Heijmans a contract for the
design, realisation and maintenance of an Energy Factory at the site of the
Municipality of Tilburg's sewage treatment plant. The objective is to treat the
sewage sludge from the De Dommel's management area in the most economically
favourable way, carry out the sewage water purification process in an energy-
neutral way and sell the biogas to third parties. The contract is valued at ?
31 million.
The contract form is based on an integral proposal that includes design,
realisation and a 15-year maintenance period. The proposal was evaluated on the
basis of the Economically Most Advantageous Tender (EMAT) criteria. The key
focus of the proposal was to provide the best possible economic result for the
energy factory over a 10-year period: the Total Cost of Ownership. In addition,
energy yield, use of consumables, recovery of nutrients, robustness and the
quality of the plan and the approach played an important role. Heijmans scored
well on all criteria; however, the company stood out most in terms of its TCO in
comparison to the other proposals. The project's maximum payback time was set at
10 years; with Heijmans' design the project will be well within this
requirement.
A decision is expected at the end of April. The implementation phase runs from
November 2012 to March 2014, after which the 15-year maintenance period will
commence. With the construction of the Energy Factory, Tilburg's entire sewage
treatment plant will become energy-neutral. The De Dommel District Water Board
this way will meet a portion of its objectives under the Long Term Agreements on
Energy Efficiency (LTA-3) and the Climate Treaty.
The project is consistent with Heijmans' goal of carrying out projects from
design up to an including maintenance on the sustainable energy market. The
proposal was created on the basis of a solid analysis of the customer's
requirements, resulting in Heijmans' integral approach. This requires intensive
collaboration among all civil engineering disciplines within the company to
ensure that the required innovative techniques are applied. Heijmans worked with
MWH, as the design consulting firm, on its proposal.
