Wardly Biogas
About this site.
The Wardley Biogas Plant is a large-scale anaerobic digestion facility that plays an important role in regional waste processing and renewable energy production. The plant is capable of handling up to 80,000 tonnes of food and organic waste each year, including packaged materials, palletised loads, liquids in IBCs and bulk tanker deliveries.
​
The digestion process converts organic waste into biogas, which is upgraded to biomethane for grid injection. The remaining liquid digestate is used as a high-value fertiliser on local farmland, supporting soil health and helping produce the next generation of crops. This creates a circular system where the region’s waste becomes both renewable energy and agricultural value.

What we did.
ConstructionCrew Ltd supported the construction and operation of the Wardley Biogas Plant by delivering a range of specialist mechanical installations and on-site services. Our scope included:
• Pipework fabrication and installation across heating, recirculation, feed and gas-handling systems.
• Fabrication and installation of the site-specific heating system, supporting stable digester operating temperatures and efficient biogas production.
• Cladding and insulation of the process tanks, improving thermal stability and providing long-term environmental protection.
• Installation of digester mixers, ensuring consistent blending of the substrate and optimised gas yield.
• Installation of gas membrane roofs, providing secure biogas capture and stable internal operating pressure for safe and efficient digestion.
• Operational support and process optimisation, assisting plant performance through on-site adjustments, system checks and technical expertise.
These works underpin the reliability of the digestion, heating and gas-storage systems, and support the plant’s ongoing operational performance.
Sustainability & Regional Impact.
CCL worked directly with the EPC contractor and site management team to deliver our scope safely and effectively. Close communication ensured all installations aligned with the construction programme and the plant’s mechanical and operational requirements. Our team integrated smoothly into the build schedule, supporting both initial installation and subsequent optimisation work.
Partnership & Collaboration.
Wardley Biogas transforms up to 80,000 tonnes of waste each year into renewable biomethane, reducing landfill use and supplying clean energy into the national gas network. The production of nutrient-rich digestate supports local agriculture and reduces dependence on synthetic fertilisers.
CCL’s contribution strengthens the plant’s digestion efficiency, heating stability and gas-capture performance, helping maintain a reliable renewable-energy asset that benefits both the environment and the surrounding community.
