‘Once bitten’ firm won’t tender for waste plant

Lurgi’s design for an incinerator at Longue Hougue.
THE firm set to build the waste incinerator when the States shied away from mass-burn in 2004 has pulled out of the running this time around.
David Porter, director of Lentjes UK, which was formerly Lurgi, said his company would not be tendering for the 70,000-tonne per annum waste plant after its plans for one four years ago were halted by Deputy Scott Ogier’s requete.
Mr Porter estimated that costs had risen by 10% a year so that the plant that would have cost £80m. in 2004 would cost roughly £117m. today.
