FCC has been awarded a contract to manage eleven centers during the next three years, worth six million pounds (about €6.8 million).
The Spanish construction group FCC has won an important contract in the county of Hertfordshire, through its British service affiliate Waste Recycling Group (WRG). The contract is to manage various waste treatment and recycling centers for three years.
The project comes after winning another contract in the same county in October of last year, to manage a waste treatment and transformation center. In that case the contract was over seven years and amounted to 13 million pounds (about €15 million).
With the new contract, FCC reinforces its position in the United Kingdom, as well as its waste treatment center management business. Currently, through WRG, it manages 84 centers of this type in 17 different British counties.
The United Kingdom is the second-largest source of revenues in FCC’s environmental services division. In fact, as of year-end 2010 it provided 17.7% of sales and contributed to international revenues representing 35.7% of the total.
Last March, WRG and Cemex won a contract as a consortium for household waste treatment in the county of North Lincolnshire over a period of 27 years.
