Mallorca's Parque de Tecnologías Ambientales complex is a reflection of the Balearic island's tourist appeal: excessive! The facility we built, a twin extension to a pre-existing one that was outdated in terms of sheer capacity, can process up to 500,000 tons/year of household or industrial waste, and is part of a complex that includes a dozen industrial facilities that can be visited via a monorail circuit several kilometers long!
The new unit features a composite architecture that translates the different process components into identifiable volumes and treatments, while adapting effectively to environmental and climatic constraints.
