Singapore’s National Environment Agency (NEA) has appointed a joint venture (JV) comprising AECOM, Binnies and Ramboll to provide multi-disciplinary consultancy services for the second phase of the Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF).
The IWMF forms part of Singapore’s strategy to address future solid waste management. The facility is co-located with the Tuas Water Reclamation Plant within the Tuas Nexus complex.
Phase 2 of the project is planned to handle up to 2,900 tonnes (t) of waste daily, supporting both energy generation from waste and the recovery of resources. The facility may also incorporate future carbon capture capabilities.
The JV will oversee planning, design, procurement support, construction supervision, and testing and commissioning services for the second phase. It will use a multi-contract delivery approach, drawing on the team's experience from the first phase, for efficient project delivery.
AECOM and Binnies, supported by Ramboll, have already held roles as Owner’s Engineer in Phase 1, which remains underway.
Their involvement across both phases gives them insight into the site requirements and operational background at Tuas Nexus.
AECOM Asia region chief executive Ian Chung said: “The IWMF is a landmark project that reflects Singapore’s leadership in sustainable resource management. As Owner’s Engineer for Phase 1, we bring a strong understanding of the site, deep knowledge of the design and construction requirements, and its importance to Singapore.”
The global experience of the JV team spans the delivery of over 200 waste-to-energy projects, combining local and international expertise.
Ramboll APAC managing director Nick Fellows said: “As joint venture partners, we are honoured to continue supporting NEA in delivering Phase 2 of the IWMF. By combining our regional strengths and global expertise, the partnership will deliver innovative and efficient waste-to-energy solutions.”
Upon completion, the IWMF Phase 2 will contribute to supporting Singapore’s integrated management of waste and water resources.
Binnies Singapore managing director William Yong said: “The IWMF will play a significant role in the sustainable handling of municipal waste from across Singapore, making full use of the potential for energy generation on site through its advanced incineration systems, while exploring the infrastructure’s suitability for future carbon capture capabilities.”
