The UK’s Port of Tyne is gearing up for more woodchips business

Three silos have been erected as the centrepiece of large-scale wood pellet facilities at the UK Port of Tyne. The structures, each 36m (118ft) tall and 45m in diameter, have been built by engineering specialist Spencer Group as part of a major, multimillion pound contract awarded by Lynemouth Power Ltd. In due course, the silos will be topped off with ‘penthouse’ structures, housing the drive mechanism for the wood pellet conveyor system, taking the full height of the buildings to 45m.

A number of new investments reflect the changing nature of the forest products business in Northern Europe.
