In parallel, the partnership and its advisors plan to procure an 80m x 20m steel-framed processing hall, which is intended to house the array of process plant designed to process ad-hoc wood waste into a specification woodchip suitable for panel-board manufacturing. To produce the woodchip, the scope of this opportunity may typically include a pre-crusher, shredder, picking station, screens, magnets, mobile telehandler, wheeled loader etc. 5. The plant and equipment (powered by electricity where possible, to reduce CO2 emissions) will be procured under a turnkey solution and will be installed following completion of the construction works.
