PROJECT PIPELINE New incinerator set to be built at Fort Detrick
A medical waste incinerator facility is proposed at Fort Detrick in Frederick. The project aims to safely process hazardous waste generated within the National Interagency Biodefense Campus (NIBC), reducing environmental and health risks. The previous incinerator was shut down in April 2018. The US Army Corps of Engineers is overseeing construction of a facility with a
processing capacity of 5.9t per day. It will include recycling and waste-sorting plants, collection units, storage, two multi-chamber incinerators and a 1,000kW natural gas emergency generator. In 2024, MA Mortenson was appointed as
contractor for $37.5m, with Trinity Consultants as consulting engineer.
More concrete for more projects
A pre-cast concrete manufacturing facility is planned at 4250 North Powerline Road and 4251 NW 19th Avenue in Deerfield Beach, Broward County. The project is intended to enhance the region’s manufacturing capabilities. US Crane and Rigging is leading the
development in Florida, US. The project involves an 8,714m2
facility on three hectares,
including production and storage units, administrative space, 114 parking spaces and machinery installation. RLC Architects has been appointed as the project’s architect.
Aluminium smelter shelved
Century Aluminum Company had planned to build a green aluminium smelter in northeastern Kentucky, US. The facility was designed to produce 0.6 MTPA in phases and include processing units, fuming furnaces, storage and security systems.
In January 2025, the US Department of
Energy approved $500m in funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. However, the project has been cancelled, as the company decided to relocate development to Oklahoma instead of Kentucky.
Paper supply and demand Nicotine pouch manufacturing facility gets the go-ahead
Philip Morris International is constructing a nicotine pouches manufacturing campus near 48th Avenue and Harvest Road in Northeast Aurora, Colorado, US. The 74,322.4m2
project includes 55,741.8m2 of manufacturing space, office
and support buildings, storage, a distribution unit and associated systems. The Haskell Company is the main contractor, with
Suntec Concrete, Burnco Colorado, Hudick Excavating and LPR Construction handling various subcontracting roles. Known as “Project Waterfall,” the development will generate 5,000 construction jobs and 500 operational jobs. Kairus acquired the site for $61.5m in September, and construction is scheduled for completion in 2026.
A paper mill expansion is planned at 58 Wescor Road, Hawesville, Hancock County. The project aims to install a modern pulper to improve machine capabilities and support growing market demand.
Domtar Pulp and Paper Products is leading
the project in Kentucky, US. The expansion includes the construction of production units, packing units, warehouses, parking facilities and the installation of safety and security systems. The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority approved $1.2m in tax incentives. The project is expected to create 400 operational jobs.
Food waste to be put to better use in new recycling centre
A recycling facility is planned in Detroit to process large volumes of commercial waste, particularly from the restaurant sector in the metropolitan area. Waste will be pre-processed into bales and pellets for transfer to Cheboygan for final processing into commodities and finished products. WM Intellectual Property Holdings is
developing the facility, which will have a capacity of 960t per day and include dumping and processing units, administrative space, parking and safety systems. In October 2022, the project received $465,000m in funding from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to support development.
