HZI group is responsible for the main part of the plant, i.e. designing waste cranes, grates, boilers, flue gas treatment equipment, and bottom ash treatment equipment etc., as well as dispatching supervisors for equipment supplies, installation, and commissioning. Acciona group is mainly responsible for civil construction work.
