Lostock Energy from Waste

Case Study

 
Summary
Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant (SEP) is one of the UK’s most advanced Energy-from-Waste facilities, designed to process up to 600,000 tonnes of residual waste annually and generate renewable energy for approximately 125,000 homes. Backed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and FCC Environment, and delivered by a consortium including Black & Veatch and Babcock & Wilcox, the £480m scheme is classed as a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP).
PrimaVision provided on-site programme planning support during a critical delivery phase, focusing on the electrical and instrumentation (E&I) scope. Our role centred on establishing a structured baseline, improving cross-discipline coordination, and rebuilding stakeholder confidence to ensure predictable delivery across this high-profile EfW scheme.

PrimaVision’s Role
Working alongside contractor and client teams, PrimaVision provided structured programme control and commercial foresight. Our contribution included:

• Development and implementation of a phased E&I baseline programme

• Rebuilding planning logic from the ground up, aligned with upstream and downstream milestones

• Facilitating coordination across EPCM, contractor, and client teams

• Delivering structured programme reporting to strengthen trust and visibility

• Providing hands-on planning support on-site to ensure responsiveness to real-time events

Results & Impact
Robust Programme Baseline – A structured, phased plan gave all parties clarity and predictability over the E&I scope.
Improved Coordination – Alignment with upstream and downstream activities reduced clashes, delays, and wasted hours.
Restored Stakeholder Confidence – Transparent outputs and professional reporting re-established trust between project teams.
Enhanced Governance – With clear sequencing in place, risks were better managed, reporting accuracy improved, and delivery reputation strengthened.
