WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY M.R. HIGGINS OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 7th JUNE 2011
Question
Will the Minister outline the technical and operational problems, if any, that have affected /are affecting the new Energy from Waste facility and state how they have/are to be resolved and explain where the cost liability for these faults/problems lies?
Answer
The Bellozanne Incinerator was shut down at Christmas 2010 and since then new La Collette Energy from Waste plant has successfully processed all of the Island's waste.
The La Collette plant has and is being operated by CSBC Jersey Limited as part of the commissioning programme which must be completed before the plant is "taken over" by the Transport and Technical Services Department. TTS staff are working alongside the CSBC commissioning engineers so that they can be trained on the new equipment and assist with the running of the plant.
During the commissioning period many technical or operational issues have been highlighted and these commissioning issues are being resolved by CSBC Jersey Limited. So far there are no fundamental problems and there is no reason to doubt that the plant will be duly taken over by TTS. Whilst most technical and operational issues are screened out in the design phase of the project it is quite normal to discover technical problems during the commissioning period. It is a requirement that the contractor address these issues and the contractor is liable for any associated costs.
