Nordic Bulk is responsible for engineering, procurement and construction, following an early-phase design process focused on material flow, operational safety and regulatory compliance. CDE has provided the detailed process engineering and plant design. The installation is intended to integrate into NGIR’s existing waste management infrastructure and support the recovery of mineral fractions suitable for reuse as recycled aggregates.
The plant incorporates a closed-loop water management system enabling full process water reuse. The site layout also allows for future electrification of equipment, the use of rainwater and borehole water, and the integration of additional treatment technologies as regulatory requirements evolve. According to project specifications, up to 80 per cent of surplus soil and excavated materials can be processed for reuse in new construction applications, depending on input material quality.
Groundworks are nearing completion, with construction continuing throughout 2026. Once operational, the contaminated soil wash plant will expand regional treatment capacity, reduce dependence on landfill and contribute to the supply of recycled construction materials in western Norway.
