The Energy from Waste Facility at North Hykeham helps Lincolnshire County Council achieve its Local, National and European targets for the management of its Municipal Solid Waste and is designed as a CHP plant to incinerate 150,000 tonnes of residual waste.
Architecturally a curved roof ‘shell’ houses the tipping hall and boiler hall and softens the visual impact of the building from elevated views from Lincoln. This curved shell is intersected by a refined rectilinear form containing the other process areas which extends at roof level to create a grand colonnade that reinforces the ‘civic’ façade of the building where the visitor centre and administration facilities are sited.
