The IDP Group will develop the executive project for the new organic matter treatment and biogas generation plant at the Urban Solid Waste Treatment Centre in Ulea (Murcia), at the request of the MAREA – HELIOPOL joint venture.

MAREA and HELIOPOL belong to the RUSVEL Group, a century-old, diversified company and one of the most solvent in the sector in Andalusia. An organization of a large construction company, but with the competitive differential of a century-old family business. Its differentiating element with the competition lies in the direct and personalized attention to its customers, public and private. It is a close, agile company that always works in a transparent, sincere and efficient way.

MAREA is a technology company with extensive experience in the integral water cycle, the environment and waste management. It specialises in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of urban and industrial water treatment plants, water treatment and desalination plants and waste plants.

HELIOPOL is one of the most experienced and solvent companies in the construction and civil works sector in Spain, which has its origin in the family business founded by Mr. Salvador Rus López in 1921. HELIOPOL is active in the south of Spain. In the field of civil works and infrastructures, HELIOPOL has large-scale works, such as the Port of Malaga, the Granada Metro, the great SE40 ring road in Seville, the Seville Exhibition and Congress Centre, the Antequera AVE Station, or the expansion of Jerez Airport, in addition to other actions in the building sector.  the restoration of historical heritage or hydraulic and environmental works.

The new plant will be located in the Urban Solid Waste Treatment Center of Ulea, managed by the Consortium for Waste Management of the Region of Murcia (COREM). The project will be developed on a plot of 35,395 m2, of which 4,834 m2 will be occupied by the new facilities, which will be added to the 19,088 m2 already existing.

Currently, the centre has facilities for the biostabilisation and refining of Recovered Organic Matter (MOR), but with the incorporation of the selective collection of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Waste (FORM), a new wet anaerobic digestion process will be implemented to energetically recover the biogas generated. The project includes the installation of an engine to transform this biogas into electricity for self-consumption, with the possibility of taking advantage of the thermal surplus in the future, as well as various complementary actions such as a new pre-treatment warehouse, a workshop, an anaerobic digester, outdoor urbanization and other auxiliary facilities.

The IDP Group will develop the executive project using the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, which will guarantee efficient management, as well as compliance with the highest standards of quality, deadlines and costs.
