Gospić waste remediation: Contractors selected for 4,500 tons of waste removal

The Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund has selected a consortium of contractors to remediate 4,500 tons of scattered waste, including hazardous materials, located near the former PPK Velebit silos in Gospić. The selected group, comprising Saubermacher TS, C. I. A. K., Kemis-Termoclean, and Kemokop, has been awarded a contract valued at 7.87 million euros excluding VAT. The project requires the waste to be removed within 13 months and processed for energy recovery abroad.

Franolić projekti has been appointed to supervise the works. If no appeals are filed, waste removal is expected to begin by the end of the year. This phase follows the removal of bulky waste, such as wooden pallets and car wrecks, to facilitate access for heavy machinery.

A separate, more complex procurement process is currently underway to manage approximately 33,000 tons of buried hazardous and non-hazardous waste at the site, with an estimated value of 36 million euros.
