Eptisa-led tie-up to supervise waste management project in Croatia's west

The other partner in the consortium is Germany's C&E Consulting und Engineering GmbH.

Under the 48-month contract worth 1.5 million euro ($2.0 million), the tie-up will provide supervision of a new state-of-the-art solid waste management center including a landfill, a wastewater treatment plant, mechanical and biological treatment facilities, and innovative bioreactor technologies, Eptisa said in a statement.

The Mariscina Waste Management Center project is financed through the EU-IPA programme.

Located in the vicinity of Rijeka, the largest port in Croatia, the Mariscina Waste Management Center will be a modern and comprehensive system consisting of landfill cells for the disposal of treated municipal and non-hazardous industrial waste, a wastewater treatment plant with membrane bioreactor technology, a transformation station, a mechanical biological treatment plant, and five transfer stations.

Eptisa also said it officially opened a subsidiary in Croatia, Eptisa Adria, in early 2012. At the moment, the subsidiary company is implementing four important projects in the country, mainly in the field of environmental infrastructure.
