Reimagining energy recovery through intelligent engineering 
At Lostock Sustainable Energy Plant (SEP), SES helped redefine what’s possible in energy-from-waste infrastructure. Through intelligent design, digital engineering, and extensive offsite manufacturing, this pioneering facility transformed residual waste into renewable energy – supporting the UK’s transition to a more sustainable future while maintaining the integrity of a live operational site. 
 SES partnered with Tata Chemicals Europe to deliver the Lostock SEP, a cutting-edge energy-from-waste facility designed to convert non-recyclable waste into renewable electricity. Capable of powering around 125,000 homes annually, the plant contributes essential baseload capacity to the national grid while significantly reducing landfill dependency. Â
Working within the constraints of a live process plant operating 24/7, we deployed innovative offsite solutions from our manufacturing facility, delivering over 50% of the services through offsite manufacturing. 
Extensive cloud scanning surveys of the existing infrastructure enabled the creation of a detailed Building Information Model (BIM), which informed every stage of the project. This integrated approach minimised disruption, ensured precision, and allowed all construction elements to be fully tested and signed off prior to delivery.
