The plant will be situated on Trident Park, the former Nippon Electric Glass (NEG) site in Cardiff, between Ocean Way and the docks.
Viridor believes Trident Park is an excellent location for this type of facility.
Factors such as environmental impact, the potential for using surplus heat for industry, neighbouring land use and existing infrastructure were key in the decision to select this site for the proposed EfW facility.
Detailed assessments suggest that the road network is suitable for the traffic volumes generated by the proposals.
Most traffic will use off-peak hours during the working day and routing agreements can be implemented.
This was considered as part of a detailed highways study, which forms part of the Environmental Statement.
