Expansion Joints for the South Clyde Energy Centre in Glasgow, UK

Expansion Joints for the South Clyde Energy Centre in Glasgow, UK

We are proud to announce the successful design and fabrication of a large number of high-tech Expansion Joints for the South Clyde Energy Centre, an advanced Energy-from-Waste (EfW) facility currently under construction in Glasgow, Scotland.

The South Clyde Energy Centre will generate renewable energy from non-hazardous domestic and commercial waste that remains after the recycling process.

Project Highlights:

  • Up to 45 MWe gross of lower-carbon electricity — enough to power around 70,000 homes
  • Contributing to Scottish energy resilience by feeding power directly into the grid
  • Diverting approximately 350,000 tonnes of residual waste from landfill or export annually

Our Expansion Joints, designed and manufactured to meet the most demanding performance and safety standards, will play a key role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the plant.

Expansion Joint supplied:

  • MACOGA MPB-I DN 3200 Pressure Balanced Expansion Joint
  • MACOGA MWL DN 2100 & 2400 Lateral Expansion Joints
  • MACOGA MWP DN 2100 & 2400 Angular Hinged Expansion Joints

All units were subjected to strict quality control procedures including 100% dye penetrant testing, X-Ray examination, visual inspection per ASME V, dimensional checks, and pneumatic leak tests.

We are honored to contribute to a facility that combines cutting-edge technology with sustainability and energy security for the region.
